NO to War and Economic Injustice! at Occupy Boston Sunday Oc.t 30. 2011
War, police repression, racism, and austerity are the tools used by the 1% - the military, corporate, financial complex – to maintain their domination and profit margins. We need to build a broad movement that makes these connections and challenges their mighty machine through education and direct action.
Come to a meeting to organize an Occupy Boston Antiwar Working Group.
Sunday, December 4, 2:30 PM
(Meet at Camp Alex on the Plaza – SE corner of encampment closest to South Station)
