Occupy is Showing the Way

Today, Occupations across the U.S. have shown that the 99% Movement can do more than protest—we can also take care of one another. 

Across the world, people still reeling from homelessness, poverty, foreclosures, and economic inequality have a lot less to be thankful for. But today, we reminded ourselves -- and the world -- that we can still be thankful for our mutual solidarity. 

From D.C. to Oakland and everywhere in between, Occupiers sat down for communal meals. Others marked Thanksgiving by honoring indigenous Native communities and First Nations who continue to fight for their land and sovereignty against colonialism and corporate greed.

In New York, Occupy The Hood dropped off hundreds of meals at shelters across Harlem, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. The OWS kitchen cooked enough warm meals for 4000 people and handed them out at Liberty Square. 

If this is the ONLY thing that will happen from the Occupy movement, it's surely better than anything we have now or before this movement came into being.  We have elder abuse, child abuse, no one caring about each other or the environment.  This movement has shown the way to a more compasionate and caring society, lets hope it continues for a very long time.  Solidarity!
