Occupy Worcester reports that police have arrested 18, most of whom will be out on $40 bail. Worcester participants note that more than half of the arrestees are new to activism; the Occupy message continues to resonate broadly. Occupy Boston and the entire 99% stand in solidarity with Worcester.

NOV 9th in Worcester Event
I received the following email that I wanted to share in case anyone is interested in this event (and before anyone jumps to conclusion that I am a big MoveOn.org, or Obama fan, or progressive etc, – I am not; I am an Independent who just believes change is needed in our system) — so…just sharing since it is in Worcester.

“…the goal isn’t just conveying information, it’s bringing together people who want to get involved and help fix our broken system”
“The economic collapse didn’t happen by accident. It’s the direct result of decisions made by Wall Street and our leaders in Washington to prioritize the 1% over everyone else.
If we want to rewrite the rules of our economy so it works for all of us, then understanding those decisions, and how we ended up here, is crucial.
This Wednesday, November 9, you can get answers and build your understanding at the “How the 1% Crashed the Economy” teach-in in Worcester. An American Dream Movement volunteer is leading a discussion about how the economic collapse is impacting our communities, who caused it, and how we can turn things around.
Can you join the teach-in on Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2011, at 7:00 PM in Worcester?
Host: Mara P., a fellow MoveOn member
When: Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2011, at 7:00 PM in Worcester.
The teach-in isn’t going to be a dull list of facts and endless charts. You’ll hear the story of exactly how the 1% wrecked our economy, the history behind it, and how we can reverse the damage they’ve done.
The Rebuild the Dream Innovation Fund has put together a presentation, with help from leading progressive economists, for teach-in hosts with information and key historical lessons. But the goal isn’t just conveying information, it’s bringing together people who want to get involved and help fix our broken system.”
