Selon la déclaration de la réunion sur la place Bolotnaya du 10 décembre 2011, nous exigeons : Occupy the Ports. Broadcast Yourself. Occupy Houston holds protest at Houston port, 19 arrested. Police arrested at least 19 Occupy Houston protesters Monday afternoon as the demonstrators gathered just outside the Houston Port in a coordinated action with other Occupy demonstrations targeting the nation’s ports.
The anti-Wall Street protesters attempted to shut down ports along the U.S. West Coast Monday, saying that if they cut off some of the country’s busiest hubs, it would cut into corporate profits, the Associated Press reported. Some ports reported disruptions, but most said business continued. About 60 police officers are monitoring the Houston Port demonstration, which began at 1 p.m. At about 1:45 two groups of protesters — one numbering six and the other 12 — squatted on the street, stopping traffic into a two-lane road that leads to the port entrance. Authorities set up a barricade around the two groups, putting a large red tent over them.
An Open Letter from America’s Port Truck Drivers on Occupy the Ports. We are the front-line workers who haul container rigs full of imported and exported goods to and from the docks and warehouses every day.
We have been elected by committees of our co-workers at the Ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland, Seattle, Tacoma, New York and New Jersey to tell our collective story. We have accepted the honor to speak up for our brothers and sisters about our working conditions despite the risk of retaliation we face. One of us is a mother, the rest of us fathers. Between the five of us we have 11children and one more baby on the way. We have a combined 46 years of experience driving cargo from our shores for America’s stores. We are inspired that a non-violent democratic movement that insists on basic economic fairness is capturing the hearts and minds of so many working people. Today’s demonstrations will impact us. We love being behind the wheel. There is so much at stake in our industry. We desperately want to drive clean and safe vehicles.

Naomi O'Leary: Parisian shoppers pause to... Anti-Putin movement marks end of an era. Russia’s street protest movement, which has shaken not only the Kremlin’s autocrats but global financial markets, is the largest for two decades, and is the end of an era.
The pro-capitalist triumphalism of the early 1990s has turned into disenchantment, not just with the sham democracy which voters experienced earlier this month, but with the corruption of a mafia-style capitalism. The demands for a fair election are part of a much bigger movement of discontent which is sweeping Russia under conditions of the global economic crisis.
