Tonight, on our 1 month anniversary of Occupying Atlanta, a major event will be happening tonight at Troy Davis Park aka Woodruff park.
Tonight we will be celebrating one month of Occupation in Atlanta, and bringing the issues that affect 99% of people to the public eye. After the park closes at 11 tonight, we will REMAIN overnight, and peacefully protest on the streets. We encourage more to join us, we encourage performers to show their talent, and we hope to see you there! Come one, come all!
Atlanta General Assembly in the Park @ 7pm be there!
nice!!
So were there any arrests last night? I have to say, as much as I support the Occupy movement, ATL has a ways to go. Holding fundraisers where the majority of musicians/spoken word artists are spouting “motherfucker” does not really help the cause. There is socially conscious hip-hop and spoken word that does NOT feel the need to resort to profanity. I myself have little problem with profanity used in certain contexts. But come on – this movement is supposed to attract people from all walks of life, including families and children. Furthermore, Occupy ATL seems pretty poorly organized. Again, I do support the movement, but you might take a cue from OWS…go up and visit and see what you can learn. Plane tix are not that expensive and The Chelsea Savoy is an inexpensive hotel just a few miles from OWS.
