The NYC all-student assembly meets on Saturdays in Washington Square Park at noon and is composed of students (high school, college, and postgraduate) from NYC and universities in NJ, PA, CT, VT, etc. This group has called for a student strike on 11/17 in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street (on its 2-month anniversary). There will be rallies, marches, and other actions across the city organized by trade unions, students, and activists.

With all due respect, I don't see the connection between this comment and the posting on which it ostensibly comments. The posting said nothing about supporting Soviet-style communism or even opposing capitalism; it was information about activities students might be interested in studying or participating in.
Our policy is to remove irrelevant comments, but since this clearly wasn't intended as spam, before doing that I'd rather give this commenter a chance to make an argument for the connection between her ideas and the topic in the blog posting.
