Oakland General Strike: “Don’t You Dare Steal Our Future” Family Bike/Stroller Brigades

[http://www.movementgeneration.org/oakland-general-strike-dont-you-dare-steal-our-future-family-bikestroller-brigades]:

NOVEMBER 2nd – During the Oakland General Strike
 12pm and 3pm
 Meet up at the Oakland Main Library (14th ST & Madison)

Parents and families of the Oakland area are excited to demonstrate their solidarity with the growing movement of the 99% and are working to create real change for our children’s futures.

Parents, Children, Teachers, and Librarians Unite!

It’s critical to have a diverse group of working families and children at the center of this movement. Lets Bike, Stroll, and Roll to Occupy.
 …
 In order to include as many children and families as possible, we’re going to have two chances for folks to gather and both will be at the Oakland Public Library Main Branch.

FIRST CONVERGENCE
12:00 Noon – Gather at Oakland Public Library Main Branch (14th and Madison)
12:30 PM – Bike, March, Stroll and Roll down to join the rest of the 99% at Children’s Village at Oscar Grant Plaza/Frank Ogawa Plaza.

The People’s Grocery, Farm to Table, Food First and others will be working on coordinating lunch for approximately 700 people at Occupy Oakland from 11 to 2pm. The lunch will consist of spinach salad with black beans and feta, ciabatta and fruit.

Children’s music performed Rock’n Kids Sing Along.

SECOND CONVERGENCE
3:00 PM – Gather at Oakland Public Library Main Branch (14th and Madison) Stories, Art and Organizing for Occupy Oakland (Teachers, Parents, Librarians unite)

There will be sidewalk chalk, stenciling “share” t shirts and have a “mamas mic” – basically a peoples’ mic led by women on what we want for our kids future.

4:30PM – Bike, March, Stroll and Roll down to join the rest of the 99% at Children’s Village at Oscar Grant Plaza/Frank Ogawa Plaza.

Lets all join our children in telling the 1% “Don’t You Dare Steal My Future”

See you in the streets Wednesday.
