Hey NYC DUers! If we can get a fund going can we feed the protestors?

[hootinholler]

This will take much more coordination than I can supply, but I got the notion that anything we can do to support a constant presence by encampment and a thorn in the side of the crusters in financial districts across the nation, that it would be way cool. It starts in NYC.

I think there are enough young people out of work in cities to have a constant presence. They will need food to be able to maintain that presence.

Maybe it's a silly notion, but I've seen DU do some amazing things in the past and we're due for pulling off something big. Can we feed them?

1. K & R

Sounds like a great idea! I'm not the creative type on these sorts of things, but I can probably donate a couple bucks.

2. I could donate

What about sending some pies down to them? My A.S. Is flaring right now or I'd drive over the bridge and bring it myself.

3. Here is a site to donate food

https://www.wepay.com/donate/99275



also good idea to do searches on corp news websites so it gets hits and facebook it so they know people are interested.

4. Great idea -- we should be finding ways to support them -- SOUP delivery, Pizza ... ????

Coffee -- pastry?

How can we help?

5. do a google search for restaurants and piza places near Battery Park

It's wall street -- there should be tons of little eateries in the area. Is McAnn's still there? Great pizza and beer iirc...

6. K and R and they need food, yes, and also some good Pro Bono legal representation...

...to help them stay put!

:kick:

8. Yikes I hope they don't need Pro Bono representation for other charges.

What a way to start an adult life..huge debts, unemployed, thrown in jail, and a rap sheet.

Good luck to them.

7. I'm afraid this thread will look like a drive by

I need to get my butt in bed.

Please kick if you like the notion so others may see.

9. Pearl St area has lots of young people working in the cafes & bars....

there are quite a few eateries there and a few fast food joints. Star-bucks, etc.

10. Good idea, they are getting Pizza from all over the world:

“@anonops: $2800 of pizza was ordered from all over world. #OccupyWallStreet & #TakeWallStreet Thanks for the Support!”

And I think there is a list of the restaurants who have been taking orders and delivering to them. I will see if I can find it again.
