Has anyone begun looking into legal loopholes to be able to allow the protesters to erect tents? I just spent five nights out in OWS and heard a growing concern from many as to what will happen to the movement when the cold really starts.
Has anyone tried reaching out to the nearby Trinity Church to see if they would offer refuge at nights to keep these people warm?
When it's going to get cold & wet & nasty you people just should go home, there's no point in freezing and getting sick on the streets, it's just a statement of utter sillyness.
My point: erect a global and local network with secure voting websites, so you can vote on the priority of issues that shoudl be addressed as well as the type of actions that should be undertaken. Use this network also to start building local communities in order to be be able to survive the upcoming economic collapse, creating local off-the-grid currencies and goods & services trading groups. Start taking precautions, stock food, fuel and supllies so you can survive an emergency for some time. Coördinate your actions, help each other and try to maximize the effectiveness of your actions and demonstrations by keeping them short and targeted. Be smart, don't be sitting (and freezing) ducks...
