Patriotism that loves our country, our land, and our planet
LIVE NOW: Occupy Oakland is being evicted. Those remaining in Frank Ogawa plaza have been advised by OPD that they are under arrest. OPD asks all remaining occupiers to submit to arrest. @punkboyinsf is on the scene livestreaming with a very shaky video camera, but the police are keeping him pretty far back from the action. [...]
It’s not a revolution without music. Sunday evening, it was troubadours Sean Lennon (son of icon John Lennon) and Rufus Wainwright who brought their guitars to Zuccotti park. Josh Fox of the film “Gasland” talks to the crowd about fracking and clean energy, and then leads on banjo while an impromptu band of Lennon, his girlfriend Charlotte Kemp [...]
This is a breath of fresh air. Democratic New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, who should know better, wanted Occupy Wall Street protesters out of the park at the NY State Capitol. If they refused to leave, he wanted arrests. He pressured Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings, who had earlier said he had no problem with [...]
It’s a great headline, isn’t it? Carries menacing implications of jack-booted thugs, militant attacks and wanton destruction. There’s only one problem – it’s not true. Yes, another bunch of Occupy Wall Street protesters got a little carried away, engaged in behavior inside the branch that should have been kept outside, and someone actually threw a [...]
This is just pathetic. Crime is up in New York City, and high-ranking NYPD cops are blaming Occupy Wall Street. Why? Because the NYPD sent so many cops to Manhattan to pepper spray peaceful marchers and arrest authors in cocktail dresses that there weren’t enough cops to send to actual high-crime areas. Because of that [...]
By Frances Beinecke, President of NRDC, New York City Senate Republicans have opened a new front in the war against public health and environmental safeguards. They released a so-called jobs plan that calls for removing standards that protect Americans from smog, arsenic, lead, mercury, and other hazardous pollutants. What the proposal shows is that Republican leaders [...]
The Rainforest Action Network named the Royal Bank of Canada last year’s most environmentally and socially irresponsible company. Without RBC funding, the tar sands project – one of the most environmentally devastating projects on the planet – wouldn’t be going forward. (See: “It’s not jobs vs environment – it’s clean jobs vs dirty jobs“) As activist [...]
Academy Award-winning director Jonathan Demme has taken his crew to Occupy Wall Street. In a tight, 15 minute short documentary, he illustrates democracy in action and peaceful protest. Can’t make it to lower Manhattan this week? Let Jonathan Demme’s camera take you there… Like what you just saw? Like us on Facebook for more updates! More on [...]
Dr. Jill Stein, the recent Green-Rainbow Party candidate for Governor of Massachusetts, will announce her candidacy for President of the United States on Monday October 24 on the steps of the State House in Boston at 12:30 PM. A key focus on Stein’s campaign will be a Green New Deal to end unemployment in America and [...]
Well, you know… we all want to change the world. But as we work through the next weeks, it’s important to remember where we’ve been, so we can get where we actually want to go, and not get steered down another dead end. One of the wonderful things about this revolution is the [...]
