The following proposal was passed by the General Assembly on Jan 7, 2012:
Occupy Boston supports the call for an international General Strike on May 1, 2012, for immigrant rights, environmental sustainability, a moratorium on foreclosures, an end to the wars, and jobs for all. We recognize housing, education, health care, LGBT rights and racial equality as human rights; and thus call for the building of a broad coalition that will ensure and promote a democratic standard of living for all peoples.

May 1 is May Day. Should pick another date that is not symbolic of bloody, murderous communism.
You know it was the 1% who slanderously called Communism bloddy and murderous, right?
You do realize that May Day is an international Labor Holiday that started in the US after the police opened fire on a protest in Chicago… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Workers%27_Day#United_States
In fact the reason that the US Labor Day is in September and not May 1st (as it is in the rest of the world) is because the 1% wants people to forget about the Haymarket Massacre.
