Occupy Monterey Peninsula (OMP) will hold a Foreclosure Auction Rally in support of longtime Prunedale resident, Mark Reed, facing a foreclosure auction 8am, Tuesday, 13 November 2012. While all such auctions are open to the public and generally held out of doors, this particular foreclosure auction will occur inside the FOX Theatre, 241 Main Street, Salinas.

The Banks got Bailed Out, we all got Sold Out. Join OMP to call attention to this housing crisis occurring in Monterey County; to give voice to our neighbors facing foreclosure; and to express to our local elected officials that their constituents want immediate action to halt foreclosures. We must protect our investments in our communities. Picket line: 8am on Tuesday, 13 November 2012 outside of the Fox Theatre, Salinas, CA.

Converge on OGP at 3PM to begin the open forum
Dinner/breakout groups at 5PM

Occupy OGP and continue conversations all night.

The Oakland Commune served as a socio/political refuge for Oakland residents. It was open and free for all and provided a space where people could traverse race and class divides in order to share food, discussion, and visions of a more just world.

This Thursday October 25, Occupy Oacland will take back Oscar Grant Plaza with the intention of reclaiming the commons and the right of the people to organize in City Centers.

This is a call out to all thise who either experienced or were intrigued by the power of the Oakland Commune to come and contribute to the evening’s planned discussion on racism, patriarchy, state repression, and bridges to building a mass movement.

Come gather with Oakland in the commons!
