    Austerity the imminent, existential threat to the 99%.No matter the outcome o the

    November elections in the US, working amilies will be thrown over the proverbial scal clif in

    the name o debt and decits. Cutting Social Security, Medicare and other threads in our ragile

    social abric is not only grossly unjust it wont work! The so-called Grand Bargain threatens to

    unleash a death spiral o unemployment and poverty which our nation is not certain to survive.

    Organizing to defend our economic rights.It is or this reason that we must organize now to

    mobilize efective opposition to the impending austerity ofensive; agitate to shit the burden othe economic depression onto Wall Street oligarchs; and to build momentum toward a genuine

    political revolution o, by and or the people.

    another conerence that ends when the doors close. Participants will hear proposals rom

    distinguished speakers, engage in oor debate, and vote on vital strategic matters. The UFAA

    intends to build on Wisconsin and Occupy with decisions, demands and action.
