NOW. Manny Herrmann, AFL-CIO<[email protected]> At 7 a.m. tomorrow, New York Mayor Bloomberg plans to effectively evict the Occupy Wall Street protesters. Mayor Bloomberg is ordering Occupy Wall Street protesters out of Zuccotti Park for a cleanup at sunrise, and his new rules for their return would effectively shut down the occupation. Will you consider coming out to Zuccotti Park to support the protests? Since the protests are a truly organic movement, and aren't organized by the AFL-CIO, we can't tell you exactly what will be happening. But what we can tell you is this: the more people who can stand in solidarity at this critical moment, the better. As I write this message, Occupy Wall Street is asking people to show up at midnight. But whether you are reading this message before or after midnight, I encourage you to get the latest details here: http://www.occupywallst.org To find Zuccotti Park on Google maps, click here. http://www.google.com/maps?q=Zuccotti+Park,+Manhattan,+New+York,+10006&hl=en&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=53.477264,79.013672&vpsrc=0&geocode=FagsbQIdyK2W-w&hnear=Zuccotti+Park,+New+York,+10006&t=m&z=15 Thank you for coming out to stand with the 99 percent.

NEED MASS TURN-OUT, SHOW UP AT MIDNIGHT, NOT 6 A.M. This is an emergency situation. Please take a minute to read this, and please take action and spread the word far and wide. Occupy Wall Street is gaining momentum, with occupation actions now happening in cities across the world. But last night Mayor Bloomberg and the NYPD notified Occupy Wall Street participants about plans to "clean the park" - the site of the Wall Street protests - tomorrow starting at 7am. "Cleaning" was used as a pretext to shut down "Bloombergville" a few months back, and to shut down peaceful occupations elsewhere. Bloomberg says that the park will be open for public usage following the cleaning, but with a notable caveat: Occupy Wall Street participants must follow the "rules". NYPD Police Commissioner Ray Kelly has said that they will move in to clear us and we will not be allowed to take sleeping bags, tarps, personal items or gear back into the park. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/wall_street_protestors_will_tents_4IyAa1fLfXamvvwkvSbHbM This is it - this is their attempt to shut down #OWS for good. PLEASE TAKE ACTION 1) Call 311 (or +1 (212) NEW-YORK if you're out of town) and tell Bloomberg to support our right to assemble and to not interfere with #OWS. 2) Come to #OWS TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT to defend the occupation from eviction. For those of you who plan to help us hold our ground - which we hope will be all of you - make sure you understand the possible consequences. Be prepared to not get much sleep. Be prepared for possible arrest. Make sure your items are together and ready to go (or already out of the park.) We are pursuing all possible strategies; this is a message of solidarity. Click here to learn nonviolent tactics for holding ground. http://occupywallst.org/article/how-hold-your-ground/ Occupy Wall Street is committed to keeping the park clean and safe - we even have a Sanitation Working Group whose purpose this is. We are organizing major cleaning operations today and will do so regularly. If Bloomberg truly cares about sanitation here he should support the installation of portopans and dumpsters. #OWS allies have been working to secure these things to support our efforts. We know where the real dirt is: on Wall Street. Billionaire Bloomberg is beholden to bankers. We won't allow Bloomberg and the NYPD to foreclose our occupation. This is an occupation, not a permitted picnic. ========== EMERGENCY ACTION - DEFEND OCCUPY WALL STREET!

