The Voices of OWS – Day 30
Monday, October 17th, 2011Occupy Washington Square – OWS Day 29
Sunday, October 16th, 2011
Occupy Wall Street general assembly inside the central fountain in Washington Square Park shortly before 11PM yesterday.
Mic-check is the call and repeat technique that sprang-up out of the necessity because NYC law prohibits the use of bullhorns or any amplified sound without a permit. Here they are announcing their plan to occupy Washington Square Park. The park officially closes at midnight. And they did strategically disperse at midnight, but a few remained. See Josh Harkinson‘s video below. He was reporting for Mother Jones and barely escaped arrest doing so.
This land was made for you and me. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Kyle, Occupier from Day 1 – OWS Day 24
Thursday, October 13th, 2011
I first interviewed Kyle on Day 14. Here he reflects on how OWS has grown as he helps keep things clean with the sanitation squad. Edit: I think I must have misread the patch on his arm (a piece of duct tape with magic marker letters) mistaking the y in Kyle for a u and thus named him Kule in the video.
