March 17th - ReOccupy

My friend Becky was there in NYC for Day One, back on Sept 17th. She's been bouncing back and forth between here and NYC ever since, though nowadays she's spending much more time in NYC than here.

She was there at the park last night, and I haven't heard from her since she sent me a text message saying:

"Zuccotti Park is ReOccupied!"

I think she may have been one of the score of occupiers arrested last night.

I hope that she is safe, and I hope to talk with her about her experience soon.

UPDATE: From Becky:

Jail Support for 7 hours last night- got back to the park just in time to see more of my friends (occufamily) brutally arrested. over 65 arrests- 5 hospitalized. I almost got hit with a barricade while trying to pick up my backpack. I'll be [...] doing jail support for the next 24 to 48 hours. Spring has Sprung! (Also the earlier half of the day was wonderful!)

Some random footage of #j17 Occupy Congress

I've got a ton of footage that I can't even begin to sort through, so I'm uploading stuff raw and uncut from my FlipCam to the FreeChangeCollective's channel:

Here's what's up so far. Updates to come.

GET FREE STUFF- FOR FREE

If you want something cool for free do the following:

1) take an envelope address it to yourself,
2) put some 1st class postage on it.
3) Then put that envelope in another envelope, and send THAT envelope to:

The Punk Patriot
PO Box 771
Standish, ME
04084

I'll put some cool stuff in the envelope you send me (the one with your address on it), and send it back to you.

This is how SASE's work. The last attempt to get this to work were not successful, because some people didn't seem to understand how mail works.

The guy in the blue poncho encouraging people to "Get Y' Peace Signs UP!" is from the Free Change collective. He was arrested yesterday on the Brooklyn bridge, and may not be released until his scheduled court appearance, months from now.
