A Movement Spreads

If one would have driven down East Walnut Street in Green Bay this afternoon, seeing a few young people with signs on the road by the Court House today may have seemed like no big deal.  Occpy GB  3 (17) compressed If one considers that a movement that started with a few young people has now spread to 4 Continents, that may seem like a big deal. In Green Bay, the biggest deal on a Sunday during football season is the game.  As the Packers went on to another win today, to keep a perfect record, there were a few die hard members of the Occupy Movements local chapter, Occupy Green Bay, who were out on offense driving home a message.  According to a report by Dave Gilson and Carolyn Perot of Mother Jones, “A huge share of the nation's economic growth over the past 30 years has gone to the top one-hundredth of one percent, who now make an average of $27 million per household. The average income for the bottom 90 percent of us? $31,244.”.  With a strong wind blowing Occpy GB  3 (26) compressedfrom the West, these Green Bay protesters were out spreading a message of dissatisfaction with those statistics.  Out spreading a message of dissatisfaction with Corporate control of our political system.  A message of dissatisfaction with high paid lobbyists with too much influence.  A message of dissatisfaction with some who are too big to fail, and the rest of us who don’t seem to matter.  A message of many issues that result in economic inequality.  Not just in the United States, but now with the “Global Economy”, the entire world. 

Logistics, Planning, and a Occpy GB  3 (27) compressedCamper

The movement, which has grown from the original Occupy Wall Street demonstrations, has now begun to offer training online with it’s global revolution livestream channel Occpy GB  3 (6) compressedand on occupytogether.wikispot.org.  One of the most important aspects to a movement like this is logistics.  Through the use of a Camper, Occupy Green Bay has been able to offer a little comfort and support to the local marchers.  If you would like to offer your support, either by participating in the march or providing assistance in some other way, you can contact Occupy Green Bay by leaving a comment on their facebook page, or leave a comment here and I will forward.
