Occupy Sydney
Global Human Rights Day Festival
Martin Place, 2pm – 6pm
Saturday, 10 December 

Occupy Sydney invites individuals, families and inviting community groups to join us for a festival at Martin Place on 10 December – the Global Day of Action and Global Human Rights Day.

This family friendly festival will feature music, workshops, open mic, speakers and participation from a variety of community groups and associations in Sydney talking about global human rights and social justice issues.

The Festival will be held between 2pm and 6pm. The event is family friendly and all are welcome.

What has been so positive about Occupy Sydney is that it is an alternative space where diverse communities and individuals can come together to discuss ideas, issues and current struggles with the public in a public place.

The 10 December Festival will provide a positive opportunity for communities, families and individuals to connect with people in Sydney, and engage, discuss and share information about global injustice and human rights in a friendly, family orientated atmosphere.

Workshops from the Free School include:
Borders and Occupy
DIY renewable energy
A History of Radical Sydney
Community Renewable Energy
Discussion on Occupy Melbourne
Circus workshop

Please leave info in the comments, or use the forum post here for organisational discussion for the festival.

Occupy The Courts

On 15th October 2011, thousands of people from across Sydney converged
on Martin Place to challenge our current economic and political system
and to build a movement for meaningful democracy and social justice. And
we’re still here!
Since the occupation began police have arrested 59 people in attempts to
shut down the activities of Occupy Sydney. Many of these charges have
come about because of police persecution, harassment and the use of
force.
Come to court on Monday to show solidarity for 13 Occupy arrestees and
to support the ongoing occupation!
When: 9am this Monday 5th December
Where: Meet outside Downing Centre Court Complex,
Cnr of Elizabeth and Liverpool streets
Contact: Wenny 0402 564 862 / Josh 0408 885 622
Theme: Court Campout!
Bring your tents, barbeque tongs, folding
chairs etc. to show your support for
those facing ridiculous charges related
to alleged camping. Yep, that favourite
Australian pastime - and public
protest - is apparently a crime.
MONDAY, 5th DECEMBER, 9am
OCCUPY THE
COURTS!
We are unstoppable. Another world is possible!
