New York, NY (Nov. 15, 2011) – Activists from Hands Off St. Vincent’s are proud to join #OccupyWallStreet, the labor movement, and the global movement for economic and social equality during the November 17th Day of Action in New York City.

Members of the Healthcare for the 99% Working Group from #OccupyWallStreet will join this action.  Activists are undertaking their action on :

DATE :  Thursday, November 17, 2011
TIME :  1:00 – 1:30 p.m.
PLACE :  St. Vincent’s Hospital, Seventh Avenue South and West 11th Street

At St. Vincent’s, activists will stage a SPEAK-OUT and a DIE-IN.  After that, activists will march to Union Square, so that they can arrive before 3:00 p.m.

Activists want to force billionaire Bill Rudin from the Rudin Management Company to take the lead in building a Trauma Level 1, full-service hospital to replace St. Vincent’s.

Did you know that the residents of the Lower West Side of Manhattan below 57th Street have no hospital ?

Did you know that Bill Rudin wants to offer us a two-bed “hospital” in a phony health care facility ?
