The General Assembly (GA) is the sovereign body of all Occupy Astoria LIC members. Here we discuss agenda, process, and decisions, as well as Occupy Strategy. In 2011 the spirit of protest swept from Tahrir and Athens to Wisconsin to Occupy Wall Street to hundreds of occupations in cities across the United States. Then came the national crackdown of November 2011. The centers of occupation were forcibly evicted. Ever since, hundreds of issue-based and locality-based Occupy groups have sprung up. What is next? What would you like to see? How do we in LIC fit in?

Please post current news stories for the Occupy Astoria LIC Newswire. Long as it's NEWS, it's fair game: International and USA, Long Island City, Greater Astoria and Queens, local development and the political machine, Wall Street, New York City, neighborhood stories, economy and finance, etc.

Constitutional Rights working group participates int he campaign to repeal the 2011 National Defense Authorization Act provisions that suspend habeas corpus and allow indefinite detention. (Nowadays, that's only one of the most egregious of many tramplings of the Constitution.)
