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.

Occupy encampments continue across the country, including in Baltimore, where over the weekend Pan-African theorist Max Rameau gave a teach-in and addressed the General Assembly.

Mortville : The Queer Encampment at Occupy Baltimore

Mortville : The Queer Encampment at Occupy Baltimore
Source: 
Baltimore OUTloud
Quote: 
“Mortville is a nod to desperate living, where everyone must live in constant mortification because they’re so shamed by capitalism. It is also the queer camp. Because it is important to have a discourse about identity issues in places like this. It’s our “culture remix zone”. It’s our “identity remix zone”. It’s our “Queer Slumber Party”, in some ways a parody, and in other ways the anti-Tea Party.” -Michael
Commentary: 
A brief look at #occupybaltimore, what the protests signify, and - further from that, the article looks at Mortville, occupybaltimore 's queer camp - what it represents, how it organizes, and the important of its tactics for queering the movement. Pick up a paper copy and look at the Mortville photo spread!
