Developing Actions listed in this section of InterOccupy.org are ones that are pertinent to the larger Occupy movement. These are “suggested” and “developing” actions that are for consideration by GAs everywhere. Once we have confirmed that a critical mass of GAs will be participating in an action, then we will move it to our Occupy Actions section.

Once we receive your developing action, there will be a 24 hour period in which we will make your action known to all the Committees of Correspondence. If there are any concerns in that period, they will be brought to your attention. If all concerns are addressed, we will then post your announcement.

New Locations to Assemble:
I wanted to make a National suggestion for Action. #Occupy Libraries. I could go to my local library and take a book off the shelf and sign up for a room, which should be done in advanced at the media desk and set up a meetup event and other social media for it. Penny savers allow for free advertisement and other ads at local grocery stores et.. can be done. If a person has a library card they can sign up for one of the conference rooms free of charge and either use a book, could even be something about the constitution and have a discussion about the book. The point is to be able to meet locally, small, and safe. Many more of our 99 brothers and sisters are scared to involve themselves or their families by going to the “occupy” locations. The general assemblies have generally been at the occupy sites, but since so many have been illegally removed; then it is time to rethink locations. Locations must be public and have plenty of parking. City codes about setting up tables should be researched, however, the general assemblies must take place and be done at a location that is away from the spotlight to allow more people to join the movement.
School Auditoriums: I have seen multiple schools that have church services in the auditorium on Sundays. I am not sure if they pay for that or what, but this is something to consider. I will research this more, but this is a great location for larger general assemblies.
Post Offices: I know there are many that will more than likely close across the county and need to be used for meetings.
Local Associations: Meeting halls across the country are not being used and we can use these locations for meetings.
Livestream/Ustream/Video and Social Media will cover all working groups, teach-ins, and general assemblies for individuals that can not make a specific meeting or for those still nervous about committing publicly to the cause that is calling them from within their lives.

OCCUPY HOMES!
It is not just the big banks taking citizens’ property, but even the government. Indiana real estate tax processes are designed by and for the 1% and are in need of immediate attention, correction, and modification. The state of Indiana utilizes their real estate tax laws as a means to transfer MORE wealth to the 1% immorally, inequitably, and probably illegally. This contention is made from personal experience.
Jefferson County Indiana over-assessed by property and claimed an excessive amount of tax. I confronted the county Assessor, Auditor and Treasurer about the problem, and we began negotiations to rectify and correct the matter. In the middle of our efforts and meetings, the Auditor’s assurances notwithstanding, my property was surprisingly sold at tax sale unilaterally without proper warning. Although the assessed values had been somewhat reduced (but not fully corrected) the claim and demand of amount owed was NOT adjusted and no corrected tax notice was ever sent – Jefferson County Indiana was attempting to extort excessive, erroneous amounts from me in clear violation of law and Constitutional protections thus making their demands illegal.
In an effort to avoid problems for my family, I cashed in an insurance policy I owned and attempted to pay the Auditor’s erroneous demand, intending to straighten the matter out later (but knowing from experience that once they got their hands on money they never reimburse overpayments.) However, when I hand carried the erroneous amounts they demanded – now increased with additional “fees” and 15% interest on the original erroneous demand, etc. – my tendered payments were refused by Jefferson County Auditor and Treasurer and they took the position that the “period of redemption” had expired the day before. The Auditor then had the Jefferson Circuit Court issue a tax deed to the alleged purchaser. I read the notice of filing of such deed in the local newspaper, but was never notified by any government official. Upon seeing this notice, I personally went to the Auditor’s office to demand the $4,550.00 the alleged purchaser had bid/paid at the tax sale above the Auditor’s erroneous amount, but was refused. The County Attorney eventually was summoned and stated that they would not remit the funds to me because the Judge had rescinded the order to issue deed; but I have not found where such order has been recorded and, to my knowledge, the Recorder’s office currently shows that my property is now in the name of the alleged purchaser.
THESE ACTIONS ARE WRONG!! This nation was founded upon the self-evident truth that ALL are created equal. In practice, however, it is obvious the “1%” are MORE equal than us regular citizens, and that must change.
I purchased my home from my father in the 1980′s – he had it built in 1972 and no other family has owned it until now. My father passed away in the home, and I suppose I can too. Some of my forefathers died defending their homesteads from invaders two hundred years ago; it appears I, too, must now do the same. There appears to be no defenders to stand beside me on the principle of equity that Indiana violates, but I have no choice but to stand alone against this immoral injustice that Indiana seems to revel in (this is the state that has taken the position that putting someone to death is reformative – see Indiana Constitution, Art I Sec. 17 vis-a-vis execution practices, e.g.) What is the old saying about the only thing necessary for evil to triumph? Sad state of affairs; I would say insane.
But the larger point is that I am one of the “99%” so how many other regular citizens are having their assets transfered to the wealthy by, not only Indiana, but all facets of our government? OWS MUST SUCCEED, and if I am to be one of many martyred to that end, so be it. It must be done for our progeny if our nation is to have any future.
Yes, big banks, big oil, large corporations, hedge fund managers, and the wealthy make up a large part of the “1%”, but it seems our government is a part of it also, at lease many of our public officials. This must change!
