takethesquare.net, a site inspired by the Occupy movement has put out a call for a global day of action on May 12.
The call is out to chapters of the Occupy movement worldwide to march in solidarity with the countries in which uprisings are currently taking place (Syria, Greece, Egypt, Tunisia, Iceland and India to name a few).

The Telegraph has released a video showing tanks carried on the back of trucks, apparently heading through a suburb of Damascus, Syria, on their way to the besieged city of Homs.
Meanwhile, contrasting opinions have been put forward by citizen journalists including Australians for Syria and Information Clearing House.
The following article is one woman’s opinion on the complex situations facing Syria.
US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has slammed Russia and China over their veto of UN Security Council resolutions to send a civilian ‘peacekeeping’ mission to Syria. She called Russia and China “despicable” and questioned whose side they were on and even went as far as to say “they are clearly not on the side of the Syrian people”.
More rhetoric flowing from the White House in favor of occupying yet another country? Seems likely.
The UN security council held a meeting to determine whether to stop the killings in Syria. Russia and China used their vetoes, blocking the UN from intervening. America and the UK have expressed their disgust at this…. which is, at best, hypocritical, when viewed in the wider geopolitical context.
An amazing amount of articles and videos from protests all over the globe can be found at the link below.
To our brothers and sisters overseas your struggle does not go unnoticed. Solidarity.
