With only three
weeks remaining until the march for jobs and justice on Sunday September 2,
organizers with the Coalition to March on Wall Street South will launch a major
coordinated outreach blitz across Charlotte, North Carolina, beginning Monday at
the campus of Central Piedmont Community College.
There, they will
be joined by a group of school bus drivers from Boston from USW Local 8751, a
student from California, and an organizer from Philadelphia who is a member of
the Women’s International Democratic Federation (FDIM), all of whom have
traveled to North Carolina to assist with the
mobilization.
“We’re taking
our message for jobs and justice, and money for people’s needs not for banks and
wars into communities across the country. Last week in Philadelphia, we held a
forum about the March on Wall Street South that was attended by dozens of people
who will be coming to Charlotte in just a few weeks,” said Berta Joubert-Ceci,
an organizer with the Philadelphia International Action Center.
“When we march
here on September 2, we’ll be standing with hundreds of thousands of workers
across the globe who are tired of all these attacks by the banks and standing up
to say: Enough is enough!” wallstsouth.org
Occupy Tampa and
the Tampa Bay Regional General Assembly has also called for a national action to
shut down Bain Capital WG on August 30, according to
interoccupy.net. Bain Capital,
co-founded by Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential candidate, took part in
many “hostile takeovers”, a practice that involves buying a company in order to
simply lay off the workers, close the company and sell it for spare
parts. The organizers
of the event have urged American citizens to help coordinate direct actions in
their local areas against corporations owned by Bain Capital.
