Anyone with eyes open knows that the gangsterism of Wall Street — financial institutions generally — has caused severe damage to the people of the United States (and the world). And should also know that it has been doing so increasingly for over 30 years, as their power in the economy has radically increased, and with it their political power. That has set in motion a vicious cycle that has concentrated immense wealth, and with it political power, in a tiny sector of the population, a fraction of 1%, while the rest increasingly become what is sometimes called “a precariat” — seeking to survive in a precarious existence. They also carry out these ugly activities with almost complete impunity — not only too big to fail, but also “too big to jail.”
The courageous and honorable protests underway in Wall Street should serve to bring this calamity to public attention, and to lead to dedicated efforts to overcome it and set the society on a more healthy course.

The inherent nature of a movement like this does not strictly allow organizers such as myself much flexibility in the manifestation of a schedule. The first three days are what will dictate the scheduling for the rest of this event. That being said it is crucial that within these first three days we are using these scheduled slots for General Assembly to put together the most intellectual individuals to construct our future as OccupyToronto. We will not march until the TSX is open and in business on Monday, which gives us the weekend to have the group on slow boil while we determine the best course of action. Laptops and Cameras are essential to the indepedent coverage of OccupyToronto. We also need: PO BOX Power Bars + Extension Cables / Generator Blankets + Pillows Dried Goods / Water Source Saturday, October 15th, 2011 10am Begin the occupation Noon Welcome our first flood. 12:30PM - 3:30PM General Assembly 3:45PM - 6:15PM Internet Promotion of Event / General Assembly 6:30PM - 9:30PM General Assembly 9:45PM - Midnight Internet Promotion of Event / General Assembly Sunday, October 16th, 2011 9am Good Morning Occupy Toronto! 12:30PM - 3:30PM General Assembly 3:45PM - 6:15PM Internet Promotion of Event / General Assembly 6:30PM - 9:30PM General Assembly 9:45PM - Midnight Internet Promotion of Event / General Assembly Monday.
