Event Description

A peaceful revolution is occurring
People are uniting around the world
The Occupy Movement is growing.

On Oct 28th 2011 - We send a powerful message:
WE SHUT THE SYSTEM DOWN.

For one day we peacefully protest in a symbol that will be felt across the globe.

We step out of the economic system and we spend a day to step back into ourselves.

Some Guidelines

1) A 24 hour television blackout where all participants willfully keep their tubes turned off. If enough people participate, this could cost corporations millions in lost revenue.

2) A 24 hour retail boycott where all participants agree to refrain from buying any merchandise not directly associated with basic needs, such as food and medicine.

3) A 24 hour employment walkout where participants refuse to attend work, with the exception of emergency services.

4) It has been suggested and bears repeating, all bank accounts that are not absolutely necessary should be closed. If you must retain a bank account, switch to a credit union or smaller locally owned bank.

Others have suggested - turning off all lights, unplug all the plugs or shut off power to your home even.
Don't use your TV, radio, internet or even the phone.
Don't buy -anything- and if there are services you've been thinking about cancelling. Today's a good day to do it.
Call in sick to work.

Basically do your best to do NOTHING that generates money into THE SYSTEM.

Send a message & unite!

Most importantly, for one day, give yourself the gift of inner reflection, without distraction. Take time to read a book or meditate. Play games or have conversations with loved ones. Work on a creative project, alone or as a family.

On Oct 28th 2011
Step out of the system and get back to yourself. Turn off the economic powers and empower yourself!

Spread the word!
SHUT IT ALL DOWN!

*Note, if for whatever reason, you decide you do not wish to participate in this fully. Do your best to do what you can do. The less you put into the system tomorrow the better. Participating half way is still better than not participating at all!

Comment by bob reynolds on October 27, 2011 at 2:11pm: i just noticed it's on oct. 28. (tomorrow). is it at one place, or do it, no matter where you are (as i'm expecting).

i did give my word i'd take my niece for her big college test tomorrow, so i will have to drive (1.5 hours there, 1.5 hours back). it's important to her. other than that, i comply with everything asked. if any sign of progress shows up, maybe next time, shoot for 3, 4, 7 days. that should "rock their world". do it soon after, and they wont know what's hitting them.

elizabeth, you know they are gonna blame YOU! claim you're a political prisoner. (which you will be). might see a red falg with your pic on it like the one of Che. i always loved that. it's in a tallahassee cop shop still, i bet.

Comment by bob reynolds on October 27, 2011 at 1:13pm: just give me a date. (i mean a day/month. not a girl. haha) (on second thought, throw in the girl).

it sounds like a good time for a bunch of us to go to the woods, set up tents, have a bon fire, and forget the outside world for a minute.

Comment by 1fq0fed8hbtd4 on October 27, 2011 at 10:56am: @Kathy I mean the freezer might start to defrost, and then leak.

Comment by elizabeth marie on October 27, 2011 at 10:05am: NY and NJ is down

Comment by 1fq0fed8hbtd4 on October 27, 2011 at 9:58am: @Kathy Lou Parks Careful you don't end up creating more hassle for yourself than the banks switching off freezers! :)

Comment by elizabeth marie on October 27, 2011 at 9:56am: 300 more in tampa has join in

Comment by 300vp2tekdvfa on October 27, 2011 at 9:37am: shut it down hell yea i'm in

Comment by 1fq0fed8hbtd4 on October 27, 2011 at 9:30am: Great advice re banks.

The rest sounds reasonable but longer term approaches must be tried as well. :)

Divest completely from coca-cola, grow veg/chickens, learn about and try out crypto currency like bitcoin. If you can buy precious metals and hold your wealth there.

I'm not sure if switching off the internet is productive tbh...

Comment by 0ysd3onr3zm1z on October 27, 2011 at 9:24am: I will only need heat-- 8 degrees this morning!

All else is ready to go.
