~ Day of demo instructions ~

Our international day of action has arrived.
This is the day that the wealthiest corporations are finally forced to listen to the people they've been bankrupting for a generation.
Here are 5 things every US Uncut demonstration should do for a successful protest.
1. ARRIVE EARLY. Get to your meeting place at least a half-hour before your protest is scheduled.
2. REHEARSE YOUR CREATIVE DEMONSTRATION. Creativity in your protests is paramount. Any unique presentations, visuals, skits and other forms of political theatre should be rehearsed prior to performance.
3. DESIGNATE SPEAKERS TO TALK TO REPORTERS AND POLICE. Have someone ready to take questions from the press and to be diplomatic when police show up to break up your protest.
4. EXECUTE YOUR ACTION. Creativity and nonviolence are emphasized. Stay on message. Corporations dodging their tax duties are the direct cause for draconian budget cuts that the rest of us have to suffer.
5. REPORT BACK. Those of you who took the responsibility of logging your actions on the US Uncut action map must also be responsible for the feedback form after your action. Remember- pictures and/or video, or it didn't happen!
I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but I'm absolutely blown away by the efforts of organizers from across the nation over the last two weeks. Let's do this. Let's be loud. Let's be heard. And let's keep working together and speaking out in public, as one, as much as we can until America's corporate tax dodgers start playing by the same rules as the rest of us.
Solidarity,
