Occupy Norwich

Posted on | December 24, 2011 | No Comments

October 15, 2011 7:00 amtoMarch 31, 2012 7:00 pm

We are the 99% of Norwich, Norfolk, United Kingdom.

Occupy Norwich is inspired by Occupy Wall Street which in turn was inspired by the peaceful occupation of Tahrir square in Egypt. A leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders, abilities and political persuasions. The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%.

The US action has inspired similar peaceful actions in the UK and around the world.

Please note this is a peaceful as opposed to illegal military occupation !

We are totally supportive of other Occupy initiatives, and feel there is value in responses on a regional level too, not everyone can get to London (Occupy the London Stock Exchange), not everyone can drop everything and leave, not everyone can afford to travel far etc etc. So that’s why we started this non-violent protest in Norwich    Please visit:   website: http://www.occupynorwich.co.uk

“I’m Okay, You’re not Okay: Neocolonialism and US/UK Foreign Policy today.”

1:00 pmto2:00 pm

Friday 20th January 2012 at 1pm in the Friends Meeting House in Upper Goat Lane, Norwich.

This is the start of UNA’s “LunchBox” talks for 2012 and we have a great topic to start us off.

Dr Lee Marsden (from UEA’s School of Political, Social and International Studies) will be giving a talk entitled: “I’m Okay, You’re not Okay: Neocolonialism and US/UK Foreign Policy today.”

This should be particularly interesting in view of President Obama’s recent announcement that the US would henceforth be concentrating more on the Pacific rather than on their old allies in Europe – and what effect this will have on Europe. Read more
