Getting ready for the parade

Getting ready for the Thanksgiving Parade

We served dinner at the Community Kitchen today after walking the line at Judd Plaza, signs in hand, both of us... The Thanksgiving Parade was tonight, very soggy, so we didn’t attend. We return to the plaza to keep the spirit of the movement alive. If we can maintain a presence through the winter, I’ll feel pretty good about the depth and strength of the movement. Spring should tell the story. But who can say for sure. If police, mayors, university presidents continue to aggressively over react to non violent provocations, then the movement may really take off. I don’t think average Americans approve of the tactics they have seen played out on their TV screens the last couple of weeks. Those images only strengthen the movement and the support there of.


Tomorrow is the Thanksgiving Dinner at the Community Kitchen. We’ll help serve from 11am till 1pm, then we’ll go walk the line for a couple of hours at Judd Plaza. We’re hoping to see many of our friends and fellow 99 percenters there too.
