Readers:
The following email was recently sent to our supporters. If you are interested in our Interdependence Day, please contact Cassie at ct7sisters@gmail.com for more information.
~Seven Sisters
To kick off a season of resistance to the
oligarchy, the seven sisters are gathering together all those throughout the
state of Connecticut and beyond who sympathize with the international Occupy
movements, all those who experience hardship at the hands of the oligarchy.
We declare Saturday,
June 16th, 1-5pm @ Bushnell Park, “Interdependence Day,” a day
for families, friends and citizens to gather together in recognition of their
resistance to the oligarchy for a potluck in the park, featuring music, speakers,
and information tables. When the
uber-rich are threatened, they show police force, so when the people are
threatened, it’s time to show people force. Let’s show the powers that be that we have numbers. Let’s demonstrate to ourselves that we have power.
For the past three months we have organized
within Hartford, Bridgeport and Waterbury. Now that we have a permit, it’s time to push
our organizing into overdrive, and for that, we need YOU!
We are
asking of you the following:
1.
Organize your community/neighborhood,
2.
Identify the immediate needs and concerns of
your community,
3.
Locate speakers that can speak to those needs,
4.
Suggest bands for the event,
5.
Arrange carpools and/or buses, and
6.
Be at Bushnell Park on Saturday afternoon, June
16, 2012.
Please respond to this email in the affirmative
if you are able to organize your community and attend.
If you decide to participate, and in preparation
for the big day, we will convene conference-call “town halls” for the day of
May 16th in every place where we are organized to see how each of us
can contribute to making this event a success. You will be receiving more information on the
town halls in future emails.
Also, depending on your social media needs and preferences,
feel free to:

Various groups and Occupies are planning direct
actions throughout the state for the spring and summer. By gathering together for one day, in numbers,
we can fuel our momentum for the season.
