Come March with us on Saturday at 3pm!

Starting point is always the base of the Queen Victoria Statue at Square Victoria metro, also known as "La place du peuple".  You do not have to live in a tent to come march on Saturdays with Occupy Montreal. 

You can see some of the Egyptian group here.

Last Saturday wasn't a very big march, but we were joined by a group of Egyptians, who are protesting the military rule in Egypt. The Egyptians didn't get rid of Mubarak to put up with a totalitarian military regime.  Some of the chants included "al-shaab youreed esqat al nizam" in arabic, but also chants of solidarity between Quebec and Egypt. 

So I'm calling out to ALL Montrealers, be they Quebecois "de souche", or from Montreal's diverse English speaking community and have had it with the government or with the taxes, or with the way things are run, or you're an immigrant to Montreal and support the Arab spring back home, join us.  We'd like to see some Bahrainis, Syrians, Yemenis, Iranians, Iraqis, Lebanese [especially those who want a secular Lebanon!], Saudis, Jordanians, Palestinians, Moroccans, Algerians, Tunisians, Libyans and anyone else I might have missed in this list. 

Carrying the Six Nations flag.

I'll invite the people from the first nations to join us but as one aptly said to me, they have been occupying these lands for 10,000 years.  Very good point. Here's the thing though, the movement is inclusive which means you're always welcome to join if you feel you would like to. Things have to change when it comes to native rights. 

We'd like to see everyone fed up with the status quo and wants change.  Everyone who feels that the system isn't working. It isn't working for elderly, it's not working for the workers, and it's not working for the youth.  Come and take the streets with us. Bring your own sign, voice your opinion of what's wrong with our society!

We are all the 99%. Some might be thinking, why bother, a few of us out in the street aren't going to make a difference, well you'd be surprised. A lot of people didn't think their vote were going to make a difference and didn't vote, and well we got stuck with Harper, and "his" government.  

So you have a standing invitation to come March on Saturday's at 3PM. Bring your kids, bring your mother, bring your grandpa, bring your 'cousins',  bring your friends, bring your neighbours, heck, bring your dog, it's an all inclusive movement.
