At 7 a.m. tomorrow, New York Mayor Bloomberg plans to effectively evict theOccupy Wall Street protesters.
Mayor Bloomberg is ordering Occupy Wall Street protesters out of Zuccotti Park for a cleanup at sunrise, and his new rules for their return would effectively shut down the occupation.
Will you consider coming out to Zuccotti Park to support the protests?
Since the protests are a truly organic movement, and aren’t organized by the AFL-CIO, we can’t tell you exactly what will be happening. But what we can tell you is this: the more people who can stand in solidarity at this critical moment, the better.
As I write this message, Occupy Wall Street is asking people to show up at midnight. But whether you are reading this message before or after midnight, I encourage you to get the latest details here:

Thank you for coming out to stand with the 99 percent.
In Solidarity,
Manny Herrmann
Online Mobilization Coordinator, AFL-CIO

The Bail Out the People Movement's own statement:
Billionaire Bloomberg has announced that tomorrow he wants to
“clean” Zucotti Park, the site of Occupy Wall Street.
Interesting how when the righteous protest against banks gains massive
popularity, Bloomberg suddenly becomes concerned about health and safety.
Where was Bloomberg when New Yorkers needed him to “clean” the
city streets after an average winter snowstorm just before New Year’s
Eve?
What steps does he ever take against absentee slumlords, who allow their
building to fall into dangerous disrepair? Where was his concern when the MTA
laid off station agents and closed bus lines?
Obviously the people don’t trust this billionaire and his police
force one bit. The protesters at Occupy Wall Street have their own cleanup
crews and are quite capable – indeed, more capable than the mayor, who
puts profits before people – of taking care of their site.
It can’t go unmentioned that tomorrow at 1 PM, members of the Muslim
community have scheduled Jummah Prayer at Zucotti Park, along with providing
food for OWS members and anyone else who is hungry.
Anyone who comes out to defend the right of OWS against shutdown will also
be defending the right of Muslims to join this inspiring occupation. One only
need remember the recent revelations of the NYPD’s CIA-backed campaign of
spying and harassment of the Muslim community to know how important this
is.
TOMORROW, COME TO ZUCOTTI PARK STARTING AT 6 AM
IF YOU CAN’T COME THAT EARLY, COME WHEN YOU CAN
