#OccupyDallas, the United Steelworkers Local 9479, North Texas Jobs With Justice, Texas Alliance of Retired Americans, and all like minded labor unions and progressive organizations call for a MASS MARCH and DEMONSTRATION on November 19, 2011.
Working class individuals of Dallas-Fort Worth, and associated labor organizations will march in solidarity with ALL workers internationally, to highlight the ills of an economic and political system that continues to exploit and oppress the peoples for the profit of a select few individuals. The time to fight US Austerity is NOW!!!
WORKERS UNITE AGAINST CUTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, AND MEDICAID!!
In the United States, as in states all across the planet, we suffer under austerity measures that put forth a seemingly never ending attack on workers, their families, and the institutions that benefit all individuals in a positive manner. This attack comes at the hands of corrupt governments, a globally oppressive economic regime, and environmentally destructive policies, that will leave society in shambles if we fail to stand and unite together in the fight for social justice and economic equality.
Join the Workers and the People in a sign of strength and unity as we march for power; People Power.
Meet at Pioneer Plaza in Dallas, TX on November 19, 2011 @ 1pm. Be prepared to take to the streets, to let your voices be heard, and to demand that the government give in to the demands of those who will no longer allow it to rule in the interests of corporations and the elite.
We will have a march through downtown, stopping at Main St. Garden Park for speakers and Chants.
Bring water, signs, banners, bullhorns, and a strong will, and your friends and family!!

In DFW, Ben & Jerry's founders dish out support for Occupy protesters
HIGHLAND VILLAGE -- Ben Cohen, half of the idealistic entrepreneur team behind Ben & Jerry's Homemade, was supposed to start a busy Thursday in North Texas dispensing free scoops of ice cream to Occupy Dallas protesters.But Big D police cleared the City Hall park before a lick of Chunky Monkey could be handed out. Occupy Dallas then asked Cohen, through the local Ben & Jerry's franchisee, Hunter Rose, to bring ice cream to the more than 50 demonstrators at Lew Sterrett Justice Center. But arranging permission to drop off the desserts, let alone scoop out single portions inside the Dallas County Jail, was insurmountable at short notice, Rose said.
Cohen's partner, Jerry Greenfield, says he too supports the Occupy movement, though he is not as active as Cohen. Both are 60.

Occupy Dallas Members Evicted, But Still Here
Dallas Police Chief David Brown says fears of escalating violence among Occupy Dallas members was the tipping point. He was also concerned about dirty, unsanitary camp conditions, complete with human waste. A city ordinance prohibits sleeping on public property from midnight to 5:00 a.m.
He says that's why city Manager Mary Suhm gave him the go ahead to tear the camp down early Thursday morning. Hundreds of Dallas Police Officers showed up with SUVs, horses, squad cars, and more.
