A Call to Action: Nationally Coordinated, Local Mass Actions Against Foreclosures,Oct. 24-27


OCTOBER 24-27: BAIL OUT THE PEOPLE, NOT THE BANKERS!

A CALL TO ACTION
Nationally Coordinated, Local Mass Actions

The stock markets are crashing, the world economy is headed into a deep
recession or even depression, and the U.S. government and its top
bankers, along with their counterparts around the world, are giving
what’s going to amount to trillions of dollars to bailout the richest 1
percent of the people WHILE DOING NOTHING TO RESCUE ORDINARY WORKING AND
POOR PEOPLE!

We must stand up and say no to this injustice! NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT.

With that in mind, we are calling for Nationally Coordinated Local Days
of Action on the weekend of October 24-27.

* During October 24-27, organize marches and demonstrations in front of

IT’S TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO DECLARE AN ECONOMIC STATE OF EMERGENCY
AND GIVE DIRECT HELP TO THE PEOPLE--NOT THE BANKS

The following are some of the growing list of emergency measures that
people across the country will be raising at protests during the Days of
Action:
--Emergency moratorium on home foreclosures and evictions
--No budget cuts in education, healthcare and all social services
--No layoffs, extend unemployment benefits
--No utility shut-offs
--Debt relief for students, poor and working people
--Protect public and private pensions
--Jobs at a living wage

We are asking for grassroots, community and youth organizations, trade
unionists, anti-racist forces, the anti-war movement and everyone who's
just mad as hell about the "bailout" to both endorse this call, and take
ownership of it. Plan actions during this period of time in your cities
across the country.
