****Please help spread this event to OA, and other Occupations here and elsewhere. The plan is to help this event bring NATIONAL attention to the unprovoked police violence at NATO..*****
During the NATO Summit of 2012, over one thousand protesters, including many from Occupy gathered in Chicago to stand up against the murderous actions being committed by the United States and other governments of the world.
The responding officers with Chicago PD assembled an army in riot gear with numbers larger than many experienced activists have ever seen. These cops savagely attacked and beat defenseless protesters with heavy clubs, inflicting serious injury.
The beatings by these officers were unprovoked. While the police
conducting them wore full riot gear, they savagely attacked unarmed
college students, members of the media, and random protesters gathering from all across the country.
In response, occupations throughout the U.S. are joining together for a protest action to shame the Chicago PD.
In Atlanta, we are planning a massive noise demonstration. We ask that other Occupations get involved at the same time, on the same date. We will gather for a march on Tuesday, 6/12/12 at 6:00 PM at Troy Davis Park. We will leave the park shortly after, bearing bucket drums, whistles, and anything that we can use to make plenty of noise. Our destination will be CNN Headquarters. We will be prepared to let the executives at CNN know that they are obligated to share the crimes commited by Chicago PD with the world!
See you there, and remember to bring a friend.
