Poll question: There's a DU meme that we are all just keyboard warriors here |
|
I know personally that it isn't true. But lets talk on the ground politics, shall we? OWS isn't just a protest anymore, it's a movement, so how have you contributed thusfar?:

2. I've been down to Westlake (Occupy Seattle) |
|
but just to drop off stuff. I'm still getting over a nasty cold and have no interest in being a Typhoid Mary to this movement. It will still be there on Sunday and so will I. I hope people understand this is a long term movement and that new people cycle in. It can't sustain without everyone's help.

3. I've done money and supplies |
|
Also visited Occupy Seattle. Don't think that those who are there only for the major events count as occupiers, though.

4. If you stay overnight, you occupy |
|
I brought blankets, though I found out that the folks who were cold last night were the ones who were at the Courthouse (?). I didn't stay long because, as I said, I didn't want to make anyone sick.

6. I've found that the hardest thing when doing Polls is to think of all the permutations |
|
I was just hoping to make a point that we aren't all just sitting at our keyboards unless it's 3:14 in the morning and we're nightshifters, you know?

The idea of anyone or anything associated with OWS being in any way warrior-like is kinda funny to me... and kind of sad...
