Forum Post: JUst a thought: Self Sufficient

I know this this occupation is relying heavily on donations, at the same time farms are failing because of new no immigrant worker laws such as in Alabama and other states. Is there anyway you guys could strike a deal with these farms so that a certain portion of protesters rotated in working on them, while getting a certain portion in donations back? I just thought that maybe you guys could help work for your food too, while changing how things are done at the bottom, not the top is the way to really promote change. I'm sure terms could be brought up somehow. Working these farms is hard work, but it would give you all just that much more of a thicker skin, grit and more credibility in the eyes of those who think you all are just looking for handouts. Allow the revolution to evolve toward this, just a thought! If nothing else maybe you can start your own farms?
