Philly, Where It All Began

Philly, Where It All Began
Tue, 5/15/2012

May Day may be over, but summer's nearly here and there is still plenty of music and fun ahead. The National Gathering Working Group and members of InterOccupy will be organizing the "Occupy National Gathering," featuring music and performances on July 4 in Philadelphia.

"This movement will always live primarily at the local level," the Occupy National Gathering Proposal reads, "but every great movement should have the chance to gather en masse as a demonstration of solidarity and strength."

The proposal has been submitted to every General Assembly in the country, and many have already ratified it.

"We will also prove, through the entire process leading up to July 4, that our movement is capable of coordinating mass action and collaborating on a broad scale, while still holding fast to our principles," the proposal also read.

For more information, visit OccupyNationalGathering.com and InterOccupy.org.

This last month has shown America that society will gladly tolerate vigilante violence, provided a vigilante chooses the right target.

President-elect Donald Trump isn’t just appointing incompetent buffoons to his Cabinet, but deeply immoral individuals who are completely lacking in family values.

Biden cared more about the appearance of having an independent DOJ untainted by politics than he did about holding an unrepentant criminal ex-president accountable.

The American people clearly spoke, and the drubbing Democrats received requires looking beyond just issue polls, voting patterns, campaign strategy, or get-out-the-vote tactics.

If the Democrats’ theme of 2017 was Resistance, the theme for Democrats in 2025 needs to instead be Opposition — and these two GOP senators may be the models to emulate.
