Occupy Toronto – Occupy the Budget – 3 Day Occupation of City Hall!
The Deets:
Tuesday January 17, 2012, at 5:30 pm – Thursday January 19, 2012, at 8:30 pm
Toronto City Hall
Toronto, ON
The Call Out:
All out for a three day outdoor occupation of City Hall during the city budget meetings!
Bring your tent, stay the night! Show Rob Ford and his corporate backers that our city isn’t theirs to dismantle!
On January 17, 2011, Rob Ford and his cronies are going to try to pass a budget full of service cuts, attacks on workers and ordinary people as part of his austerity agenda.
Ford – a millionaire business owner himself – doesn’t care about ordinary people (neither 905 OR downtown,) he only cares about filling the pockets of his corporate buddies. Like other politicians around the world, he’s cutting services, firing workers, downloading costs to other people and telling people to “tighten their belts” while banks and corporations make record profits!
Occupy Toronto is drawing a line in the sand and saying no more! We are supporting Stop The Cuts / Toronto Labour Council and their 5:30 rally at City Hall, and we are sticking around for 3 days after to keep saying No More!
Join us!
Occupy the Budget! Occupy City Hall!
– For more info on Ford’s cuts, and on the Rally at City Hall at 5:30 on the 17th, check out Toronto Stop the Cuts.
– Even if you can’t stay overnight or have to work, your support during the day would be highly appreciated! Bring blankets and tents. Bring baked potatoes and hot chocolate. Bring a hot meal to the kitchen. Hang around for an hour or two serving food or helping with logistics. It all helps!
