I got an mass email from the Philly concert people R5 that was all gleeful that the mayor was making available to the protestors there video so they could watch the Phillies game tonite, so there is definitely some people who don't get it. Sitting around watching sports, supporting the millionaires working for huge corporations...
" A bunch of the R5 staff have been getting involved with OCCUPY PHILADELPHIA at City Hall. For those not in the know : "Occupy Philadelphia is a ground up, leaderless movement acting in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement. Our goal is to give a voice to the 99% of the population of our country and city that has suffered at the hand of corporate greed. We are here to peacefully and nonviolently occupy City Hall until our voices are heard. We are inviting ALL Philadelphians to join us in dialogue, action and camping." We went yesterday and it was very inspiring. We saw lots of old friends, met some new ones and it was pretty amazing to see people get together and discuss ideas in community forum. By far one of the cooler things we have had the pleasure of being apart of. Mayor Nutter announced today that the City will broadcast The Phillies game at City Hall / Occupy Philadelphia tonight. We think this is great and encourage you to come watch the game, pick up some information and talk to some of the folks down there and consider your potential involvement. It's not all too often a group of young Philadelphians get such dedicated and direct attention from our political leaders.
