The Occupy movement faces daily violence and eviction notices from state and local authorities across the country. Chicago has been no different, and Occupy Chicago has faced constant opposition from "Mayor 1%" Emanuel and harassment by the CPD. Our message to those who question our ability to persevere is: You can?t evict an idea whose time has come. The Occupation will continue!
The Occupy movement is inciting a conversation about the consolidation of wealth and power in our society, and the stranglehold that the top 1% have over our political system. Americans are seeing the crises of our economy and our democracy as systemic problems that require collective action to remedy. Every day, more and more Americans are identifying as part of the 99%, uniting across social and economic barriers to denounce the abuses of corporate money in politics.
Last week, the Occupy Chicago General Assembly passed a proposal called ?Operation Chicago Spring,? a plan of action for the winter and beyond. The first portion calls for a schedule of daily events, actions, and teach-ins throughout the city and suburbs, with a diverse coalition of allies. The second part is a springtime call to action, asking the nation and the world to stand behind Occupy Chicago on April 7th, for a global day of action in support of our Occupation.
This winter, Occupy Chicago will participate in daily events and actions geared towards building community and solidarity across Chicago and it?s suburbs. We are already coordinating actions with groups as diverse as the Chicago Teachers Union, StandUp! Chicago, the Amalgamated Transit Union, Students Organizing with Labor (SOUL), Workers United, and the Jane Adams Senior Caucus. We will continue to reach out to communities across Chicago, and to coordinate with other Occupations.
