This marks a momentous victory for Wall Street—much to the despair of student loan debtors across the country. On this date, the profiteers on Wall Street will be popping champagne bottles, eating caviar, and sneering at the debt-burdened students and graduates who lug around this 1 trillion dollar ball and chain.</p> <p><a href="/article/tomorrow-1t-day-break-link-between-wall-street-and/">Read More...</a></p> </div> <p class="view-comments"> <a title="View Comments" href="/article/tomorrow-1t-day-break-link-between-wall-street-and/#comments"> 40 Comments</a> </p> </article> <article class="article " id="act-and-occupy-tax-wall-st-end-aids"> <h1><a href="/article/act-and-occupy-tax-wall-st-end-aids/"> ACT UP and Occupy: Tax Wall St., End AIDS! </a></h1> <p class="info"> Posted 11 years ago on April 24, 2012, 8:46 a.m. EST by <a title="View OccupyWallSt's profile" class="user" href="/users/OccupyWallSt/">OccupyWallSt</a> </p> <div class="words"> <p><img src="http://www.actupny.com/images/stories/2012/04/robinhood_031112-web.jpg" alt="ACT UP"></p> <p>ACT UP (The AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) and Occupy Wall Street are joining forces to pump up the volume on a growing nationwide outcry for a "Financial Speculation Tax" (Fi.S.T.) on Wall Street.</p> <p>To commemorate its 25th anniversary, the AIDS activist group ACT UP will return to its roots and stage a massive demonstration and march on Wall Street — on Wednesday, April 25 — starting at 11 am at City Hall and ending on Wall Street.

Enough is enough. Another city is possibe, but we must build it.</p> <p>As we approach May 1st, we will be setting up 99 picket lines to expose, disrupt, and shut down the 1% who rule our city. The 99 pickets will be an effective way for people to plug into the morning activities on May Day. A few other pickets will happen in coming days to build for the May 1st, but the focus of this project is May 1st. This is an opportunity to fight back against austerity, union busting, the attacks on immigrant rights, and the entire system of the 1% rule with a tactic and framework that is in solidarity with the May Day call to action. The recent General Strikes in Spain and Greece show us that when we all fight back together, against austerity we are stronger. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picketing_protest/">picket line</a> is a tactic with a rich history. It can be diverse and does not have to be symbolic.</p> <p><a href="/article/99-picket-lines-underway-immigrant-rights-groups-o/">Read More...</a></p> </div> <p class="view-comments"> <a title="View Comments" href="/article/99-picket-lines-underway-immigrant-rights-groups-o/#comments"> 2 Comments</a> </p> </article> <article class="article " id="take-over-wells-fargo-shareholder-meeting-april-24"> <h1><a href="/article/take-over-wells-fargo-shareholder-meeting-april-24/"> Today in the Bay: Take Over the Wells Fargo Shareholder Meeting, 10 am </a></h1> <p class="info"> Posted 11 years ago on April 24, 2012, 1:47 a.m. EST by <a title="View OccupyWallSt's profile" class="user" href="/users/OccupyWallSt/">OccupyWallSt</a> </p> <div class="words"> <p><img src="//i.imgur.com/VM5xw.jpg?1" alt="occupy wells fargo"><br> <em>Occupy4Prisoners at past Wells Fargo action in SF</em></p> <p><strong><em>Update, 12:30:</em></strong> Police in riot gear struck a 62-year old woman in an attempt to break the blockade <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/pixplz#utm_campaign=ss-post-backlink&utm_source=9867921&utm_medium=social">Watch on livestream here</a>!
