OYC Spring: In Like a Lamb, Out Like A Lion

So, many things to report from the corners around this country, Here goes:

OccupYrCorner DC!

We've been contacted by old and new friends over at Occupy DC to help them setup their own Official OccupYrCorner in DC! In only a few weeks they've had meetings, made materials of their own, and had a Corner Occupation in front of the Capitol on St. Patty's Day, March 17th! We were able to tune into the livestream of their 1st meeting and below are some shots from their first action! Go OYCDC!

OccupYrCorners: Sherman Heights Awareness Day

On March 7th, OYC took the message of how Walmart is destroying communities into the Sherman Heights neighborhood of San Diego, California. We had a three-tier, staggered occupation throughout the afternoon arranged by Occupier David. Occupiers Josephine, Fish, Ken, and Chris were UNSTOPPABLE, Occupier Christie brought the cutest dogs, and thanks to Occupier Tammy for bringing the calvary! We handed out almost 200 flyers and were almost clean out when she appeared stocked and ready!

NOTE: Lesson learned. Always make sure your audience knows you are Occupiers. We had reports back that people mistook us for community members who were trying to sway the Community Meeting, not support it's attendance. Luckily, Occupier Dave is as cool as he is collected, so he followed up with members of the Sherman Heights Community Board and worked with them on how we could make our message stronger. Thank you to Dave!
