Occupy eARTh - 6/19/12 in Wagontown
Come Occupy eARTh on May 19th, 2012 from 1 to 5pm at eARTh —the Kates/Layton art center.
This idea is an inspiration mash-up inspired by…
The Occupy Wall St. Movement,
The flashmobs and pop-ups of now
The T.E.D. Movement*
The United States of Mind dialogues we performed in the ’90s
Fringe Festival
Burning Man
The 2oth Century Movements of free speech, anti-war, civil rights, human rights, gay rights, women’s rights, labor rights
Be-ins of the ’60s
The Soapboxes of London’s Hyde Park
The Center Square of William Penn’s vision
IT’S A FREE-FOR-ALL FLEA MARKET OF IDEAS SO PICK YOUR ATTITUDE AND COME!
Plenty of parking, birds, flowers, sports, reservoir, wind in the trees, sculptures, vegetables, views.
Come to talk, exchange, relax, think, network, sell, walk, listen.
Bring your wares to sell, instruments, art, art supplies, food, good spirits, chairs and easy-ups.
Postscript. The Occupy Movement is 23% under age twenty-five; 44% ages twenty five to forty-four; 32% over age forty-five. It is 70% independent; 27% Democrat; 3% Republican«< hey, way to go you courageous 3 percenter Republicans!!
When it comes to Occupy Wall St., where you sit is where you stand. Not all 1 percenters are against the OWS movement. Not all 99 percenters are with OWS. Piers Morgan interviewed Michael Moore on CNN and asked him if —since he was a multi-millionaire—he saw himself as one of the 1%. Moore, in shock , denied it. So it’s not the $$, it’s the attitude.
Moore inspired the Occupy movement—he was a mid-wife—putting his own well being on the line through his movies and a TV show (“TV Nation”) that took on the greediest power hoarders, to get out the word that something was not working for the majority of us. And Deb and I feel the same way: Mid-wives. Vindicated for all the talking, writing, blogging, listening, arguing. People confuse us as being part of both the 99% and the 1%. Maybe we’re just the Beverly Hillbillies, Wagontown Style!
