Life at Liberty Plaza

Posted 12 years ago on Sept. 22, 2011, 2:20 p.m. EST by OccupyWallSt

So far, all that many of you from across the world have seen are the big events like arrests, marches, general assemblies, etc. One thing people don't often get a chance to see is what everyday life is like in the square. This video does an excellent job of showing what it feels like, occupying wall street:

mimi4five: they are very lucky to have you. I'm in this for my kids too! I thank all the young people who are there. They are carrying on for those of us too old to sleep in a park, and those who are too young to even know what's been stolen from them.

You guys suck! You don't even know what you are mad at. You keep saying you're growing, yet the rest of us can hardly see you. LMFAO! Take a bath and shave, maybe you can get a job and buy a home, loosers!

Every demonstrator throw four quarters in the air as functionaries come pouring out of their currency lairs at the end of the day. Photograph the scramble.

People forget music was a very big part of the protests back in the 60's The draw back is there isn't alot of political music anymore,( I think the recording industry saw to that) But anyways there is still alot of music from the 60's - 70's that would apply to the problems of today. "People lets stop the war",

' I come tumblin" (Grand funk railroad) "Beds are burning" ( Midnight oil) etc. I agree with the one poster on here, play music and play it loud, let those grinning jackasses on the balcony know your there and your not amused.

Maximum profit can no longer be the bottom line to everything. Humanity has to figure into the equation too.

Action #1)

Guys each of you get a radio and blast the song

"They Don't Care About Us" by Michael , If you blast it LOUD , it will get media attention and post it on youtube. This could be very viral and contagion.

The key to protest is LOUDNESS not violence !!!! and look smart , intelligent during interview

Action#2) Get a portable speaker phone, have each person deliver a speech why they are there

Action#3) Sing a protest song !!!! Like Obama NO you can't

I'm extremely proud to be a part of this revolution. I started Wednesday, and have stayed through the nights. I started without knowing anyone. I am here now, standing with a new family.

Hey Guys, I'm going to play some music (guitar) for your heroism it's the very least I could do- wish I could protest with ya'll but need to make $$ to support myself. Hope the music brings you happiness in this crazy world, as it does for me

lose the American flags!!! Lets look beyond borders folks. Transcend the nationalism!

Thank you all so very much for dealing with the corporate fascists on such an awesome level. I hope to join you soon, though I may bring not too much more than myself, a sleeping bag and a few days worth of food. The American Main Stream Media is not discussing your peaceful protest or the brutality you are enduring, and I don't care how they twist it when it gets big enough that they have to report on it, I support you with every bit of love and admiration I can muster. Stand strong!
