'''OCCUPY CAPE ANN '''

We are a group of Cape Ann citizens who stand in witness of the economic struggles and insecurities of the 99% on Cape Ann, in our American Republic and around the World. We engage in local outreach and education, support local issues of concern, and promote the idea of community support for local businesses and institutions.

We, as an Occupy General Assembly, are part of the national Occupy movement. We support national Occupy issues such as fair elections, equality and freedom of opportunity and respect for all people. We welcome you to join us and put your views, ideas, skills, and energy to work in our Cape and in our Republic.

We meet in General Assembly Saturday mornings at 9:00 AM. We can keep you informed of our meetings by email at:  OccupyCapeAnn@gmail.com or from our Facebook page:  http://www.facebook.com/occupycapeann

Please “like” our facebook page, share our posts, and come to our meetings.

Some of our current initiatives include:

--petitioning local governments to oppose the Supreme Court Citizen United decision treating corporations as people and opening the floodgates for undisclosed corporate contributions. --supporting Gloucester’s working harbor against zoning changes that threaten its existence and supporting the Fort neighborhood against buy-outs that would expell the people of this historic neighborhood. --supporting homeowners caught in the collapse of the derivatives market. --supporting Addison Gilbert Hospital as a full-service hospital. --bringing our own and local government bank accounts back to local banks and local investments. "We are the 99%...Turning Occupy into Lasting Change. We are to0 big to fail"
