OCCUPY Thanksgiving!

[Segami]

:applause:



" The two Occupy groups in Washington DC - Occupy DC in McPherson Square and Occupy Washington DC (originally October2011.org) in Freedom Plaza - both received some I'm sure very welcome support from the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church today.

The church, working with the group Occupy Faith DC...

...threw open its basement and laid out a spread of turkey, mashed potatoes, corn and pumpkin pie, plus kosher and vegan options, for the afternoon, with enough on hand to feed 500.
Organizing the feast was Occupy Faith DC, an inter-faith coalition set up a month ago to give food, equipment and spiritual support to Occupy DC in McPherson Square and Occupy Washington DC in Freedom Plaza.


"We understand and we are in total solidarity with you," James Leez of Occupy Faith DC and the Network of Spiritual Progressives, a faith-based social justice movement, told the diners.


"There's a lot of love for the Occupy movement," he added. "There are millions of people who want you to succeed, so don't stop... The goal is to have hundreds of thousands in the streets by springtime."

"Unlike counterparts in New York and elsewhere, the two Washington occupations -- located in public spaces belonging to the National Park Service -- has so far been tolerated by local authorities, with few serious incidents", notes AFP via RawStory.


:rofl: No meals were offered to 1%'ers by the church, as far as I know. They'll have to make do with whatever they can scrounge up, I suppose. It must be rough having no friends.:rofl:
