OCCUPY
ARCHDIOCESE OF OKLAHOMA CITY! We are the
99%!
The Occupy Wall Street movement is a decentralized, leaderless
movement to bring public attention to bear on the serious problems
we face in this country. Inspired by the events in Tunisia and
Egypt, we aim to bring about an "American Autumn" to go with the
"Arab Spring". The purpose of the Occupy Archdiocese of Oklahoma
City group is to mobilize support among Catholics for the growing
Occupy movement, which is sympathetic to Catholic Social Teachings
on justice and peace and to raise the visibility of the Church's
social teachings among the clergy, laity, and religious of this
Archdiocese. For more information about affinity groups and
the Occupy movement, read Occupy!
Sign our letter to the Archbishop of Oklahoma City and the Bishops
of Tulsa and Little Rock Read the text.To add

Pray the Rosary for the social justice and peace intentions of the
Occupy! movement.
And tell others you are doing this. Make a sign "We pray the Rosary
for the Occupy Movement" and put it on your car or in your
yard or window.
Pray the Novena for the Occupy! movement.
We are presently working on a Novena to Oscar Romero, Dorothy Day,
and Peter Maurin, the saints to whom we entrust this work. "Watch
this space" for more information.
Occupy your parish!
Start an Occupy! group for your parish (or diocese, if you are
accessing this page from elsewhere).
Move your Money.
We also suggest that people move their money out of the big banks
and into credit unions. Many groups are targeting November 5th
as an action day to complete such transitions. Find more
information at Move Your
Money Project .
Support your Local Occupation.
If there is a local occupation going on in your downtown area,
support them. Donate food and supplies. Keep in touch with them.
Participate in marches as you are able.
Speak for yourself.
Each group speaks for itself and voluntarily affiliates/networks
with others.
Use tools.
Don't reinvent the wheel. Use existing tools linked here and
elsewhere and share your own. Send us your tools and we will tell
everyone else.
