I will be in Pittsburgh the day of this action and will bring them some
Occupy Boston solidarity! Glad to see us mobilizing around this.

Pittsburgh request for solidarity
Hi folks...I am in the process of working on developing a 'tent delivery'
with tiny tent folks to the bank.....if anyone is interested in thinking
about it, developing the idea, participating with setting up tiny tent
encampment in the bank ..or another idea please email me..let's not put this
out on any other or general lists as it would be good for it to be a
surprise..I know many folks are going to NH this afternoon..my plans for
that are unclear at this point.

Hey Y'all,
Ridgely sent this out to me about a call to do an action on Tuesday, January
10th, 2011 in solidarity with Occupy Pittsburgh (OP). Here is an article
<http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11360/1199325-109.stm> she sent me
regarding BNY Mellon's practices and OP's efforts to evict that bank
(fuckin' cool if you ask me). In my view, this would be a particularly
poignant cause to support, as the park that OP is occupying is not owned by
the state or other organization, such as many of the Occupy's around the
country and world, but it's actually owned by the bank. I am a little busy
right now, so I can't take point on this, but if someone wanted to plan an
action I would fully support them.
IS,
BJ

Occupy Pittsburgh Calls for Solidarity
.

[View]
Occupy Pittsburgh is calling out to the 99% around the world for a Day of
International Solidarity and Action against BNY Mellon on January 10, our
first day in court. Help us tell the banks and the rest of the 1% that you
can't evict an idea whose time has come!
What: Rally and Picket to support Occupy Pittsburgh and stand up
for an economy that works for the 99% of us who aren't rich
When: Tuesday, January 10th starting at 3:30 pm
Where: City-County Building (414 Grant Street, Pittsburgh 15219)
Since the October 15 global day of action which launched many Occupy
efforts, we have rallied and occupied People's Park, a space formerly known
as Mellon Green. As far as we know, Pittsburgh's is the only Occupy
encampment to reclaim land from a bank.
BNY Mellon is now calling for Occupy Pittsburgh's eviction, allegedly, for
our own "safety." This is a blatant attempt by BNY Mellon to silence us, and
to prevent us from resisting the corruption by the 1% of our political and
economic systems. In response, we have announced our own eviction of BNY
Mellon from our city. BNY Mellon's fraudulent and exploitative practices
have denied its customers and its workers billions of dollars in wages and
benefits. We are fighting to redefine the ethics of our economy and to
resist corporate control of our cities, our spaces, our politics and our
lives.
On January 10, we also ask supporters to:
. Temporarily change their addresses on Facebook and other web sites
to #1 People's Park, Pittsburgh PA 15219;
. Send mail to BNY Mellon's Pittsburgh office (500 Grant Street,
Pittsburgh, PA 15258) with the return address of #1 People's Park,
Pittsburgh PA 15219;
. Hold non-violent demonstrations against BNY Mellon around the
world (the bank's headquarters is One Wall Street, New York City; and
offices are in Boston, London, Moscow, Sydney, Cairo and cities in every
hemisphere).
To BNY Mellon, we have one unified response: You can't evict an idea whose
time has come.
