Cell Phone Charge on Wall Street

Yesterday I sent an emergency box to my friend Chris who lives in the Village in New York. She had no lights, or a radio. She is running out of food. A year ago I sent her a survival box of clothes, a OCCUPY kit with rain gear and wading boots. Occupy Wall Street folks are proving valuable to those who have no power, or survival skills. Wall Street was opened thanks to emergency generators. However, I believe they should put out extension cords and large televisions so the “victims” can recaharge their phones, communicate with the outside world, and see what is going on.

Commodore Mitt should dock his foreign pleasure craft on the Hudson and invite the poor and huddled masses to come aboard and recharge their cell phones, eat a fine meal, drink his champagne, and then shit and piss in his toilets.

Chris got her phone charged by a city worker and his truck with generator.

Together with members from 350.org, Recovers.org, and interoccupy.net, the group has begun Occupy Sandy. Members have set up donation drop-off points in multiple bourgouhs and created localized websites that outline the needs for a given neighborhood, according to interoccupy.net.

OWS is battling obstacles including 600,000 people without power and the death toll of 38 in New York City as of Friday, according to the New York Times.

Occupiers began their efforts in Manhattan’s Lower East Side and have moved throughout New York’s five boroughs, thenation.com reports.

The organizations are asking anyone with “experience in or tools for medical and psychological services, electrician work, plumbing, construction, financial or legal services, debris and tree removal, childcare, transportation, senior services or language skills” to volunteer their services, according to RT.com.

They are also asking for donations in the form of candles, flashlights, batteries, water, food and other amenities that can be dropped off throughout Brooklyn as well as online donations, the news outlet reports.

True to form, OWS and its partners are using social media to reach out to potential volunteers. For those that want to volunteer, the organization asks individuals to use the hashtag #SandyVolunteer, or if they need aid, #SandyAid, thenation.com reports. Its Facebook page is regularly updated too and individuals can receive volunteer text alerts by texting @Occupy Sandy to 23559.
