I’m doing a series on the messages of Occupy Wall Street protesters, I’m asking them to write their message on the chalkboard and then I’m photographing them with it.
These men were at the protest together, and after the man with the Iraq message wrote his, his friend said the same applied to him.
The redheaded guy told us he joined the Navy because he was supposed to get to go to Iceland, but then he ended up being sent to Afghanistan.
The brunette said he joined the military at the very beginning of the War in Iraq to pay for college.
This is the reality of the Occupy Movement, veterans, union workers, employed people losing their pensions, not what the right-wing media claim, saying we’re all unemployed and don’t want to work.

I did not think a day would ever come, not really, when I found myself no longer being surprised to answer the phone with “Hey, have you been arrested?” But this seems to be the way of things because the NYPD are really trying hard to break Occupy Wall Street. It’s horrifying, facing up to the fact that the cops, who we are supposed to protect civilians, are there to stop us, to destroy our peaceful movement, but after a certain number of arrests, macings, and beatings I can’t deny it anymore, the cops are trying to wage a war against us.
We aren’t going anywhere. The best way to fight their violence is with more peace.

This man was actually in the military, and this is the most powerful sign I’ve seen at Occupy Wall Street. I thanked him for coming out, and he thanked me for coming out- but he definitely deserved it a lot more.

On a march at Occupy Wall Street!
All forward thinking New Yorkers (and anyone who can get to NYC) should be joining us in Liberty Plaza to Occupy Wall Street! There are loads of great things going on, marches, working groups devoted to art, to creative writing, to getting us the right to put up tents. You can make music up on the street (drums and horns are most popular), make a sign at the sign making area and then display it proudly up on the street, you can dance, attend a General Assembly to help make decisions as a group, or you can join a working group to help organize more events, or you can just hang out and chat with other occupiers about what is wrong in America and how we can fix it! Oh, and there’s free food.

At the Occupy Wall Street protest tonight.
If you do not know about Occupy Wall Street you NEED to!
go to: www.occupywallstreet.org now!
Occupy Wall Street is a long-term protest taking place in Liberty Plaza (aka Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan). It’s hard to explain. After reading about it Steven and I headed down tonight (he spent part of the day there while i worked aswell) to see what it was all about. I had been up since 5:45AM assisting on my feet at a shoot, but I found once we arrived I forgot about being tired. There are some organized, intelligent folk running this occupation. There is a kitchen center with ample food to feed the people staying in the park or spending their days there, a med center for the injured, a legal center working with lawyers and the aclu to get a motion in place to allow tents in the park, the legal center also deals with teaching the protestors what their rights are, and documenting/aiding those who have been arrested, and they are organizing tons of marches, bike recycling sessions, and evening activities for all. In the evening, there is a generally assembly, which after a bit of time there Steven and I knew we wanted to stick around for. We all worked on the writing of a document stating our principals as a group, and the process was wholly democratic and the rough draft from a previous general assembly we worked from is definitely really promising.
But what is possibly most striking about it, is that while doing all these things, there is not only this great sense of action in the air, but a very warm community as well. During general assembly people circled around with bags of fruit and almonds for all to enjoy, people from around the world have donated food money, and ben and jerrys just tonight donated 4 cases of icecream, which we all enjoyed while discussing our list of principals.
There is really something happening in lower manhattan, and anyone who can get to New York really ought to come down and stand with us because the time for action is here!
