Albuquerque Update - Occupiers told to leave site

[Voice for Peace]

I think anyone can call to support the protester's right to stay in the park. Public opinion helps. You can always mention that you're an alumnus.. if that's honest, I mean. Showing up at midnight was kind of a low blow.

ACTION TODAY ! OCT 10th
30 APD and UNMPD officers showed up at midnight to kick Occupy ABQ out. Tell everyone to call the number below - all your friends, their friends, and other protesters in other cities. Call UNM's President's Office ASAP and let him know that they should be able to stay and should not have been kicked out! Please!

Office of the President
505-277-2626 Phone
505-277-5965 Fax

Be polite & articulate...
Here's a sample script if anyone needs one -- "My name is ________ and I am a student/member of the community and I would like to leave a message for the President. I am a supporter of the Occupy Albuquerque Movement and feel they should be allowed to return to UNM's campus to continue their work for America with the 890 cities across the country." Short simple and to the point -- that's all we need!

Spread this as fast as you can! Email, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Frankly, I'm ashamed that this could happen in America today.

3. Is UNM public or private land?

4. Showing up at midnight is one of the police's favorite tactics. And I want to remind people...

that if you are actually homeless, this happens every...night...of your life.
