Hey Chicago!

Remember: Solidarity means attack!

April 16th:

Rally and march in Greenwich Village around New School campus. 5th avenue blocked, chants of "From New York to Greece, fuck the Police!" and "Occupy...EVERYTHING!"

April 11th:

Today, the anarchist book fair was held and a cat themed dance party called "CATastrophe" was announced in Union Square. Participants were told to show up in their best cat costumes, which many did. The cat party exited the subway system at First Avenue where they began smashing storefront windows, spraypainting anarchist slogans on walls and throwing trashcans into the street.

The procession moved in unpredictable patterns around midtown Manhattan for about two hours, encountering sporadic skirmishes with waiting police. Property damage was met with pepper spray and physical assault, and eventually the party moved back to Union Square where it fizzled out. Photos are below with cat party graphic censors because I am not a snitch. Whose streets? Well it's unclear, but things certainly do look good for the children of Guy Debord and Raoul Vaneigem.

April 10th:

New School students occupy their university, forcefully removed and arrested by NYPD (with pepper-spray). A large group gathered at Union Square and held a rally there, with a number of students talking and speaking about issues at the New School and in New York City. After holding the rally the group spontaneously marched and took to the streets, taking over parts of 14th St, 6th Ave, 11th and 12th St, and 5th Ave. During the march traffic was stopped and disrupted, the group rallied in front of Bob Kerrey's house, demanding his resignation, and then marched back to Union Sq. Several people were arrested by the NYPD, and at least one instance of police violence was documented when an officer assaulted a reporter filming the event.
