I need a crew of folks to help provide food for the Occupy Fresno effort. If we get a few, we can divide up the tasks and do a better job. These mostly young people are putting in a lot of effort, and lack of sleep, for this cause. Yesterday, they went to several downtown banks to publicize the idea of people taking their money out of the big banks and putting it into local credit unions or local banks. I heard B of A closed their doors an hour early to avoid dealing with them. There is an amazing couple from Fowler, Gerry and Lupe, who are bringing a full dinner Mon., Wed. and Fri. I have been doing quite a few and I think they have had food every evening. Ellie Bluestein (& Jemmy, Cordia, and Isaiah) brought huge containers of great food from the Shanghai one evening, and Dan Yaseen brought Pakistani food donate by the restaurant Lahori Tikka. Sunday may be covered by Food, Not Bombs. If those receiving this have lists or just contacts to send to, could you send this on? And if you don’t want to take your food donation downtown you can bring it to me, I’ll be happy to deliver it for you. But you really may not want to miss seeing this.
