Striking firemen put themselves at the committees’ disposal, and in many localities they became the de facto local government. At the national level, the Federation of Strike Committees, Councils and Assemblies, consulting via Internet chat, took rapid stock of the situation around the country and issued a Ten Point Emergency Declaration: | All over America, local strike committees, occupiers, workers’ councils and community assemblies were galvanized into action – tending to the wounded, relieving the homeless in the zones of destruction, preparing to go underground and resist.
