> Tell Bloomberg: Don't Foreclose the Occupation.
> Join us at 6AM FRIDAY for non-violent eviction defense.

> Occupy Wall Street is gaining momentum, with occupation actions now
> happening in cities across the country.
>
> 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". These rules include, "no tarps
> or sleeping bags" and "no lying down."
>
> So, seems likely that this is their attempt to shut down #OWS for good.
> PLEASE TAKE ACTION:
>
> 1) Call 311 and tell Bloomberg to support our right to assemble and to
> not interfere with #OWS. If you are calling from outside NY use this
> number 212-NEW-YORK.
>
> 2) Come to #OWS on FRIDAY AT 6AM to defend the occupation from eviction.
>
> 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.
