http://www.radio4all.net/program/56652Podcast for Program: Occupy Wall St. Bid to Reclaim Space, OWS Jobs For AllSat, 24 Dec 2011 10:00:38 +0000240http://www.radio4all.net/program/56652OWS Undaunted By Dozens Of Arrests In Bid To Reclaim Space, Continues Its Work With The 99 Percent Celebrating its 3rd month of existence OWS came to take back The Commons, a space owned by Trinity Church, to assert freedom of expression and the right to assemble as fundamental freedoms. While more than 50 arrests ensued still through creative, bold actions OWS has renewed a sense of hope, revived a belief in community and awakened a sprit of resistance. “To Occupy”, the word has been repurposed by OWS to mean to come together in a resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions who can no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1% and their governmental shills. ********************************* Demands For Jobs For All Grows With Connie Kaplan, 99er, activist Eric Lerner Cindy Klumb Tony Perkins The Labor Outreach Committee, of OWS, POP, OWS en Espanol, The Jobless Working Group OWS and Occupy Harlem are among an expanding chorus advocating for a democratically controlled public works and public service program, with direct government employment, to create tens of millions of new jobs at good union wages. The new jobs will go to meeting the needs of the 99%. The program would be funded by raising taxes on the rich and corporations and by ending U.S. wars and would be open to all, regardless of immigration status or criminal record.
