OCCUPY DAME STREET RESPONDS TO INJUNCTION CONCERNS

Acting on credible information Occupy Dame Street issued a call last night to request support in the event of possible court action today. As of yet no legal action has been initiated. We have engaged legal council who will advise us going forward. We would like to thank everyone who supported us in person at the Four Courts, on Dame St., and online.

Occupy Dame Street is very concerned about the current worldwide clampdown on non-violent resistance movements from the clearing of Zuccotti Park, NYC and the pepper spraying of peaceful protesters in University of California at Davis, through to the brutal and horrific suppression of peaceful protesters at Tahrir Square in Egypt. Occupy Dame Street stands in solidarity with our sisters and brothers worldwide.

These are extraordinary times which call for extraordinary actions. We call on the people of Ireland to be vigilant regarding the suppression of the right to peacefully protest. Should legal action be brought against us, we assure the people that we are prepared. We ask you to be ready to mobilise in the event of any attempt to clear the camp.

      so does that mean that democrats in america are thinking of supporting the Occupy Movement?

      Do none of these politicians actually believe in anything? They will even support something that wants to see the demise of their power structure just to gain votes!!!!

      Ha ha, their own greed and blindness will their own destruction
