occupy wall street day 7

These patriot occupiers are fighting for 99 percent of us. Those who are unemployed, uninsured, underemployed and totally insecure in the face of ever increasing social and financial inequities. They are standing up for those who cannot be there right now.

Here's the good news – you can help, right now today – no matter where you are.

1. Spread the word – there's something going on. People have started a movement – they're occupying Wall Street. Hundreds of people have been camped out in lower Manhattan for four days!
2. If you're in New York and can only spare a little time or money: bring American flags, cardboard, markers, water, etc. down to Liberty Park.
3. If you're in the New York area and have a day, a morning, an afternoon, go down there. The weather appears to be holding. Take the day off and just go. I know it sounds hard to believe but you will be heard. This is an open general assembly effort and you will get your say and be a real participant.
4. If you are a little ways from NYC, organize foursomes to go to NYC for the day. It will cost you the train/bus/car fare. Take nothing but some food and water and your body.
5. Too far to get to NYC? Sign this petition and I will read your name and comments in Liberty Park this week, I promise. Break Up Goldman Sachs Now!
6. Be subversive against the big money interests wherever you are and encourage others to do the same. Don't give the banksters 4 percent of every purchase you make with a credit or debit card – use cash. See: UseCashMovement
7. Be subversive: max out your credit card on large ticket items and return them the next day. (This one is right out of the Saul Alinsky playbook.)
8. Move your money from a big bank to a credit union.
9. Picket a local branch of a bank. When the press asks you what the heck you think you're doing, tell them it's in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street.
10. Send food to the protesters in Liberty Park through a New York friend or go to the live stream chat for information on local eats that will take your order. (Yes, you'll have to use your credit card, big spender!)
11. Do you know anybody who knows anybody who knows a writer, a celebrity, etc. who will show their face at the protest? Get to them now.

*Bonus support idea: Spread the word again, and repeat!

don't want to be a chair

pull a revolution from within ~ with so much simplicity
quit smoking and free yourself from financial/ physical dependance
i'm just saying ~
stop buying beer / wine / alcohol products~ the paper cash rewards will astound you
walk away from this air-conditioned slavery
this fence works both ways ~ all we have to do is stop using their products~ stop going to these glittering malls~ don't go out and watch a movie~ make your own~
that hideous inner strength to ~ make your own ~ make your own stars ~ be your own heroes
painted over manifestos ~ we don't have to do anything ~ but support each other~ trade and barter to create an independent country ~ inside this existing edifice
we don't have to move or take to the streets or destroy anything~ just walk around it ~ ignore it
they can't make us buy a new TV~ they can't make us dance to their songs ~pray to their money / gods / actors / objects
just start over~ as a moth
their world will be worthless
while ours could be anything we wanted~ with a new pattern~ a new template
they can only create / the artificial
we can slip between the grating of this cage~
don't
move to unpopular places~
we hold this society/ this very country / propped up / this is ours
the death of the automobile
the tree could have feed us
the wealthy don't live here~ they inhabit some unmapped cities ~ and we are free
is it a crime to ask for my social security now ? to scream ~ i don't want to pay taxes
this all seems so easy, all it takes is a little self control, find a bike, go for a hike, stop reading magazines, have a tea party, try to keep it straight edge~ stay home~ buy nothing~ and the cage around us could wither, dry and vanish
just because we need a remodel doesn't mean we need a fire
we could try a simple path of . . . not doing anything
