SINCE THE OCCUPY WALL STREET PROTEST, LAST SEPTEMBER, "OCCUPY" AND "WE ARE THE 99%" HAVE BECOME RALLY CRIES FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE, FROM PARENTS DEMONSTRATING AGAINST AN ARBITRARY SCHOOL CLOSING TO FORECLOSED HOMEOWNERS DISRUPTING BUSINESS AT A BANK.
LAST SATURDAY, NEW YORK POLICE VIOLENTLY SUPPRESSED A RE-OCCUPATION OF ZUCOTTI PARK IN MANHATTAN AND, CULMINATING A WEEK OF DAILY PROTESTS, HUNDREDS OF YOUTHS MARCHED, YESTERDAY, FROM LIBERTY PLAZA TO UNION SQUARE DEMANDING THE RESIGNATION OF POLICE COMMISSIONER KELLY. DEPENDING ON THE REPORTS BETWEEN 6 AND 20 WERE ARRESTED, INCLUDING A 16-YEAR OLD GIRL.
IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS, OCCUPY WALL STREET HAS EVOLVED INTO AN INTERNATIONAL YOUTH MOVEMENT EMBRACING A WIDE RANGE OF SOCIAL AND POLITICAL CAUSES. TO BETTER UNDERSTAND SOME OF ITS CULTURAL UNDERCURRENTS, WBAI FRED NGUYEN WENT TO JIVAMUKTI CAFE NEAR UNION SQUARE ON FRIDAY TO HEAR A CALL-TO-ARMS BY AUTHOR MICKEY Z. HE FILES THIS REPORT:
