People's Bailout Telethon Proceeds to Buy and Abolish Debt
post by: Dale Friedkin November 10, 2012
Strike Debt is putting on an updated version of an old classic, the telethon, to launch The Rolling Jubilee, a campaign that buys debt for pennies on the dollar and does away with it. Instead of collecting the debt, they will abolish it and help free the debtors!
from the description at the sold-out venue in nyc:
People shouldn’t have to go into debt for an education, because they need medical care, or to put food on the table during hard times. We shouldn’t have to pay endless interest to the 1% for basic necessities. Big banks and corporations walk away from their debts and leave taxpayers to pick up the tab. It’s time for a bailout of the people, by the people.
It will be a wild night of music, comedy, magic, education, and the unexpected. This fast-moving variety show will mix well-known performers, intellectuals and activists from Strike Debt and Occupy Wall Street.
Special guests include Janeane Garofalo, Lizz Winstead, Frances Fox Piven, Max Silvestri, Hari Kondabolu, David Rees, The Yes Men, actor/director John Cameron Mitchell, Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel, Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth, Guy Picciotto of Fugazi, Tunde Adebimpe of TV on the Radio, Climbing Poetree, the Invisible Army of Defaulters, members of Healthcare for the 99%, Occupy Faith, and many more.
watch the livestream on November 15 at 8pm(EST).

About Occupy Bend
Welcome to OCCUPY BEND Community, a hub for all of the events springing up in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street. The news of Occupy events on facebook, twitter and live feeds across the globe inspired us to take local action and to build a site that would help spread the word and organize the movement here in Central Oregon.
This is a place to share information about events that are being organized, in progress, and building. Together, we, the 99%, will take action to overcome the greed and corruption of the 1%. We must return the power of democracy to the people and away from corporate interests. We will make a difference starting in our community.
Our strength is in our solidarity and also in our diversity. Please join us. Share your knowledge, opinions and experiences to guide this local movement so we can shape the best possible future together.
