Helen Boyd Kramer's journal on gender and stuff
This NYT piece on the recent crackdowns on both #OccupyAtlanta and #OccupyOakland covers a little bit of why the violence has escalated. Oakland has not had easy relationship with the police force for (at least) a few years now.
Cops: you are the 99%.
Protestors, stay peaceful and stay safe.
I’m very proud to be one of the signatories on this list of writers who are in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Go check out a poem by Alice Walker titled “the joyful news of your arrest”, a list by Lemony Snicket, or a dispatch by Francine Prose (via Walt Whitman).
I’ll be writing something soon, so keep your eyes peeled.
