DESCRIPTION:Throughout the world, regular, ordinary people are rebelling against the 
 entrenched power of the economic elites and their political henchmen who 
 control our lives. Most recently, people in Turkey and Brazil have stood up 
 and shouted, "We're mad as hell and won't take it anymore!" \n\nMeanwhile, 
 here in the United States, our rights are being eroded and trampled upon. 
 Our own government spies on us, reading our e-mails and monitoring our 
 phone calls. Government officials seem more interested in punishing 
 whistleblowers than in returning our rights to us. Access to public spaces, 
 even for purposes protected by the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, 
 is limited more and more by local lawmakers.\n\nIt doesn't matter whether 
 the government is led by reactionary Islamists in Turkey, secular social 
 democrats in Brazil, or conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats in 
 the U.S.  The systems they rule over are the same, and serve only the 
 interests of the 1%. \n\nThe crumbs that we the people receive can be 
 snatched away whenever the going gets tough. When we protest against the 
 banksters and their cronies and the attacks on our living standards that 
 follow, we are met with the force of the Police State. Now we have learned, 
 by the heroic disclosures of NSA consultant Edward Snowden, that our every 
 word and tweet can and will be used against us if we dare to struggle for a 
 fair and just society.\n\nJoin us at 7:30 pm Saturday, July 6th at the 
 Santa Cruz clock tower for a rally in solidarity with the brave men and 
 women around the world who are standing up to these abuses. Protesters in 
 Turkey and Brazil have faced down tear gas, water cannon and rubber bullets 
  simply for trying to assemble. U.S. patriots such as Edward Snowden face 
 jail time and possibly torture if captured, while political activists are 
 spied on and monitored merely for criticizing the U.S. government, 
 banksters and multinational corporations.\n\nAt dusk, we will hold a 
 candlelight vigil for our own rights, as well as the rights of the Turkish 
 and Brazilian protesters that have been violated.\n\nSpeak up now while 
 it's still legal!\n
