After yesterday's tagging raid, (De)Occupy Honolulu rotated all tents out to supporters' private property to disqualify them from seizure under "Bill 54" (ordinance 11-029) which requires property to be "stored" for 24 hours on public property after being tagged. However, chairs, desks, and a really comfortable sofa which were tagged yesterday were seized. These items are either gleaned from Makiki curbsides or contributed by supporters.
Why do people support (De)Occupy Honolulu? Repeat contributor and masked man Zorro (not his real name) sent this art piece and limerick (along with some tents and chairs) not too long ago.
So be like Zorro! Donate some Freedom Furniture (or let (De)Occupy Honolulu know where you see furniture appropriate for the Public Forum).
(De)Occupy Honolulu is in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street and the worldwide Occupy Movement which asserts that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We urge people to exercise the right to peaceably assemble, occupy public space, create a process to address the problems we face, and generate solutions accessible to everyone.
Oh, and big party and call for General Strike on May 1, but that's a whole other post.
