A broad coalition of resistance, including Restore the Fourth, will be gathering in cities across the US to oppose the global surveillance apparatus. In NYC, we're meeting at 3:00pm in Bryant Park to march on locations that have aided the surveillance state. Some of us will be clad in gear inspired by George Orwell's 1984. From the NSA to the NYPD, the 99% are monitored by a system designed to target anyone perceived as a threat to the 1%. Because occupiers know first hand how surveillance functions to quash dissent, we are calling on Occupy Wall Street to join us in solidarity. crucial info: Restore the Fourth NYC Facebook Rally/March Event: www.facebook.com/events/508963… Restore the Fourth Facebook Rally/March Event: www.facebook.com/events/585565… 1984 Day Website (for further information about other local events): www.1984day.com/ We’re trying to stop the UN from regulating the Internet, Ambassador Kramer says www.foxnews.com/tech/2012/12/0… MUST READ!!!
