This nonviolent occupation is in protest of the global financial corruption currently invading politics, media and corporations, exemplified by the recent financial industry meltdown and following recession. The occupation will continue indefinitely until a list of demands in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street NYC are met by all levels of government, including the City and County of San Diego, the state of California, the Federal Government, and by private and public banks and corporations. The long term and overnight occupation will include marches, sit-ins, educational programs, practice of the democratic process, and General Assembly meetings wherein solutions to overlapping issues are identified, to name a few. This diversified group makes decisions via consensus. Participants are requested to meet at Children's Park (1st Ave. and Island Ave.), by 3:30 p.m. on Friday, October 7. At 4:00 p.m., the group will march to Civic Center Plaza. Children's Park is adjacent to the Convention Center Trolley Station and is two blocks south of Nordstrom Horton Plaza.

To that end, this paper is a tribune of those struggling to create such a new economic system. It is a vehicle to bring the movement to- gether, to create a vision of a better world and a strategy to achieve it. Labor-replacing electronic technol- ogy is permanently eliminating jobs and destroying the founda- tion of the capitalist system. The people’s needs can only be met by building a cooperative soci- ety where the socially necessary means of production are owned by society, not by the corporations.

  • The Journal of Social Theory in Art Education (JSTAE)
    i PreOccupy/Maximum Occupancy Kryssi Staikidis Northern Illinois University [email protected] Editorial When the Editor and Associate Editor conceived of this call for papers for PreOccupy/Maximum Occupancy, it was based on the Caucus members’ input during the annual meetings of the Caucus on Social Theory and Art Education (CSTAE) at the National Art Education Association conference, NAEA 2012, New York. We listened to our colleagues speak about the year’s events, and we discussed how we as art educators could respond to the needs of the Caucus and of our field for Volume 33 of the Journal of Social Theory in Art Education (JSTAE). Staikidis, K. (2013) PreOccupy/Maximum Occupancy. (editorial). The Journal of Social Theory In Art Education (33) (K. Staikidis, Ed.). i-vii. ii As Editors developing a call for papers, Sharif Bey and I used a kind of call and response method of work. We questioned, debated, and discussed the Caucus dialogues during which a variety of possible themes arose—geography of the body, viruses-viral, trickle up, banding together, immaterial, and preoccupy/maximum occupancy. PreOccupy/Maximum Occupancy was chosen by the group. As Sharif and I worked, we distilled our own ideas related to the theme in a somewhat non-linear way, ending with the question: How might we create a call broad enough to elicit multiple submissions that could and would inspire writers, artists, educators, and activists? Since we could not visit each other’s homes, we did this through virtual collaboration. At the end of each session, we sent each other some questions, or prose, a poem maybe, the result of our conversations, our easy exchange of ideas.

  • May Day General Strike
    April 27, 2012 May Day General Strike Prepared by the MSA Research & Intelligence Analysis Team Information current as of 9:00 AM Overview History May 1st has long been a significant date for protests and is recognized as a holiday in most industrialized countries, excluding the United States. Back in 1884, the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions of the United States and Canada accepted a resolution which stated that starting on May 1st, 1886, eight hours would constitute a legal day of labor, down from the typical 10 to 16 hours of daily work. Three main labor organizations began preparing for a general strike to be held on that date in support of the eight-hour workday. Once May 1st, 1886 approached, rallies were held throughout the United States; the largest were held in Chicago (90,000 participants), Detroit (11,000) and New York (10,000). Across the country, people left work all day to strike during normal working hours. Occupy & the General Strike While the holiday, referred to as International Workers’ Day, is not officially recognized within the US, rallies are historically common practice on May Day (May 1st). Occupy Los Angeles, Occupy Chicago and Occupy Oakland were some of the first Occupy groups to call for a General Strike on May 1st in solidarity with existing May Day events to defend the rights of workers, immigrants, students, women and other communities. Workers, students and supporters are asked to leave work or school for the day in protest of the struggles faced by varying communities. Those who simply cannot miss a day of school or work have been encouraged to join after school or work hours are over as actions will be occurring all day in multiple locations.
