Occupy Movement to Cause Disruptions to Supply Chains across U.S.

Shut Down the Corporations, which stemmed from the Occupy movement, is planning several non-violent direct action protests on February 29, 2011. The protests are targeted at companies of American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) members. Tactics that will be used include sit-ins, strikes, blockades, boycotts, banner drops, culture jamming, and performance. Supply chain disruptions should be expected on the 29th at company locations with ALEC board members and 50 “Occupy” cities across the U.S. More information about the protests and specific protest locations can be seen at the organization’s website: http://www.shutdownthecorporations.org/
