Unions Stand with Occupy Movement in Oakland and Nationwide
by Mike Hall
October 31, 2011

The Alameda Labor Council and California Labor Federation are standing in solidarity with Occupy Oakland’s Nov. 2 Day of Action. In a message to activists, council Executive Secretary-Treasurer Josie Camacho says working families are “inspired by the spirit of the fight against Wall Street.”

This Day of Action will be a public demonstration of support for the right to peaceably assembly without interference, and against the growing wealth and income inequality created by Wall Street and the actions of the richest 1 percent.

Along with encouraging noontime worksite actions and joining the 5 p.m. PDT mobilization at Oakland City hall, the labor council and its affiliates will hold a “cookout” to feed everyone taking part.

1. BUY NOTHING wherever you live

Good idea seen on another forum...stores will notice the "message" and if marked might get news coverage.

"Don't buy online either" he posted

2. lights off for about 30 seconds at 10pm ET 9pm CT 8pm MT 7pm PT

Seen as an idea on another forum

Sounds good...utilities will notice a dip...especially if "u also turn off all other electric appliances like a/c's" he said on that forum.

Thanks to the poster greekguy27 whoever he is

5. Some very good ideas on this post but when I read that I am supposed

to not buy anything on Nov 2 and it is already that date it is probably too late to participate. As luck would have it I have not bought anything yet. So I am in. As to the lights off I can do that but have no control over what is on in other family members rooms.
