Occupy Atlanta Days 10 and 11

I’ve become too involved in #OccupyAtlanta to blog about it consistently (simply due to pressures of time). I’ll try to post if I have some free time, but I don’t have 1-2 hours a day to spend blogging, as it’s all spent at the protest[ READ MORE ]

Occupy Atlanta Day 9: A Movement Takes Shape

Previous days’ coverage can be found here. I arrived at 3:32 yesterday. The cleaning crew had come and gone, and by all accounts they were polite and didn’t interfere with the protesters. Earlier in the morning, Occupy Atlanta marched on the State Capitol with Moveon.org, but once Moveon brought out politicians to give stump speeches, [ READ MORE ]

Occupy Atlanta Day 8: Words on the Street

Previous days’ coverage can be found here. Yesterday, I went directly to the kitchen and didn’t get to Woodruff Troy Davis Park until 7:53 P.M. After eight hours of making food, we showed up with three 5 gallons buckets of food, and they lasted for about thirty minutes. A lot more people were present for [ READ MORE ]

Occupy Atlanta Day 6: Growing Pains

Previous coverage of #OccupyAtlanta can be found here. This post is a big information dump, so I apologize in advance. I arrived at Woodruff Troy Davis Park at 4:09 PM yesterday. I attended a committee meeting and brought a load of donated fresh vegetables to the soup kitchen. There was some other stuff, but it’s [ READ MORE ]

Occupy Atlanta Day Five: Behind the Scenes

The previous day’s coverage can be found here. Alternate titles for this post were, “I was not at the march on Bank of America,” and “I succumb to Stockholm Syndrome.” Unfortunately, yesterday I was so busy doing actual work instead of observing that I failed to make use of my handy-dandy notebook, so this post [ READ MORE ]

Occupy Atlanta Day 4: Police Showdown

Coverage of day one can be found here. Day two can be found here. I missed day three because of a barbecue. I showed up for #OccupyAtlanta’s fourth day of protesting at six o’clock, thinking that would be when the General Assembly began, just like every other day. It didn’t however, and when I asked [ READ MORE ]

Occupy Atlanta Day 2: Woodruff Park is now Troy Davis Park

On Saturday (I apologize to my fourteen readers for being late with this) I went to Occupy Atlanta’s General Assembly. I arrived at 7:08 P.M., about an hour into the Assembly. I don’t think I missed much, and here’s what happened while I was there. The crowd was much smaller than before, probably about seventy-five [ READ MORE ]

Occupy Atlanta Day One: The Voice of Who?

These are my thoughts on #OccupyAtlanta. A factual accounting of the events can be found here. Gail Collins, writing for The New York Times, aptly described the consensus process of #OccupyWallstreet, and I think it applies to #OccupyAtlanta as well. The people sitting around with Desmond were studying a proposal for reorganizing the way that [ READ MORE ]

Occupy Atlanta Day One: The Facts

Yesterday I went to #OccupyAtlanta’s General Assembly. These are the facts. Denton and I showed up at Woodruff Park at about 6 PM. Several hundred people were milling around and being filmed by camera crews from CBS Atlanta, Channel 2, and 11 Alive. I didn’t notice any police the entire time I was there; they [ READ MORE ]
