Een avond over bezettingsbeweging Op de Valreep
Valreper - 11.10.2011 14:34
Kom langs, laat je informeren, ga de discussie aan, bereid je voor.
VRIJDAG 14 OKTOBER – VANAF 16.00
OP DE VALREEP
POLDERWEG 120, AMSTERDAM
Kom langs, laat je informeren, ga de discussie aan, bereid je voor.
Op zaterdag 15 oktober zullen overal ter wereld pleinen worden bezet. Ook in Nederland zullen mensen de pleinen innemen. Uit het persbericht over de Amsterdamse actie: “Vanaf 12:00 zal het Beursplein te Amsterdam worden ingenomen door eenieder tegen de werking van het huidige systeem. We nodigen mensen uit om mee te denken over verandering, een andere, eerlijke samenleving en ware democratie. We vragen de 99% (ja, jou!) om initiatief te tonen en te ontwikkelen naar eigen vermogen en wil. Vooruitgang, vooruitstreven, samenwerken en bewustwording zijn sleutelwoorden.”
Vanaf 16.00 zijn we open. Er is materiaal voor wie spandoeken wil maken. Vanaf 18.00 laten we filmpjes zien van protesten over de hele wereld en vertellen mensen over hun betrokkenheid bij deze beweging en wat er vanaf de 15e gaat gebeuren. En er wordt natuurlijk gediscussieerd.
Disclaimer: niet iedereen bij ons vindt Occupy Beursplein fantastisch en we verwachten niet dat iedereen van Occupy Beursplein ons fantastisch vindt. We willen mensen de kans geven alvast kennis te nemen van de beweging en met elkaar de discussie aan te gaan.

FRIDAY 14 OCTOBER - FROM 4PM
OP DE VALREEP
POLDERWEG 120, AMSTERDAM
Drop by, be informed, join the debate, prepare
On Saturday, October 15th, squares will be occupied all over the world, including in The Netherlands. From the press release about the action in Amsterdam: "From midday onwards the Beursplein in Amsterdam will be occupied by anyone who disagrees with the way in which the current system works. We're inviting people to think about a change, a different, fair society and a true democracy. We call upon the 99% (yes, that's you!) to show initiative and to develop it according to your own capacities and will. Progress, forging ahead, collaboration and growing consciousness are key."
We are open from 4pm onwards. There are materials available for those who want to make banners. From 6pm onwards we will show videos of protests all around the world, and people will share the stories of their involvement with this movement and what will happen from the 15th onwards. And of course there will be debate.
Disclaimer: Not everyone here thinks Occupy Beursplein is fantastic, and we don't expect everyone at Occupy Beursplein to think we're fantastic. We want to give people a chance to start learning about the movement and engage each other in debate.

Declaration of the Occupation of New York City
THIS DOCUMENT WAS ACCEPTED BY THE NYC GENERAL ASSEMBLY ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2011
As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies. As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known. They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage. They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses. They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one’s skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation. They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization. They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless animals, and actively hide these practices. They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions. They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right. They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers’ healthcare and pay. They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility. They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance. They have sold our privacy as a commodity. They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press. They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit. They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce. They have donated large sums of money to politicians, who are responsible for regulating them. They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil. They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people’s lives or provide relief in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantial profit. They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit. They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media. They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt. They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad. They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas. They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts. * To the people of the world, We, the New York City General Assembly occupying Wall Street in Liberty Square, urge you to assert your power. Exercise your right to peaceably assemble; occupy public space; create a process to address the problems we face, and generate solutions accessible to everyone. To all communities that take action and form groups in the spirit of direct democracy, we offer support, documentation, and all of the resources at our disposal. Join us and make your voices heard! *These grievances are not all-inclusive.
| | Weerlegging kritiek op eisen betogers | Enough! - 12.10.2011 12:18
Bekijk onderstaande video, zeer goed commentaar op de kritieken op betogers vanwege vele, uiteenlopende eisen, of juist vanwege geen (specifieke) eisen:
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBK4DsDsEMU&feature=player_embedded#!
Quote: "...if you make specific demands, then the media and other people make these particular demand the issue. While that's not the issue. The sense is that the financial system is disfunctional as a system. That means you can't make a technocratic demand like 'fix this' [...]. It's much bigger than that. There's an awareness that the whole financial system is being disfunctional..."
