The Egyptian Government attacked protesters at Tahir Square and cleared out hundreds.

And then thousands came.

2. Agree. The spokesman talking on the Boston livestream was begging for more people to go to
Boston.

3. They will, that's what happened in NY. In fact some of the other
groups around the country should start planning on travelling to areas where the protesters are being abused by police so that they know when they do it, their cities will be descended upon by even more people.

People will donate to make that possible. They are not having any problems getting donations, it's amazing really. For all the people on the streets, there are probably tens of thousands more and growing each day, who are supporting them in other ways.

They now need to develop a strategy to deal with these events. In NY from the beginning, they had legal advice so when the police tried to remove them from Liberty Plaza, lawyers came down to deal with the situation and it turned out they could not be removed. At first they thought they would have to find another location. So if Boston doesn't have lawyers, they need to get some. And the ACLU has been involved, pro bono in NY I believe, also.

5. I was thinking earlier that there must be a number of lawyers out there who might get involved
pro bono.

6. Don't just post it on the net
GET OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
your city has occupiers in it-look on facebook/twitter!
if you have an hour to spare-occupy! And if you are unemployed, you really have no excuse
The biggest donation all occupiers need is more occupiers!

7. Will be going to Occupy Orlando on the 15th, and I'm taking a friend with me
who never has done a protest before (even though he was a teen in '68), but this is too important for him not to attend!

8. Its not that hard
Edited on Tue Oct-11-11 08:10 AM by flobee1
write your feelings on a peice of cardboard, find the others, and talk to people.
If passersby want to know why you are standing there, tell them.

it really is THAT simple!


edit-if righties got aggressive and tell me to get a job?-"its ok, I already have 2"
If they give you the finger, give them 2 back (peace sign) :-)
