Occupy 
The 
Rose 
Parade
 and 
New 
Year’s 
Day 
Summit!



The 
Pasadena 
Rose 
Parade 
has 
a 
long 
history 
both
 as 
an 
American 
tradition,

and 
with 
hundreds
 of 
thousands 
in 
attendance 
and
 millions
 of 
viewers 
across 
the 
globe,

as
 a 
platform
 for 
countless 
peoples’
 rights 
movements 
over 
the 
years.


This 
year, 
New
 Year’s 
Day 
falls 
on 
a 
Sunday, 
so 
in 
keeping
 with 
tradition,

the
 123rd 
Tournament 
of 
Roses 
Parade 
will 
be 
held 
on 
Monday, 
January
 2nd,
 leaving

Sunday, 
January 
1, 
2012
 for 
the 
Occupy
 New 
Year’s 
Day 
Summit!



As 
we 
celebrate
 the 
passing 
of 
one 
year 
and
 the 
beginning 
of 
another,


anyone 
and 
everyone
 interested 
in 
discussing 
the
 Occupy 
Movement,


it’s 
events 
and 
successes 
in 
2011,
 its 
direction 
and 
future 
in 
2012,

should 
gather
 at 
Pasadena 
Memorial 
Park
 for 
an 
all 
day 
summit.

(park
 hours 
are 
from
 6am‐10pm).


Activists
 and 
issue
 specific 
experts
 will 
be 
on
 hand
 to
 discuss
 the 
real 
issues
 of 
the 
99%,

the 
current
 state 
of 
the 
Occupy 
Movement, 
and 
the 
various 
ways 
that 
individuals
 can 
take
 Action 
on 
their 
concerns.


In 
coordination 
with 
Pasadena 
City 
Officials 
and 
the 
Tournament 
of
 Roses,

Occupy 
The 
Rose 
Parade 
has 
been 
working
 tirelessly 
in 
preparation 
of 
taking
 part 
in 
the
 festivities.


And 
as 
always,
 following
 the 
last 
“official 
float”,
 ALL 
are 
welcome
 to 
take 
part 
in 
the‐parade‐after‐the‐parade,


what 
is 
now
 known
 as
 The 
Peoples’ 
Parade!




Why
 We 
Occupy:
 Discussions 
and
 Actions


For
 those 
who 
feel 
unrepresented
 by
 and
alienated 
from
 their 
social 
institutions,


the
 Occupy
 Movement
 provides 
a 
space 
for 
the 
99% 
to 
assemble,
 meet 
like minded 
people,


and 
have 
their 
voices 
heard
 on 
any
 number 
of 
specific
 societal
 issues.


The 
many
 who 
have 
joined 
the 
Occupy 
Movement
 do 
so 
as 
individual 
citizens,


gathering
 into 
issue‐specific 
discussion 
groups 
with
 the
 intention 
of 
developing
 specific
actions.


This 
action,
 the 
Occupy 
The 
Rose 
Parade
 & 
New 
Year’s 
Day
 Summit!,


is
 focused
 on 
three 
specific 
action 
issues:


Get
 the 
Money
 Out 
of 
Politics 
­
End 
Corporate 
Personhood
­ 
Stop 
the 
Foreclosures


and
 three 
specific
 discussion 
topics:


In
light 
of 
the 
bailouts, 
the 
bonuses, 
the 
fees, 
and 
the 
foreclosures,

what 
accountability 
do 
Economic
 Institutions
 owe 
to 
society?


With 
the 
end
 of 
the 
Iraq 
War, 
and
 the
 war 
in 
Afghanistan
 now 
the 
longest 
in 
American 
history,

what 
have 
we 
learned, 
what 
are 
the 
costs, 
and 
what 
do 
we 
owe 
to 
our 
Troops
 and
 our 
returning 
Veterans?


What 
role 
do 
Faith­ Based
 Institutions 
play
 in
 light 
of
 the


Occupy 
Movement,
 the
 Global 
Economic 
Crisis, 
and 
the 
Peoples’
 uprisings 
around
 the 
world?
