Awesome Actions and Demonstrations Planned to Mark 1st Anniversary of Occupy Wall Street | Alternet
"The events planned for the one-year anniversary of Occupy Wall Street aim to show what this world without Wall Street would look like, and in that vein include not only a day of protests and direct actions on Monday, September 17, but also a weekend of workshops, convergences and trainings on the 15th and 16th and aFree University in Madison Square Park from the 18th to the 22nd. This plan, that takes on the themes of “Education” on September 15 “Celebration” on September 16 and “Liberation" on  September 17 aims to incorporate a wide range of people's interests, from the environment to debt to education and a wide range of ways to protest and come together around these shared interests.
Highlights of the schedule include thematic assemblies in Washington Square Park on Saturday, September 15th around issues such as education, debt, political repression/ anti-oppression, workers and the environment. These assemblies are aimed at plugging people into the work that is already happening around these issues, both within Occupy and within the more institutional left."
