This is the story of war veteran Brigitte Walker who is now being kicked out of her home by Chase Bank after they refused to modify her loan when Walker was medically discharged from the military. Along with Walker, her partner and children will also lose home.

Some might see a crass corporate attempt to latch onto a movement that fits well with the company’s branding. We see a progressive company showing its pre-corporate roots. (via Percolate)

Occupy Portland, OR

I was amazed yesterday when an estimated 10,000+ people showed up for the Occupy Portland March. At one point the march covered seven city blocks. I was just amazed and so inspired to be surrounded by so many people uniting and discussing the future of this country together in peaceful solidarity. After the march 2,000 people stayed to occupy Lownsdale and Chapman Squares in Downtown Portland. Thankfully, no one has been arrested and a longterm occupation solution has been approved by the mayor. I just want to thank everyone across the country who is occupying and marching in solidarity, you all inspire and enlighten me. Let us keep this movement alive!

This is cop whipping people with his baton. And of course it is a white shirt.

I don’t know what happened right before, but I do NOT see anyone at this point posing  a threat to this officer. One thing I do know is that we constantly stress that this is a non-violent movement. Let’s see how the press spins this, if it’s even covered.

who do you serve, who do you protect?

-150k jobs were cut in the last month

-large food bank must close because they don’t have the funds to meet the demands

-georgia’s unemployment rate is still higher than the national average, at over 10%

-an older, white gentleman stood up in front of congress and said they should vote down the jobs bill, because he didn’t see a crisis happening

it is past time for an occupation.

It was hard to try and put all the problems we have on one sign but I think this does the job pretty well.
