VICTORY-The city has backed down and will not evict OWS from Liberty park.
It is an important victory forged by the thousands of people who showed up this morning, representing hundreds of organizations, including many,many labor organizations. But, we all know we need to stay together and grow to keep the city from coming back and to win actual structural victories to reduce income inequality and Wall ST's super profits and power.
Props to the OWS folks who have been there for weeks. Great to have seen so many LLP folks this morning as well.
There is an OWS Labor meeting @ 6 tonight. We will share more info after that.
Meanwhile our Tuesday night forum, and solidarity march becomes even more important. Please make every effort to come,bring others, and circulate the invite widely
