Occupy Nashville: Our Dreams Are Our Protest |

I’m not sure if I could/should add anything to this. Lindsey Krink’s an amazing woman, Occupy Nashville is an amazing group, Occupy is an amazing movement. ON’s future, like so many other Occupations, is in doubt as the TN Legislature is ratcheting up the pressure.
“Our presence is our protest.” All we have is all we are.
And there’s nothing funny about it.

That is very eloquent! Thank you for posting it.
Not a problem, sagesse! I forgot to mention the photo originally appeared on the ON website: http://occupynashville.org/
They are also seeking signatures for this petition:
“Tell Chase that in Nashville, in America, we don’t throw elderly ladies out on the street. In Nashville, in America, we fight for what’s right. Helen Bailey marched for civil rights. It’s our turn to march for Helen Bailey.”

Just lovely, kyushukev. Inspirational as hell, especially to the Dreamers among us. Thank you.
I echo the thanks and noting the eloquence.
It is what human life is and should be about.
I just heard on a tv news show the figures on percentage of earnings now going to workers. It is less than it has been for 60 years. Workers are working. But they are not getting the rewards from that work.
Thank you; helps to renew in all of us the will to fight on.
Beautiful, thank you and thanks to Lindsey Krink!
I see the word “eloquent” was mentioned a couple times. First word that came to my mind, too. Trust me, I don’t use it all that often.
I love the Bobs. I even loved them through those years when they couldn’t get a recording contract. Inspiring!
(oops, this comment was for a different diary. sorry.)
