Tuesday, 8pm, General Assembly, Zuccotti Park, NYC.
On Tuesday night, just hours after the eviction and clearing of Zuccotti Park, 1500+ people re-entered for a general assembly to discuss and announce an action against the New York Stock Exchange on November 17. The call is for people of all walks of life to join them in solidarity at 7:00 am. They are asking everyone to make their own simple cardboard placard. One that clearly and succinctly conveys your personal reasons for joining with the 99% Movement. Those who are willing to sit in key entry points to the stock exchange are invited to do so. Those more comfortable with bearing witness from the sidewalks are also most welcome to join.
7am: Meet at Liberty Square/Zuccotti Park

The Panel for Education Policy (or PEP), enacts policy for the New York City Dept. of Education.
The PEP replaced the Board of Education when Mayor Bloomberg took control of the schools in 2002.
It is intended to be a democratic forum where people voice concerns, prior to the panel’s vote on educational policy.
Today the panel is convening to discuss new standards being implemented in schools.
200 parents, teachers staff and students are in attendance.
