This article originally appeared on OccuEvolve

On the third anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, September 17, 2014 (S17) we will be gathering in Zuccotti Park, New York City.

OWS S17 Planning Assembly welcomes you to attend a unique Occupy Movement celebration of independent and progressive media for its role displacing mainstream media in getting out our stories and related causes.

This day is also designed to make it possible for many significant organizations within and outside Occupy Working and Affinity Groups to meet and engage in conversations geared towards creating positive solutions for the social and economic justice issues facing us all.

It is likely that Zuccotti Park will be occupied all day long and that the core assembly for media and organizations would be present at least between 10 a.m to 3 p.m.

At noon there will also be special announcements by attendees about past and current successes and to call attention to important upcoming events.

Bring your banners, promotional materials, business cards, brochures, samples, t-shirts, signup sheets, whatever you’ve got. It's with appreciation and excitement that we look forward to conversing on September 17, 2014 in Zuccotti Park.

In solidarity — We are the 99%.

The year 2020 has caused many white people to realize we live in a racist system. The Green New Deal is about systemic change for all, and deconstructing racism must be front and central in this agenda.

By infecting three of the world’s most right-wing leaders, the coronavirus underscored not only the incompetence and irresponsibility of their governments – but the truth that their brand of populism doesn't keep people safe.

COVID-19, corporate bailouts, corporate welfare, corporate destruction

Corporations are not "too big to fail" and, when they commit crimes, they are not "too big to jail." As David Whyte writes in his new book, "Ecocide: Kill the Corporation Before It Kills Us," the moment is now to rein in out-of-control corporate power.

The world has lost an incredible thinker and doer. I have lost an amazing friend. A void exists where before it was filled with David's optimism, humour and joy.

Kevin fought to bring truth every day. We must not lose this struggle.
