COMMUNITY/LABOR MARCH TO WALL ST.

Wednesday, October 5 · 4:30pm - 7:30pm

Foley Square, Duane St and Centre St (outside 26 Federal Plaza)

Union workers and community members impacted by the economic crisis have been demanding that Wall Street and the wealthiest New Yorker's pay their fair share of taxes.

Let's march down to Wall Street to welcome the protesters and show the faces of New Yorkers hardest hit by corporate greed.

We'll be meeting up and assembling at 4:30 at Foley Square, march past City Hall, and meet up with our brothers and sisters at Zuccotti Park and unite in solidarity. #occupywallstreet organizers, labor leaders, and members of community organizations will speak to the assembly about Why We Stand United!

9. there is no going back. only forward

try to take your money out of big banks. think about your purchases.. can you buy local ? can you hold off on certain items. can you buy from a thrift store instead of the Dept store.

and make sure to call your Senators and Reps and ask them.. will the vote for the 99% or the 1% .