Sign the petition in defense of the protesters and their First Amendment rights and then spread the word to everyone you know. Mayor Bloomberg: Respect the protesters' First Amendment rights. don't try to evict Occupy Wall Street. ========== Defend 'Occupy Wall Street' Friday Labor Notes http://labornotes.org/ Labor has rallied behind the Wall Street occupation to return the nation's focus to the executives, bankers, and politicians who got us into this mess. But Mayor Michael Bloomberg is trying to shut down the heartening 'occupy' phenomenon, now in its fourth week, with a cleanup at sunrise Friday. As the occupiers note, "cleaning" was used as a pretext to shut down the "Bloombergville" protest against budget cuts a few months back, and to shut down peaceful occupations elsewhere. Bloomberg says the protesters could return, but under new rules prohibiting tarps, sleeping bags, and "lying down," in an attempt to halt a growing call for an economy that serves working people and not the corporations and banks. The occupiers have their own sanitation team cleaning the park, and many unions are offering aid and solidarity tomorrow morning to prevent the police from crushing what's become a vital national symbol of resistance (and a staging ground to bring allies and attention to union fights). Join your fellow troublemakers tomorrow for a show of solidarity at 6 a.m. at Zuccotti Park, at the corner of Liberty and Broadway in downtown Manhattan. Watch the Occupy Wall Street page for updates. http://occupywallst.org/ ========== URGENT: Defend Occupy Wall Street Bold Progressives Progressive Change Campaign Committee http://act.boldprogressives.org/sign/petition_defend_ows/?akid=5492.85503.fT05-7&rd=1&source=e1-boa&t=3 BREAKING NEWS: The New York Times reports "Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Wednesday night that protesters would be made to leave" at 7am -- effectively evicting the Occupy Wall Street. We have less than 24 hours to stop it - please sign this emergency petition. Mayor Bloomberg: Respect First Amendment rights. Don't try to evict Occupy Wall Street. Bloomberg is claiming the eviction is "temporary" for a "cleaning" of the park -- the exact excuse used to permanently end prior protests. We need a national groundswell immediately. UPDATE: Over 100,000 people signed this petition in the last few hours. It will be delivered by our friends at MoveOn to Mayor Bloomberg tonight -- please sign now and spread the word to everyone you know. ========== Stop NYC From Evicting "Occupy Wall St." Robert Borosage, Campaign for America's Future <[email protected]> Disturbing developments in New York City. Mayor Mike Bloomberg just said he's going to use the police to effectively end "Occupy Wall Street" Friday morning. In a transparent ploy, new rules were passed out this morning prohibiting tarps, sleeping bags and "lying down" - even as temperatures plummet. We must stand up in defense of "Occupy Wall Street." American Dream movement leaders are sounding the call across the nation: Call Mayor Bloomberg at 212-NEW-YORK (212-639-9675) now and tell him: "Respect the First Amendment. Don't evict 'Occupy Wall Street.'" We need to show a national groundswell of support in the next few hours for the brave occupiers who are peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights and highlighting our broken economy that's left 99% of us behind. The only way we'll get Mayor Bloomberg to change his plan is massive public pressure. Take a moment now and call 212-NEW- YORK (212-639-9675) and stand up for "Occupy Wall Street." They want to crush our movement. They can't if we don't let them. ==== Earlier today we asked you to call New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's office and tell him "Respect the First Amendment. Don't evict 'Occupy Wall Street.'" Many of you did, joining numerous other organizations supporting the occupiers. And, predictably, the phone lines in Bloomberg's New York City offices were jammed. If you tried calling and were greeted with a long recorded message followed by a long time on hold, there are other ways to show your opposition to the effort to shut down the protest against Wall Street and the big-money corruption of our politics. 1. You can sign MoveOn.org's petition. That petition is going to be delivered to Mayor Bloomberg at 6pm this evening. http://civ.moveon.org/defend_ows/ 2. You can email or call Brookfield CEO Richard B. Clark. Brookfield Office Properties owns Zuccotti Park, where the protest is being held, and has asked the city to remove the protestors so the park can be "cleaned." His direct number 212-417-7063. If you get a recording, leave a message. His email is [email protected]. 3. You can send Mayor Bloomberg an email through his contact page. http://caf.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=QKtu7aqe%2BDJEmKFqTOfk9mLVo%2FvEYxug or http://www.nyc.gov/portal/site/nycgov/menuitem.bd08ee7c7c1ffec87c4b36d501c789a0/index.jsp?doc_name=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nyc.gov%2Fhtml%2Fmail%2Fhtml%2Fmayor.html However you choose, it is important to keep the pressure up on both the city and the real estate company that controls the park. don't let them silence "Occupy Wall Street."
