Depuis des décennies, l’industrie forestière coupe massivement dans la réserve faunique La Vérendrye et ailleurs sur le territoire algonquin. Les Algonquins qui vivent de la forêt voient leur mode de vie traditionnel disparaître en même temps qu’elle. Elle leur procure nourriture, médecine et éducation, en plus d’être essentielle à la pratique de leur spiritualité. L’été dernier, des familles algonquines se sont levées pour tenter de faire cesser les coupes à blanc sur le territoire absolument vital de …

occupyallstreets: Wall Street Occupation Shifts From Parks To Sidewalks Near Stock Exchange For the past four nights, protesters affiliated with Occupy Wall Street have camped out on sidewalks near the New York Stock Exchange, sleeping outside banks and handing out literature to financial district workers by day. Why hasn’t the NYPD swept in and crushed this dangerous nonviolent political demonstration? It seems Bloomberg’s army may be stymied (for now, at least) by a 2000 court ruling upholding protesters’ right to sleep on the sidewalk for political purposes, provided they don’t take up more than half the sidewalk. Justin Wedes, a spokesperson for Occupy Wall Street, tells us, “We are bringing the truth about inequity in this country to the belly of the beast, so that the 1%—and the many 99%’ers—who live and work on Wall Street can see what Wall Street’s agenda of greed and corruption has done to Main Street.” Last night, according to a new @SleepOnWallSt Twitter feed, over 80 demonstrators spent the night on the sidewalk on Wall Street and Nassau Street. In a video interview, one demonstrator explained further: What we’re doing here is kind of a complete return to what we originally planned on doing [at Zuccotti Park]. Union Square was kind of a healing process because we were beaten up and sick of Wall Street. We’re still sick of Wall Street. We can handle it in small doses, but now we’re back on Wall Street. This time we’re not committing any form of civil disobedience, we’re in full compliance with the law, we’re not disorderly in any way, we’re just providing silent messages. And it’s a really interesting phenomenon. We’ll eventually spread out to all of Wall Street. I kind of think of it like we’re a tumor and we’re going to keep growing and growing, in a cancerous sense… Of course, capitalism’s the real cancer. As the “Sleep on Wall Street” cancer spreads to the surrounding area in the Spring weather, it will be interesting to see how Bloomberg and NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly react. After all, the NYPD has no problem acting extra-judicially to stifle dissent and dealing with the fallout in court later. If they lose, the City can always just cut a check to settle any pesky lawsuits! But down in DC, Occupy protesters camping outside banks have already been dragged off in handcuffs for engaging in “sleepful protest.” Source

The perpetrators of the massive financial fraud have been allowed to slip quietly from the scene and continue business as usual. Our elected representatives in Washington have become so tightly intertwined with the financiers and bankers that public accountability has all but vanished. #OCCUPYWALLSTREET is all about breaking up that cosy relationship between money and politics and bringing the perpetrators of the financial crash of 2008 to justice. On September 17, 20,000 of us will descend on Wall Street, the iconic financial center of America, set up a peaceful encampment, hold a people’s assembly to decide what our one demand will be, and carry out an agenda of full-spectrum, absolutely nonviolent civil disobedience the likes of which the country has not seen since the freedom marches of the 1960s. From our encampment we will launch daily smart mob forays all over lower Manhattan … peaceful, creative happenings in front of Goldman Sachs; the SEC; the Federal Reserve; the New York Stock Exchange … and maybe even, if we can figure out where they’re being held, at the sites of Obama’s private $38,500 per person fundraising events happening somewhere in Manhattan on Sept. 19 and 20. Our strategy will be that of the master strategist Sun Tzu: “appear at points which the enemy must hasten to defend; march swiftly to places where you are not expected.” With a bit of luck, and if fate is on our side, we may be able to turn all of lower Manhattan into a site of passionate democratic contestation – an American Tahrir Square. We will do all this with peace in our hearts. Our unshakable commitment to nonviolence will give us the spiritual strength we need to inspire the nation and to ultimately triumph in the weeks and maybe months of struggle that will unfold after September 17. for the wild,Culture Jammers HQ occupywallstreet.org / occupywallst.org / Reddit / Facebook PS.
