A DAY AT OCCUPY OLYMPIA

Submitted to Shelton Blog by Christine Armond Mason County Progressive

COMING TOGETHER IN OLYMPIA, WA

Under the Capitol Dome at Heritage Park, Olympia, WA


Encampment with 250 people & 100 tents grows daily


General assembly meetings at noon & 6:00 pm


Diverse groups of all ages & views learning
to come together in consensus



Families


Cheerfully doing what needs to be done


Environmental activists


First Aid & Donation Drop Off Station


Creative shelters


Food donations coming & going


Organized necessities


Food offered with warm smiles


This occupation really has its "stuff" together!


Impressive!


Work still in progress


Comradery abounds


Networking that will extend beyond the occupancy


Smiling brightens up the gray drizzle


Sign for those who might not appreciate the
"colorful language" graffiti on Anarchists' Tent


Democracy in action


View from Traditions Cafe


THE FUTURE DEPENDS UPON US!


LET THE DEMONSTRATIONS BEGIN!
