Egypt: 529 People Sentenced to Death for Political Dissent
March 24, 2014
An Egyptian court handed down a death sentence to 529 people for political dissent stemming from protests in August that resulted in the killing of a single police officer. The group is among some 1,200 Egyptians currently on trial. The decision was made in record time after only two sessions in the trial that opened on Saturday. Another case opens on Tuesday where 683 defendants are facing similar charges.

Any day the U.S. Supreme Court could issue its ruling in the case McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission. In a nutshell, if the court rules badly in McCutcheon, it would pretty much do for individuals what Citizens United did for corporations. Specifically, those who can afford to do so could directly contribute up to $6 million per election cycle to a single party and its candidates.
Join us in a rapid response event as we hold a rally the same day as the ruling. Please Read Breakdown of Events Below!

We are the 99%, the keepers of Occupy Wall Street and not the founders.
We are swept up in the roaring rapids and still we have the humility to admit that we exist only to deliver it to the next generation, in the hope that they may live freer and happier than we did.
Occupy Wall Street is making the power elite crazy. They can’t control them, there’s no one in charge.” — Diane Ravitch, education historian, on her first visit to Zuccotti Park, fall 2011
“Our movement is leaderless and leaderful.” —Dr. Cornel West, American philosopher, academic, activist, author
Last week, a power struggle within an Occupy collective emerged into the public realm when one member took sole ownership of the @OccupyWallSt twitter handle and began to issue calls to action and reflections on the history of the movement.
