DAYLONG NONVIOLENT MASS OCCUPATION on Anniversary Eve of Citizen’s Supreme Court Ruling
J20: Occupy Wall St. West
Friday, January 20, 2012.
Noon @Justin Herman Plaza , San Francisco Financial District
Respect Human Rights For Human Beings And Not For Corporations
Stop Wall St. Banks & Corporations Attack on our Communities, Homes, Education, Environment, Livelihood and Democracy
JANUARY 20: DON’T GO TO — OR WALK OUT OF — WORK AND SCHOOL. No Business as Usual!
What: A day of mass action centered in the SF Financial District.
When: Friday, January 20
Where: Beginning at Justin Herman Plaza (end of Market St.)
Why: To end corporate personhood. Corporations are NOT people; Money is NOT speech. January 20 is the anniversary eve of the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling, which further privileged corporations over people in our Constitution.
•To demand that banks stop foreclosing on our neighbors and evicting them from their homes for profit.
•To demand a stop to the displacement of families and attacks on immigrants. •To contribute to ongoing community fights for social and economic justice against banks and corporations. •To build and mobilize a broad-based, strategic mass movement asserting the people power of the 99% in San Francisco, the Bay Area, California and the region. There will be lots of activities. This is what Causa Justa :: Just Cause is planning:
• Noon – March with us from Justin Herman Plaza to Fannie Mae at 50 California St., to Wells Fargo, and to the ICE building.
