Occupy Rosh Hashanah - September 2012 - The Occupied New York Times
Occupied
Occupy Rosh HaShanah!
Suggestions for "My legs are praying" (Heschel)
Rosh HaShanah calls for tshuvah (turning our lives in the direction of loving-kindness) and tikkun (healing what is broken) for our whole society, as well as individuals.
To embody that commitment, on the first night of Rosh HaShanah in New York and on the first day of Rosh HaShanah in The San Francisco Bay Area, Jewish congregations and individuals will reaffirm the values of Judaism and of the Occupy movement with public actions to Occupy Rosh Hashanah.

These
actions will also celebrate the anniversary in the Western calendar of
the first day of the Occupy movement one year ago (Occupy Wall Street in
NYC).

In New York, Occupy Judaism and all who wish to join them will gather
at or near Zuccotti Park from 7:30 to 11 pm on Sunday, September 16.

In the Bay Area, Beyt Tikkun, Kehilla Community Synagogue, and The
Shalom Center will join as co-sponsors to call for personal and social
transformation in the way Americans do banking.
We will assemble at 4 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 17 at the Wells Fargo Bank
opposite the downtown central Berkeley BART station (on Shattuck Ave and
Center Street).
For this action in Berkeley, if you can, please bring signs calling for “MORTGAGE RELIEF,” ”FREEZE HOME EXPULSIONS,” and a call for people to remove their funds from Wells Fargo and Bank of America and other banks that have taken advantage of middle-income Americans and the poor; and instead to put their money into not-for-profit credit unions. Like this: ”BANK ON THE 99%: MOVE YOUR $$ TO A CREDIT UNION.”
Rabbis Michael Lerner, David Jonathan Cooper, Phyllis Berman,and Arthur Waskow will share leadership of Occupy Rosh HaShanah in Berkeley at Wells Fargo Bank.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS WORKSHOP September 9, 2012 hosted by the Shawn Greenwood Working Group
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS WORKSHOP
The Shawn Greenwood Working Group is holding a KNOW YOUR RIGHTS workshop on Sunday, September 9th, 2012 at 5 pm at the A.M.E. Zion Church, 116 Cleveland Avenue in Ithaca, NY to educate people about their rights when they interact with the police.
We aim to create spaces that address these concerns in our community. We believe the issues in our communities will not be solved by increasing police presence, but rather through larger transformation.
KNOW YOUR
RIGHTS!
What are your rights if police stop you while driving or walking? What are your rights if police come to your home? How can you best protect yourself in interactions with the police?
For more information, contact the SCWG by calling 607-301-0370 or email SGWIthaca@gmail.com.
Occupy Ithaca receives Mother Jones award -- Labor Day, 2012 -- The Occupied New York Times

The Shawn Greenwood Working Group is connected with Occupy Ithaca. It was formed in the wake of the fatal shooting by a police officer of a young black man here in Ithaca. At the Labor Day Rally yesterday, the Shawn Greenwood Working Group announced that they are hosting a KNOW YOUR RIGHTS workshop on Sunday, September 9th, 2012 at 5 pm at the A.M.E. Zion Church, 116 Cleveland Avenue in Ithaca, NY to educate people about their rights when they interact with the police. For more information, contact the SCWG by calling 607-301-0370 or email SGWIthaca@gmail.com.
According to their flyer, their aim is to create spaces that address these concerns in our community. They believe the issues in our communities will not be solved by increasing police presence, but rather through larger transformation. Their flyer says: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! What are your rights if police stop you while driving or walking? What are your rights if police come to your home? How can you best protect yourself in interactions with the police?
When Occupy Ithaca received the Mother Jones award, I was on the stage with them and I made a statement in solidarity with the Shawn Greenwood Working Group on behalf of Occupy Psychiatry in being concerned about police brutality.
Our very liberal US Congressman, Maurice Hinchey (who is just retiring from Congress after serving for many many years due to health issues) also received a Special Distinguished Service Award and was present to receive it. It was a very moving moment!
That's my news from Ithaca today ...

Occupy Ithaca received the Mother Jones Award yesterday at the Labor Day Rally that was hosted by the Tompkins County Workers Center. Joy Hines accepted the award on behalf of the group. Other members of Occupy Ithaca spoke as well, but I'm sorry, I don't know many of their names so can't include all their names here.
