\"\"<\div>\n
We are having a conversation about trying to build back up to having an active presence in Liberty Plaza as a means to interact with and educate the public once again just how the shit got fucked up and bullshit - to try to rebuild a sense of community that has waned in the intervening months\, and to revitalize the resistance efforts more broadly by making them accessible to the public by having a consistent\, predictable presence. We may not be able to lock down an encampment at Liberty Plaza but we can certainly reclaim the use of the space as a public forum\, and have an awesome late-spring day in the park together in a way we haven't in a long time.\n\nOnline conversations kind of suck\, especially at identifying who the stakeholders in a conversation are. They certainly aren't \"consensus\,\" and a decision of the sort that this conversation is replicating would need to be an open and horizontal conversation. This seems like the kind of conversation that should be had by the people who would be the ones doing it\, without any pressures or expectations about what would come out of that conversation. Some people had some of this conversation already - reportback below. We want MORE people to have MORE of the conversation\, and wholeheartedly invite everyone to 100 William Street at 5pm on Wednesday\, May 25th to continue this discussion.\n\nOccupy here in NYC is a lot of different groups\, all of whom are stakeholders. Please help reach out to them and invite them to this conversation\, so everyone who is invested in this can have a place to come together in community and be heard. The more of us there are\, the greater the change we can bring together in this world!\n\nNOTE\: This Friday's meeting is scheduled for 6pm at Liberty Plaza. In case of rain\, we are setting the backup location as 100 William Street - the forecast anticipates rain but we're planning optimistically\, but also planning accordingly.<\div> LOCATION:Liberty Plaza\, URL:http://www.nycga.net/events/june-1st-reoccupation-discussion-2/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:4a34b712-ab8a-4d14-b2c0-d00e1d73feca DTSTART:20130525T180000Z DTEND:20130525T210000Z DTSTAMP:19700101T000000Z SUMMARY:March Against Monsanto DESCRIPTION:Greetings\, citizens of New York City. We are the voices of many\, and we are well beyond infuriated. Over the past months we have witnessed many atrocious acts committed by our very own government that accumulates in multitudes. Most recently\, while most of us were distracted by the Supreme Court case dealing with the Constitutionality of same-sex marriages within the state of California\, our ever so beloved leaders stealthily signed into law the Monsanto Protection Act\, or the Farmer Assurance Provision 2013. This bill states that the Secretary of Agriculture may grant temporary deregulation status so that genetically modified organism (GMO) farmers and growers may continue the cultivation of biotech crops that had previously been approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)\, even as legal challenges against the safety of those crops are underway\, and prevents courts from interceding the review process. What's even more hideous is the clear\, cold fact that lawmakers and lawyers from Monsanto collaborated in creating the provisions of this criminal act. Yes\, that is correct\; Sen. Roy Blunt\, Republican of Missouri\, worked in collusion with lawyers of Monsanto to create legislation that allowed the sale of GM products that were harmful to the country's citizens. Though it will only remain in effect for six months until the government finds another way to fund its operations\, the message it sends is that corporations can get around consumer safety protections if they get Congress on their side. Furthermore\, it sets a precedent that suggests that court challenges are a privilege\, not a right.\n\nThe people have spoken\, and the consensus is vibrating with outrage. Does your stomach churn at the mere mention of these sick-in-the-head individuals ruling our every moment? Then join us on May the 25th as we march through NYC and show Monsanto\, Congress\, the President\, and the World that We\, the people as a whole\, united as one\, have had enough. Stand beside your fellow brothers and sisters as we stand up against those who wish to do us harm so that they may rake in cash at the cost of our health\, lives\, and family.\n\nMISSION STATEMENT\:\nhttps\:\\www.facebook.com\notes\march-against-monsanto\mission-statement\579359972082527<\a>\n\nMEETING SPACE\:\nA\: CONFERENCE CALLS\: REGISTER NOW\: register now for the MAMNYC planning conference calls at\: http\:\\myaccount.maestroconference.com\conference\register\S5R27PV0PAZ75DFA<\a>\n\nB\: ON GROUND PLANNING MEETING\: coming soon \:)\n\nGOOGLE DOC\: https\:\\docs.google.com\document\d\1JMY-AYyladBMuOMMR3BhwZ30XKrt-RPZXzzDhoxiEWA\edit<\a>\n\nCOMMUNICATION TOOL\: To get further update to what is coming up next leading to MAMNYC.
