DEAR FOLLOWERS, FELLOW BLOGGERS AND ANYONE WHO HAS FOUND THEMSELVES ON THIS BLOG:

This blog is about events in NYC and leisurely activities.

Yet, during the recent turmoil that has been going on for the past week in Istanbul and many other parts of Turkey, the turkish media has been failing to do their part by not reporting the shocking brutality that the turkish police forces have been applying to their citizens. A 22 year-old boy was killed by the police!

If you haven’t heard what’s been going on watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59XPBtofVGA&feature=youtu.be

If you also think that this is absolutely unacceptable ( the whole world does), and would like to take part in making a change, please share the news with your friends and your followers.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST:

There will be protests in Union Square Park every night until further notice from 7PM-9PM to condemn Erdogan and his government. Please be aware this is a silent protest.

TODAY JUNE 1, 2013

Zucotti Park 

12PM

To The Member of the Press, International Human Rights Organizations, and the People of New York City,

We are artists, students, intellectuals and citizens of New York City. Together with supporters of Occupy Wall Street, we are here in Zuccotti Park to show solidarity with our friends and brothers and sisters who are occupying Gezi Parki in Istanbul. This is a peaceful event. Our goal is to attract public attention to the protests in Istanbul Gezi Parki and the consequent police brutality of the Erdogan/AKP government!

Since Monday, May 27th, citizens of Istanbul from all backgrounds have been staging a peaceful resistance in Gezi Park, the city’s largest public park, protecting it and its trees from a large gentrification project to transform a public park into a shopping center. The demolition of the park should be understood as another incident of the government’s ongoing appropriation and privatization of public resources.

Since the peaceful occupation started three days ago, The Turkish police have repeatedly intervened, with each intervention more violent than the last. The riot police set fire to the occupier’s tents, and used tear gas relentlessly, causing serious injuries.

Finally on May 31st, the police attacks included rubber bullets, in addition to physically beating and ultimately killing of at least one protester.

Today, hundreds of thousands of people in Istanbul are resisting the AKP government’s neoliberal policies and the brutal attacks on the protestors continue.

This is not the first time protests have been met with state sanctions violence. Most recently, the Turkish police used unreasonable force to disperse May Day protestors again attacking a group of peaceful demonstrators in Istanbul’s Taksim Square. The Erdogan government’s excessive force and the use of tear gas and rubber bullets against peaceful protestors is unacceptable, it breaches international human rights criteria and must be stopped.

We are calling on the international community to support the Turkish protestors’ right to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression. We demand an independent and impartial investigation into the allegations of excessive and unnecessary use of force, to ensure that any law enforcement officials responsible for arbitrary or abusive use of force are prosecuted.

“A large-scale environment by Random International, Rain Room is a  field of falling water that pauses wherever a human body is detected—offering visitors the experience of controlling the rain.

The work invites visitors to explore the roles that science, technology, and human ingenuity can play in stabilizing our environment. Using digital technology, Rain Room is a carefully choreographed downpour—a monumental work that encourages people to become performers on an unexpected stage, while creating an intimate atmosphere of contemplation.” – MoMA

“It’s already been a month filled with epic roof parties, but this weekend we’re upping the ante by debuting a brand new roof space for you this Sunday! It’s in the heart of Williamsburg with an amazing skyline view, and we have a feeling that we’re all going to spending lots of time there this summer. The first act to break in the space is none other than Recloose… if you’ve heard his tracks like “Electric Sunshine” on Rush Hour or “Cardiology” on Planet E, you know it’s perfect stuff for a day in the sun. All the usual suspects of the ReSolute crew will joining on the decks throughout the day.”
