Photos from Occupy Philly general assembly, and a note for families and kids
As I reported last night, more than 1,000 activists packed into the Arch Street United Methodist Church to decide where and when to Occupy Philly in solidarity with the booming Occupy Wall Street protests against corporate greed and financial exploitation.
Photos are by photographer Kaytee Riek, save for the last shot, which is by Marquise Lee.
Occupy Philly begins Thursday, October 6 at 9am. City Hall.
And a note from Kathryn Hinchey (k[DOT]hinchey@gmail[DOT]com), who is preparing to help protesting families and children:
Parents bringing their kids to the protest should be sure to check in with us to get wristbands to keep the kids safe in case of emergency or separation. We really want to stress the importance of parents knowing their protest rights and making sure their kids do too. We will be providing a safe space for parents and kids to play, relax, and talk about their role in the protest. We are also be planning a bunch of family friendly events for the weekend that we will tell parents about.
We need things like books, toys, blankets for kids to sit on. Blank stickers to write emergency contact info and stick on parents and kids. Any help getting the word out would be amazing!!!
Send your personal testimonies and photos to daniel[DOT]denvir@citypaper[DOT]net and we will post them over the coming weeks--or months?
Follow me on Twitter @DanielDenvir for Occupy Philly coverage.
