Occupy the Cold

[Blue_In_AK]

Alaska has been experiencing record cold temperatures for the past week with Anchorage hovering right around zero and below. This has cut back on our numbers a bit, but we have still managed to maintain a 24-hour presence downtown. At least we're not Fairbanks where it's been -40. They're still occupying 24/7, as well. I've posted some pictures from Thursday evening, the 2-month anniversary of OWS, and Saturday afternoon here: http://northernvisions.smugmug.com/Politics/Occupy-Anchorage/Occupy-Anchorage-11-17-and-11/20174936_QxCH6N#1593269185_BnbDC5W

General Assembly Thursday


The lady in the tan coat is approaching 95 years old and is a frequent occupier. She's a driving force with Alaskans for Peace & Justice.
