PNC Evicts Family from Home While Holding Economy “Town Hall” Occupy Pittsburgh Now - Free Press For The People - July/August 2012 the same date that PAT’s new budget, incorporating the 35% cuts, will be adopted for the new fiscal year. “We’re still hopeful,” said Ritchie, who pointed out that although the new budget would be adopted June 30, there was still time for an agreement to be reached, since cuts would not take effect until September 2, 2012. But he added that the closer it came to that September date, the harder it would be to turn the ship around. “You start laying off employees, you print schedules. We could probably change things up to a week before. But the human and financial cost goes up as we get closer. People’s lives will be drastically affected by that point,” he said. “It’s in everyone’s interests to get this resolved.” Contact Gov. Corbett and demand he take action to save Pittsburgh’s transit system: (717) 787-2500 or [email protected].

    NO STABLE GROUND: REAL DEMOCRACY IN THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT ANNA SZOLUCHA PhD Thesis Department of Sociology, Maynooth University November 2014 Head of Department: Prof. Mary Corcoran Supervisor: Dr Laurence Cox Rodzicom To my Parents ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is an outcome of many joyous and creative (sometimes also puzzling) encounters that I shared with the participants of Occupy in Ireland and the San Francisco Bay Area. I am truly indebted to you for your unending generosity, ingenuity and determination; for taking the risks (for many of us, yet again) and continuing to fight and create. It is your voices and experiences that are central to me in these pages and I hope that you will find here something that touches a part of you, not in a nostalgic way, but as an impulse to act. First and foremost, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to my supervisor, Dr Laurence Cox, whose unfaltering encouragement, assistance, advice and expert knowledge were invaluable for the successful completion of this research. He was always an enormously responsive and generous mentor and his critique helped sharpen this thesis in many ways. Thank you for being supportive also in so many other areas and for ushering me in to the complex world of activist research. I am also grateful to Eddie Yuen who helped me find my way around Oakland and introduced me to many Occupy participants – your help was priceless and I really enjoyed meeting you. I wanted to thank Prof. Szymon Wróbel for debates about philosophy and conversations about life as well as for his continuing support.

    Global Studies Conference Abstracts Conference 2012: Dystopia and Global Rebellion Friday, May 4: 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM: Friday Opening Keynote Panel The Occupy Movement (Room A144) Title TBA Carl Davidson, Political Activist and Writer, Aliquippa, Pennsylvania Abstract Not Available Occupy Social Mobilization Lauren Langman Loyola University Within little more than two months, the Occupy movements, inspired by Adbusters, had taken the world by storm, from its clever depiction of the 99% against the 1%, to its camps and the violent state responses. Yes, they emerged in response to capitalist contradiction, yes, many are underemployed or underemployed, and yes they note the growing inequality, demise of democracy, etc. But any newspaper or online news source can tell us that, what does this mean for social movement studies? Today there exist two dominant perspectives that indeed are not just different, but almost incompatible, the RM/Political Opportunity approaches that would seek to mobilize actors to further "interests" from wages to voting rights. This would include civil rights, labor, voting rights etc. that would seek to exert pressure on the political. But NSM theories focus more on identity, values and emotions-they look to the public spheres to transform identity now to so change the future of society whether to the right resistance identities or left, project identities. What makes OCW make especially interesting is that they seek both-redress of grievances of the political economy, and transformation of identity. To understand not only the integration of these perspectives, and include considerations of emotions, social movement organization, and framing that includes utopian vision, OCW has much to teach us.

  • Pittsburgh's Old Stone Tavern Located at the Foot of Greentree Road in The
    A History of Pittsburgh’s Old Stone Tavern By Norene M. Beatty Edited By Francie Brentzel and Gretchen Haller Pittsburgh’s Old Stone Tavern located at the foot of Greentree Road in the West End community of the City of Pittsburgh beckons to those passing by. The tavern stands waiting to share the stories of the birth of this great city, the stories of the brave men and women who over the years passed through its doors. The exact date of the construction of the tavern is not known. A dendrochronology test of the original timbers in the building would provide the year the trees were cut down from the surrounding virgin forest. This could provide the date of the stone part of the tavern. Over the years there have been additions to the rear of the structure. There is a faint date stone on the side of the building that reads 1752. However, there are questions about the date of 1752. We know the tavern existed in the early 1780’s. The tavern is thought to be circa 1782, making the tavern the oldest commercial building in Pittsburgh. The date 1752 may have been placed on the stone by Alexander Lowery who was an Indian trader. Lowery became engaged in trading with the Indians in 1748 along with his father Lazarus Lowery and his older brothers. The presence of the Lowery traders along the Ohio River is evidenced by the fact that in 1750 the French offered a reward of one thousand pounds for the scalp of Alexander’s brother James Lowery.1 On August 18, 1750, Captain William Trent wrote to the Lieutenant-Governor of Pennsylvania about the death of John Lowery, another brother of Alexander.
