Occupy Miami official planning & general assembly
The occupation begins October 15th, come be a part of this movement and help build a radical alternative to the austerity and misery we’re facing. This meeting will help decide the logistics and direction of the occupation, and this is the official meeting chosen by the general assembly last weekend. Occupy Miami was started by a number of newly-politicized youth from Miami-Dade, and they are flyering in the community to build up this movement. See you there.
