March on Weapons Manufacture Conference

NYC General Assembly # Occupy Wall Street:

On November the 30th and December 1st Aviation Week and Credit Suisse will be holding the 7th annual Aerospace & Defense Finance Conference in NYC. At the conference 30 of the industry’s top CEOs pitch 2012 and future business plans to Wall St. as wall as present forecasts, business development plans and investment and growth strategies. Speakers from the Department of Defense will also be there as the major client of this industry. This conference comes in a critical year for the industry since on one hand most government programs face massive budget cuts, while on the other the U.S. involvement in war and military operations is growing. Bankers and War Industry profiteers are hoping the Department of Defense will not experience the same austerity measures that public programs that benefit working and poor people have.

As a movement which stands for the 99%, we do not want this group of 1%ers to be able to gather and discuss strategies of how to best make money out the misery, death, and environmental destruction that comes from war. In the morning we will march around the building in an attempt to disrupt peoples entrance into the building and stop the conference from happening. In the afternoon we will have a rally against militarism which benefits the 1% at the expense of the 99%.
