No bikes allowed in Zuccotti (Photo via AnimalNY) Has the Occupy Wall Street movement fizzled out? Certainly the stories have moved: While Philadelphia and Los Angeles have handed their Occupiers eviction notices (but haven’t moved them out yet), and some protesters have moved down to Miami for Art Basel, we notice that it’s been awfully silent over at Zuccotti Park recently. A lot of people are speculating… Broadcasting platform : Vimeo Source : The New York Observer Discovery Date : 29/11/2011 19:20 Number of articles : 2
Just days after Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protesters were cleared out of New York’s privately owned Zuccotti Park, OWS protests were held across the country in a show of solidarity. Unlike other municipal authorities who have grown tired of the Occupy movement, the Los Angeles City Council still maintains its open invitation to the protesters to occupy City Hall’s lawn. But on November 17, Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Big Government Discovery Date : 18/11/2011 04:36 Number of articles : 2
Co-star Matthew Modine, promoting his short Jesus Was A Commie , explained why the notion to film the megabudget blockbuster at Occupy Wall Street was scrapped. “The wisdom of Christopher Nolan and his incredible team was that, while it seemed like a good idea to give [the protestors] an opportunity for work, to give them money, it would send a terrible message . At the end of the day, we’re making a movie. What’s happening down there is more important than that. To co-opt what’s happening there and around the country… we didn’t want to trivialize it. It was more important to respect what they’re doing than to do anything that could potentially trivialize the political situation downtown.” [ indieWIRE ]
Teamsters president Greg Floyd held his weekly radio show down at Zuccotti Park yesterday and among his guests was public advocate Bill de Blasio. Both Mr. de Blasio and Mr. Floyd are exploring runs for mayor in 2013, however the conservation was pretty cordial, as both defended the demonstrators right to protest. “I deeply respect what folks here are doing and we have to protect their right to do… Broadcasting platform : Vimeo Source : The Politicker Discovery Date : 10/11/2011 21:12 Number of articles : 2
Special airs Saturday at 6 p.m. ET; Also, activist Davey D gives MTV News an inside look at the fiery Occupy Oakland protests. By Uptin Saiidi Bryan in “True Life: I’m Occupying Wall Street” In the weeks since Americans fed up with the status quo hit New York’s Zuccotti Park to protest issues like economic inequality and social injustice, the movement has spread around the globe. On Saturday at 6 p.m. ET, MTV’s special “True Life: I’m Occupying Wall Street” will introduce viewers to a handful of the young demonstrators trying to bring about change. But if there’s another U.S. city that has taken to the spirit of the Occupy protests to the next level, it’s surely Oakland, California. In downtown Oakland, about 7,000 activists turned out on Wednesday for a general strike, which led to arrests and business shutdowns; the nation’s fifth largest port was even forced to close. Activist and journalist Davey D , an associate of MTV News correspondent and Oakland native Sway Calloway, has been covering the events since they first started. He told us that Wednesday’s events made a major statement. “Shutting down the port of Oakland is a huge thing that hasn’t happened in decades and hasn’t happened in Oakland in over 65 years,” Davey said. “It makes $8 million a day and the money goes toward the 1 percent. It’s a tangible movement — each day you shut down something, it delays things.” The Occupy movements are being driven largely by young Americans at a time when the unemployment rate among youths under 25 is 18 percent compared to the national rate of 9 percent. In a recent MTV survey of young adults (ages 18 to 29), 72 percent said they were afraid they might not live up to their potential, while nearly three-quarters of people agreed with the statement, “things are unfair for my generation because we have to start our careers during this economic crisis.” MTV’s special “True Life” episode follows a few supporters who fit that description, including Bryan, a high school grad from Massachusetts who doesn’t see the long-term benefit of attending college when there are few jobs to had post-graduation. When viewers meet him, he’s working to get Zuccotti Park clean after word comes down that the private park’s owners want to temporarily evict the protestors in order to fix up the property themselves. Panic spreads as Occupiers fear the eviction will be permanent. College students Kait and Caitlin, who are so nervous about not being able to find a job that they’ve recruited friends into the rally, are also featured.
