Occupy Baltimore is a group of people committed to restoring our human rights. We fight against the corporations, banks, legislation, and greed of the 1% that have created the huge economic divide that exists and seeks to crush us.

We are here to support the 99% -- anyone who wants to stand up and say "no" to the physical, emotional, and financial violence being perpetrated against us is welcome to join us. Everyone is invited to visit us and see what we are about. Your input is important. Your ideas are important. YOU are important.

We work to right wrongs on the local and national levels. Visit our workgroup website to see what is happening. Check out our Facebook and
OccupyyBaltimore Library
Look at our calendar http://occupybmore.org/events to see what actions are coming up. Visit us and you just might feel that you have come home.

Ain't no power like the power of people cuz the power of people don't stop.

May Day 2013

Submitted by DonnaSimone on Tue, 04/09/2013 - 8:16am

On May 1, we will join with millions of workers from every continent and country for a Mayday March in an expression of international solidarity.

Mayday is an international working class holiday. It is a day on which the international working class reviews it forces as it prepares to do battle with the capitalist class. For the last hundred years, the US bosses have tried to separate workers in this country from their brother and sisters around the world by celebrating Labor Day in September. The time has come to end this division.

No more Failed Development, We demand Fair Development

NO More FAILED DEVELOPMENT
We need Fair Development that produces…
-Good union jobs for Baltimore residents
-Well-funded schools for our children
-Strong communities for everyone

Maryland voters were told that legalizing gaming would bring good jobs to our communities, but Caesar’s Casino has yet to make good on this promise.

Time and again developers have benefited from public funds, subsidies, and tax incentives. But developers keep breaking the promise of building a better Baltimore.
