"The Occupy Wall Street movement has put economic justice in the spotlight. More and more people are talking about how to hold Big Banks accountable—and how to rebuild the economy for everyone.

That's why we're getting together for "Make Wall Street Pay" meetings October 22-26 to discuss what we can do locally to fight back against Wall Street. From helping homeowners fight foreclosures to encouraging municipalities, schools, and organizations to move their money to local banks to protesting at Bank of America or Chase, we'll come together and plan actions we can take during November.

How is this connected to Occupy Wall Street? Our goal is to launch targeted local campaigns to complement the amazing work being done by brave Occupy Wall Street protesters—something MoveOn members around the country have been asking for. And we'll continue to do everything we can to support and stand in solidarity with #Occupy. "

Events in your area: click on an event name to sign up Sunday, 23 Oct 2011, 2:30 PM Make Wall Street Pay Planning Description Planning Future Events. Come one - Come all! We need input on what events we need to consider next. How can we best support the (un)Occupy 'Burke movement?

At this meeting, we'll discuss what this powerful moment means for our local communities. We'll brainstorm ideas for upcoming days of action on Nov. 5th & Nov. 17th, local campaigns targeting Big Banks, and how we can be in solidarity with the Occupy movement and Unions. We are fortunate to have as a guest Erica from the Occupy group here in Albuquerque. Can you join MoveOn members near you to determine the best way to make Wall Street pay in your community?"

Move On: Fuck Off!

MoveON can be in solidarity by calling for and supporting mass direct actions going beyond OWS, like general strikes & transport blockades and pointing out that electing politicians never got significant change in this country.

MoveOn could best show their support by keeping their partisan PAC away from this movement.

We have lawyers in the movement. Is there a way to tell Moveon to fuck off in lawyerspeak? They may understand that hint. hint.

I'm sure we can trust a political group funded by a man who f'ed the UK for 2 billion dollars when they say they're out to "help" us! Please Mr. Soros, tell me again why capitalism is bad after you sit on your money pile!

I have called out more than a dozen Moveon shills blatantly pimping Ohbummer on this board. Four or five today alone. Fuck off means fuck off, and I really wish they would. Man those punks are annoying!

Just because someone agrees with me does not make me their puppet.

Maybe the Koch bros like the color blue and grilled cheese sandwiches like I do. Does that make me their pawn?

Your logic is impeccable.

Banksters aren't the only rats in the corpoRATocracy, but the banking thing is a starting point. Jettison a gas guzzler and ride a bike, e-bike, or e-scooter and say "Frak You" to BIG OIL. Downsize/ life edit. http://occupywallst.org/forum/ideas-for-effecting-change/
