Check out my radio segment on @WBAI_Radio for their special on #OccupyWallStreet #ows. WBAI has been around for over 60 years, the first non-commercial, Listener Supported radio station in NYC. (NPR modeled their stations off of WBAI.) They had a hand in the 60’s Revolution! Historic!! 

This is an hour long special for their Five O’clock Shadow program. I was a guest along with a father whose 17 year old son was arrested, for just delivering breakfast to protestors!! I believe this is a great special all about OWS. We discuss MANY issues. Apparently the station got a few compliments about this special, and apparently people liked what I had to say. Shocking ;) Honestly, I am truly happy about this segment. I think we did OWS proud.

I proposed to the Program Director an idea for a radio show I’ve had in mind for awhile, and he said he just so happens to have a new slot open and will take a look at my proposal! It would be all about the Environment. I’d bring special guests discussing ALL of the Fossil Fuel dangers, sustainability, eco-fashion, bio-fuel, etc. We’ll see how it all goes. Stay tuned…. Literally ;)

This explains how corporations manipulate the media & our minds. The Koch bros are evil!

Interview at #OccupyWallStreet:
I have pretty much dropped EVERYTHING in my life to become an environmentalist. I’m not just fighting for the oceans and polar bears, I’m fighting for Humanity. *A poisoned planet is a poisoned civilization* Please watch this interview where I explain the dangers of what we’re dealing with. I’ve always wanted to be a mother, but I’m not having a child until we make some real changes on this planet. *You may want to lower volume.*

motherjones: Best #OccupyWallStreet photo ever of the day.

Wow. Beautiful, sad, inspiring video of the Monk that was arrested on bridge at #occupywallstreet

I love this short video! Lots of signs from #occupywallstreet!

#OccupyWallStreet is in @TIME Magazine! #owsnews

Crazy news guys, not only did Occupy Wall Street make it in TIME Magazine, but they used my photo!!! I love the quote they used too! We’ve all been working really hard at trying to rebuild the World we want, so this is great that TIME covered it. It’s an international magazine!!! I’ve been working my little butt of doing political street theater, to try to lift everyone’s spirits. There is nothing greater than seeing a delirious, hard working, fellow protester laugh from my performances. I’ve been learning from everyone, having the most incredible conversation and finding HOPE that WE THE PEOPLE will make this a better country and planet!

All day, all week, occupy Wall Street. Yes we camp! Vive le Revolution! For our future, for our children’s future.

Truly ethical corporation Ben & Jerry’s supports Occupy Wall Street.

          

As a person who has been occupying Wall street, on and off since night one, I am truly happy to get Ben & Jerry’s support. They have an INCREDIBLE history of treating workers with dignity, using Fair Trade practices, and raising funds for charitable causes. Their Ben and Jerry’s Foundation offers grant money to people and groups who are working towards Social Change. October is Fair Trade month, and they have been committed to Fair Trade since their inception. If you aren’t aware of what Fair Trade is: It’s a real step towards Human Rights and Worker’s Rights in impoverished countries. Millions of children, adults, and elderly workers overseas (and sometimes in America too!) are abused, work 18 hour days, work in unhealthy conditions, and get paid very, very little. Sometimes pennies a day, all while the Corporate share holders make billions. With Ben & Jerry’s committing to Fair Trade, they are committing to only using ingredients that were farmed, or produced by workers who were, well, treated fairly.

If any corporation were to get behind our Occupy Wall Street Revolution, I’m happy it was this one. I think they are the perfect example of how a corporation can operate. I personally love them :) I was even lucky enough to be randomly and magically chosen out of eighty thousand people to wear their Corporate Sponsored dress at Bonnaroo’s first ever eco-fashion show this Summer! Ben & Jerry’s supports my cause, I support theirs!

          

The Wall Street Journal (@wsj) quotes me at #occupywallstreet… hilarious!

Now this is hilarious. I spoke to the Wall Street Journal for ten minutes about how our tax dollars have been fueling the War and not going towards crucial programs like education and health care- like almost every OTHER developed country except us, and how BP got away with crimes against Humanity and THIS is what they post! HAHHAHAHAH! I totally said this, but after an in depth convo!! My quote is in last paragraph!

Screenshot from Wall Street Journal online:

I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a “thing-oriented” society to a “person-oriented” society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.

—Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., “Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break the Silence’

All day, all week, occupy ALL streets! 22 days in to the occupation. 650+ cities have now begun their own occupation, World Wide, to fight corporate corruption and corruption within their political system. GLOBAL REVOLUTION!!!! REAL TIME REVOLUTION!!!! It’s the most exciting thing that I have ever experienced. It’s ELECTRIC! But it’s going to be a long battle. No one said the Revolution was going to be easy, it’s really only just the beginning. But it has begun and there is no turning back. Stay safe, stay strong.

psycho-mafia: “1789 – French Revolution: Women of Paris march to Versailles in the March on Versailles to confront Louis XVI about his refusal to promulgate the decrees on the abolition of feudalism, demand bread, and have the King and his court moved to Paris.” Bad ASS Precisely why I dress as Marie Antoinette at #occupywallstreet!
