At last night's General Assembly the members of Occupy Powell River voted unanimously to participate on May 1st in International Workers Day, with a demonstration and march starting at 3:30 PM in front of the Federal Government offices on Duncan Street.
A call has come, from OWS, from Occupy Canada, and from the people of the world. This call out is to stop working, stop school, stop shopping, stop driving, stop consuming from this corporate machine and take to the streets. OPR is answering the call to this worldwide day of protest in solidarity with the 99% and all those around the world demanding economic justice. JOIN US, stand up and take back our common resources, our common wealth and our futures.
