Workers of the world are uniting in a global day of action to
commemorate International Workers Day. In hundreds of cities across
America and around the world in London, Barcelona, Toronto, Kuala
Lampur, and Sydney - there are calls for a general strike with no
working, no shopping and no banking. The Occupy Movement here in the
United States is branding it as a day without the 99%.
In response - Wall Street banks are coordinating with each and with
the police to monitor today's marches and rallies around New York City.
While the banks haven't disclosed exactly how they plan to deal with
the protests, one security adviser compared to Occupy demonstrators to
"wolves." Since the Occupy movement began last year - more than 2,100
demonstrators have been arrested in New York City and still not a single
bankster has been convicted of crimes on Wall Street.
That's why today is so important - as working people around the
world fight back against abuses of power and the corporate takeover of
our democracy and economy.
