This Sunday, Occupy Town Square: Jackson Heights will wear red and make some noise in an effort to raise awareness of the growing education crisis here in the United States that makes access to education increasingly unfair.

We will gather with high spirits to declare that knowledge is OURS.

We will not sit in a classroom taking standardized tests while Corporate Amerika continues to raise the price of our education and alienate the masses.

Quality learning opportunities must be available for everyone seeking them. We are all students with the right to learn.

Tentative Schedule:

"Democracy and Debt"
Andrew Ross @ Washington Square Park

Saturday July 21, 3pm

Debt is the main reason why we live in a failed democracy, but how do we build alternatives? How should we follow up on Occupy's claim of "This is What Democracy Looks Like"?

Greetings Fellow Occupiers!

As the NEWEST Occupy in the city, we need your support, and on Monday July 16 7pm we will be having our next General Assembly which will be on the corner of E5th St and Church Ave, at the side of El Gavilan. In case of bad weather we'll meet a few doors up the block at 309 E5t. Now that we have identified the main issues we're campaigning on at the moment (Worker's rights/Golden Farm, public space, Windsor Terrace food desert) we're moving on to discuss how to build Occupy Kensington, by defining what it is and discussing to get the maximum number of people involved. We look forward to seeing you!
