When will you #reoccupy? April 4th? May 1st? It's not if, but when. And so on this day finds itself as Occupy Wall Street day 931. And Occupy Wall Street is still moving fast, sort of. And today is one of those reoccupy Wall Street kind of days. And there is a Wave of Action on this day for reoccupy seemingly everything everywhere with website descriptions and seemingly a bazillion websites and Occupy Wall Street Facebook events that I have come across in internetland in the past few days that read something like as follows. Occupy Wall Street Worldwide.
The Worldwide Wave of Action begins April 4th and runs
through July 4th. During this three-month cycle, people throughout the
world will be protesting corruption, rallying around solutions and
taking part in alternative systems. The new paradigm will be on full
display.
Studies have proven that it only takes 3.5% of the
population taking nonviolent action to create meaningful and positive
change. The Worldwide Wave of Action gives all of us who want change a
powerful opportunity to make it happen and move society forward.
Change-makers all over the world will be engaged at the same time in an
unprecedented wave of transformation.
On April 4th, there will
be Worldwide Wave launch celebrations at hundreds of former Occupy
locations globally. We will gather at Zuccotti Park in NYC to honor Dr.
Martin Luther King’s legacy of nonviolent action and spend the day
connecting with allies and strategizing spring action campaigns. This
crowdsourced campaign will become what you, the people, make of it,
self-organizing and organically evolving, a new culture will emerge.
What are you most passionate about? What are you doing to be the
change? Whatever it is, passionately be it in public this spring. Get
together with like-minded friends and have fun with it.
We have power in numbers. United we are unstoppable.
OUR TIME HAS COME!!

6:00 pm: Know Your Rights - NYC #WaveOfAction Mask Edition
Did you know you can be arrested for wearing a mask during #WaveOfAction?
Police in New York City sometimes enforce a very old city law that
bans masks and facial coverings at gatherings of two or more people
unless it is “a masquerade party or like entertainment.”
If there is more than one masked individual at an event, everyone
wearing a mask could get arrested. The law permits the police to use
discretion in enforcement, so there may be some situations, and some
types of face coverings, that police will ignore.

collaborative research to emerge from Occupy Wall Street, and reflect on
the possibilities of using the format of the book as an organizing tool
in the task of building a debt-resistance movement. Along with a brief
introduction to this revised edition, the event will also be an
opportunity to celebrate the role played by books in emancipatory
movements more generally—including book blocs of course! Refreshments
