Join the Night Of A Million Tents Facebook Event
Want to know how you can be personally involved with the Occupy Movement sweeping the Globe?
Well, first I have to start with a little story. Since the Occupy Seattle demonstration began at Westlake Park on Saturday, October 1st, dozens of tents had been torn down and over 30 protesters arrested peacefully Then at Occupy Seattle's Oct 8th General Assembly, a passionate speaker addressed the issue of the rights to have tents at Westlake Park, and that confiscation would only lead to more tents being erected. During his speech he called out for 500 tents to be erected at next saturday's protest. Over the next week the word was spread person to person, by thousand of flyers and by the internet.
Well, we never did reach 500 tents, but were able to occupy Seattle with over 100 tents and had more than 3,000 people show up for a protest march on the streets of Seattle.
So this brings me back to the idea of "THE NIGHT OF A MILLION TENTS" . What I propose is, that each person that wishes to participate, but can't because, their local movement is too far, don't have transportation, or childcare, is for them to pitch a tent in their own front yard, place a protest sign next to it. Then invite your friends, family and neighbors to join you.
Knowing in some areas that October 29th can be chilly, you can either spend the night in the tent, bring lots of sleeping bags and blankets, or just leave the tent out in your yard. The message will be heard.
