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?
