General Strike Press Conference to announce more details of Nov 2 plans: 4pm Telegraph & Broadway, site of 1946 Oakland General Strike

Chris Hedges, whose column is published Mondays on Truthdig, spent nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent in Central America, the Middle East, Africa and the Balkans. He has reported from more than 50 countries and has worked for The Christian Science Monitor, National Public Radio, The Dallas Morning News and The New York Times, for which he was a foreign correspondent for 15 years.

Candlelight Vigil for the death of democracy in America at the hands
of the 1% and rebirth of our nation in the hands of the 99%. We shed the myth of democracy in America. We pay respect to those passed souls who bore the torch of freedom and equality in this country, through struggle, bold action and sustained belief. We honor our ancestors and the souls of those that have strengthened life throughout the world. We will draw upon this collective spirit to guide us forward, as we claim our country for present and future generations.

The People of Color and Queer People of Color Caucus of Occupy Oakland cordially invite you to an event to honor our ancestors that died resisting colonial domination:

Our foremothers and our forefathers, ancestors who fought and rebelled from day one of this land occupation:
Slave Revolters, Freedom Fighters, Migrant Workers, Indigenous Warriors, Indentured Servants.WE PROUDLY HONOR inspirational figures from our diverse backgrounds and the resiliency of our communities that brought us to this pivotal moment in time.We will draw upon this collective spirit to guide us forward.

When: THIS Thursday! Nov. 17th from 7pm-9pm

Where: Oscar Grant Plaza–formerly frank ogawa plaza (if the plaza is inaccessible due to police activity, we will meet at 15th and Broadway)

***Because the cops took it upon themselves to destroy the altar at Occupied Oakland during their raid early Monday morning, we are asking participants to bring pictures (of loved ones or inspirational figures), flowers, and other offerings to construct a new altar that reflects our resistance and refusal to be silent in the face of state violence.
