OWS S17 Planning Assembly welcomes Organizations including Occupy Working and Affinity Groups that have been vigorously, courageously working on social and economic justice issues to attend a unique Occupy Movement style celebration of Independent & Progressive Media, to give you the opportunity to engage in conversations geared towards creativity, empowerment and solutions.

On the third anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, September 17, 2014 (S17) we will be gathering in Zuccotti Park, New York City.

We wish to thank you, to promote who you are and what you do, by bringing you together with many others who have important things to say about solutions to the issues our society faces.

We are imagining that Zuccotti Park will be occupied all day long and that the core assembly for media and organizations would be present at least between 10AM -- 3PM. At noon there will also be special announcements about successes and important upcoming events.

It may be true that we have all been preaching to the choir. Now we turn up the volume and preach to the choir, the orchestra and a million conductors.

It is with appreciation and excitement that we look forward to conversing with you on September 17, 2014 (S17) in Zuccotti Park.

In solidarity --- We are the 99%
