As we prepare to eat the rich...

Ill admit I wont be able to keep up to much with this blog because of alot of what is going on including my involvement with the Occupy Providence movement. I just wanted to update everyone. As of right now their have been a few decisions made by the various general assemblies of Occupy Providence (I'm gonna call it OccuProv for the sake of fending off carpel tunnel) We have formed committees delegated to the needs of food, sanitation, medical, media, safety, and entertainment. We have come to an agreement to maintain a non-violent methodology so long as the current environment and relationship to the authorities sustains itself. We have decided that all marches and demonstrations shall be done without regards for permits, this is because we sees these streets as our streets and therefore we are no longer willing to ask permission from the "owners" to use our city streets to voice our grievances. We have voted to stand in solidarity with SLAP (Student Labor Alliance Project) in their fight to prevent the injection of corporate education into the providence school system through the proposal of a mayoral academy run by Achievement First Inc. Most importantly we have decided that this Sat. Oct. 15 will be the day in which we begin the full occupation of Burnside Park in solidarity with the call put forth for a national day of resistance and action by the Occupy Together movement.

Tomorrow or the day after I will be posting pictures from General Assembly meetings.
Tomorrow also marks the second call for a day of college rebellions in which college students and faculty show solidarity in their own desired ways with Occupy Wall Street and the Occupy Together Movement. I hope you all can take even just 15 minutes to do something anything, even just bring the topic up in class  to show support for the Occupy movement

In solidarity with the 99%
