Hello all! Just want to post some quick notes/updates and I’ll be outta here.

Occupy the Stage  wants everyone to know that due to unforeseen circumstances, not all original artists will be performing at tonight’s OTS show. The line-up, thus far, consists of The Willow Family Band and The Reverend Spooky Le Strange! If anyone is interested in in playing at this show tonight, please feel free to contact Justin.

Occupy NOLA hosted  “The People’s Foreclosure On Chase Bank” today.  It was a great success, especially considering the inclement weather we’ve been having. About 20 people attended, and a woman chained herself to a railing next to the ATM!

The Occupy Caravan will be arriving soon as well! They will be in New Orleans from the 19th to the 21st. Please feel free to check out information on their website. This could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

On Saturday June 9th Occupy NOLA will be holding a People’s Foreclosure on Chase Bank.


WHAT: People’s Foreclosure on Chase Bank. In solidarity with families across the U.S. resisting foreclosures and evictions, Occupy NOLA is calling on JPMorgan Chase Bank to cease and desist from foreclosing on homes in Louisiana for the duration of the present economic crisis. A spotlight has shone on the nefarious deeds of Chase and other big banks since the birth of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Throwing millions of working families out of their homes is class warfare against the 99%. Bring signs, banners, folding chairs, and barbeque grills to visually demonstrate the ways in which the banks are exploiting our system and profiting from human need.

WHERE: 2200 St. Charles Avenue, New Orleans, LA. This branch of Chase Bank is open until 1pm on Saturdays.

WHEN: Saturday, June 9, 2012 at 11:30am

During the first quarter of 2012, 4,552 Louisiana properties were targeted by foreclosure-related notices.  These ranged from an initial notice of default to repossession by a lender.  The lion’s share of these foreclosures were properties being seized from the 99% as result of the economic crisis imposed on them by the investment practices of the 1%.

So come, carry your signs, bring chants, banners, balloons, and most importantly yourself, your friends and family, and anyone you know who is or may be facing a foreclosure.

For more information contact OccupyNOLA (occupynola@yahoo.com) or Mike Howells (howellnow@bellsouth.net).

This action will be discussed at the next General Assembly of Occupy NOLA on Tuesday, June 5 at 7 pm at 2735 C Toulouse Street (just off of N. Broad Street in Mid-City). All are invited to attend.
