Day 3 Summary | Occupy Chicago

Day 3 of our occupation was another success. Breaking up into small groups we engaged people and challenged their preconceptions of the movement as well as think critically about a system that is set up to keep them down and keep them sleeping. We had people of all walks of life come by to chat with us. Of memorable note was a Chinese national who is studying economics here in Chicago. After hearing about us through twitter, he came down to find out what we are all about. When asked why he stopped by, he responded “I came here to find out if what I was learning in economics is right.” Our message is spreading across the world and our numbers are growing.

Tonights General Assembly had to do with logistics. Our numbers are gaining at such a rate that we took time to come to an agreement about how to handle our community kitchen, dealing with police, and effective ways to spread the message. Other topics included ramping up the Social media exposure and effectively conveying the message of hope and equality to the masses.

As always we want to invite you to become a part of this movement to change the system. Donations of any kind will be much appreciated. Your voice is the most important thing you can donate so come out, have some fun, and let it be known that the days of corporate corruption and bought and paid for politicians are over.

If you would like to donate food or material goods then please stop by the Federal Reserve in Chicago. Of particular concern with the rainy weather is tarps, ponchos, and tupperware to keep food dry. To donate money click here. Stand Strong Chicago!

Thank you all for your caring and support. Stand strong Chicago!
