Occupy
On the 17th of September, hundreds of people gathered in Wall Street, New York to protest against the corrupt financial system that has systematically taken over the US government and enslaved the people. This movement became known as Occupy Wall Street and has now begun to spread to hundreds of other locations around the US and the world, including here in Auckland. The video on the right explains in more detail what Occupy is about and how they organise and make decisions with direct democracy.

Occupy Auckland
15 October 2011 was the international day of action for the Occupy movement and United for Global Change events. We are the 99% and it's time for Auckland to join this growing movement.
OccupyAuckland started with a march from Britomart at 15:00 up to Aotea Square where our occupation began. We held our first general assembly at the occupation to start getting organised.
