Community - creating, being in, supporting
Wednesday, December 14, 2011 - 6:00am to 8:30am
Sunday, December 18, 2011 - 2:00am to 4:00am Why do we live in a society that has never been so unequal?
Why do the rich 1% put corporate greed before human needs of the 99%?
Why do homes cost so much and rents are so high? Why can mining CEOs get rid of a democratically elected Prime Minister?
Why do CEOs get massive pay rises while cutting everyone else's pay?
Why can't we have a say in how our workplace runs?
We are richer than ever, so why is there always less and less money for hospitals and education?
Why are we all always in debt?
How come the banks get away with charging so much?
Sunday, December 18, 2011 - 12:00am to 2:00am Stay tuned for details of what will be in school!
About the Free School
Occupy Sydney has been present in Martin Place almost continuously since 15 October 2011. A crucial part of the occupation is open public discussion. Some of these discussions are organised into a ‘Free School’, held on most Saturday afternoons.
Free School is:
a space for honest, frank and respectful discussion and the
building of solidarity amongst participants
open for everyone to present or join sessions and workshops
Sunday, December 11, 2011 - 12:00am to 8:00am Occupy Sydney invites individuals, families and inviting community groups to join us for a festival at Martin Place on 10 December – the Global Day of Action and Global Human Rights Day.
This family friendly festival will feature music, art, workshops (free school), open mic, talks and participation from a variety of communitiesSydney talking about global human rights and social justice issues.
The Festival will be held between 1pm and 6pm. The event is family friendly and all are welcome.
Wednesday, November 23, 2011 - 4:00am to 6:00am Qantas CEO Alan Joyce is speaking in Sydney at a UNSW School of Business "Meet the CEO" event at City Recital Hall, Angel Place (http://www.asb.unsw.edu.au/events/pages/)
Joyce is a clear symbol of the greed and ruthlessness of the 1% - join our protest outside the meeting to show him how we feel, and demand that Qantas meets workers' demands to keep their jobs and have decent wages that keep up with the cost of living.
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 - 11:00pm to Wednesday, November 23, 2011 - 1:00am March to State Parliament, Macquarie St, to hand over 15,000 petitions against CSG to Premier Barry O'Farrell!
Speakers include: Drew Hutton (Lock The Gate president); Jess Moore (Stop CSG Illawarra) + other community speakers
Over 15,000 residents of NSW have signed a petition for:
* An immediate moratorium on all CSG projects;
* A Royal commission into the full impacts of CSG; and
* An immediate ban on fracking.
A global movement is growing. From Egypt to Spain, from Greece to the United States, hundreds of thousands of everyday people are occupying. Occupy Sydney began on 15 October, with hundreds of people reclaiming Martin Place. Flanked by the imposing towers of the financial and political elites, where a handful of people make decisions which affect the whole society, a new democratic space was established.
