Missed last Saturday's National Day of Action? Marched once and canât wait for more? Just out of jail and ready to re-pitch your tent? Here are the main events from the official Occupy Seattle calendar for the week ahead:
On Friday, Oct 21, at 9:30 a.m. at Westlake, there will be a protest against foreclosure auctionsâyou know, the selling off of homes that people in the 99 percent lost because they couldnât pay their mortgages (often because they lost a job or fell prey to predatory lending, or both).
On Saturday, Oct 22, at 2 p.m. at Westlake, thereâs a previously scheduled March Against Police Brutality and a general "Day of Solidarity"âand, who knows, maybe that show of solidarity will once again turn into a large Saturday night party / overnight re-occupation.
On Tuesday, Oct 25, at 11 a.m. at Westlake, thereâs an anti-war vigil.
On Wednesday, Oct 26, at 7 p.m. at Westlake, thereâs a meeting to discuss the formation of a Public Bank for Washington State.
And if all of that sounds stressful, thereâs âmeditation/silent reflectionâ scheduled for every day at 6 p.m. outside the Westlake Seeâs Candies. Suck on a caramel while you quietly adjust your Chakras. Good for the local economy and your soul.
(However, if all of that sounds not at all stressfulâif it in fact sounds to you like way too little protesting for this important momentâwell, hey, the General Assembly meets every day at 6:30 p.m., also at Westlake. Go tell âem!)
