What YOU Can Do to End Corporate Greed and Congressional Waste

By now you've probably heard about Occupy Wall Street, a nonviolent demonstration that started in NY 3 weeks ago and is spreading to cities across the world. Unfortunately, NYPD has been roughing up and arresting peaceful protesters, including over 700 this weekend. Here's what you can do to help.

1. Educate yourself. There's been a media blackout in the U.S. and only independent/foreign journalists have been covering this. Read articles in UK or Canadian publications and watch videos on youtube. The official declaration of the movement:

2. Spread the word. Forward this. Post on facebook and twitter.

3. Send supplies to NY. Here's a list of needs, esp blankets:

Send to: The UPS Store/Re: Occupy Wall Street/118A Fulton St. #205/New York, NY 10038.

4. Attend your city's Occupy. Occupy San Diego starts this Friday at 6pm. Let me know if you want to carpool, meet there, or make signs beforehand. It goes indefinitely so I'll be there off and on. Facebook event page here: https://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=104817912961200

5. Donate supplies or food for Occupy San Diego. WE DESPERATELY NEED:
DRY ICE
STOVE TOPS
PROPANE 16, 9oz
SERVING UTENSILS
TABLES
BOWLS

6. If you have a car, offer to give rides, run errands, or pick up food/supplies for demonstrators in your city.

7. Donate to the cause. But they really need supplies and bodies, not money.
