NYC Guerrilla Drive-In with Illuminator

WHAT: a 99% Guerrilla Drive-In street party (with The Illuminator!)
WHY: GE is being a "tax hole"
WHEN: 8pm, Tuesday, April 17, Tax Day
WHERE: GE's most famous subsidiary, NBC
(meet up @ the rink @ Rockefeller Center)


GE is possibly the worst corporate tax-dodger in the country. The've made billions off the 99%. In New York alone, GE's tax dodging has cost us $297 million. Money that could go to educating our children, keeping our neighborhoods safe, providing healthcare for our seniors, or creating good jobs in our communities. Instead it's all disappeared into the GE Tax Hole.

While we pay our fair share and play by the rules, GE sends an army of tax lawyers and lobbyists to Washington to write its own rules.

Well... Not. Any. More.

On Tax Day, Tuesday April 17, the 99% is heading to GE's most famous subsidiary, NBC, located at 30 Rock, in the heart of Manhattan, with a little surprise for GE, and a little party for ourselves.

Our beautiful secret weapon, The Iluminator, will be there to shine a light on GE's misdeeds. And the Tax Dodgers will take the plaza in their high-styling baseball duds and "go to bat for the 1%."

Later this month thousands of 99%ers are planning to swarm GE's shareholder meeting in Detroit, and they're looking to us to set the tone. Let's not disappoint!

Come on out Tuesday night and lets close down GE's tax hole. Popcorn will be served.
