humanitarian reasons, but they were brutally treated, arrested and jailed many times, and disappeared basically, to make room for his wealthy friends.

Be careful. Thank you for standing up for the homeless, the most vulnerable people. Shame on this country that there is even one homeless person in this obscenely wealthy nation.

I wonder if a project could be started, sort of like Carters home building project, where OWS activists could approach wealthy people, businesses and ask them to help build some shelters, or buy abandoned buildings to fix up for the homeless?

I think something like that is happening in Illinois, where OWS has been given, or were given an abandoned building and are fixing it up and planning to make it their base while accomodating the homeless.

Shame them into giving something back maybe. And some may be willing to do it.

Take care and try not to get arrested. I hope there are people there filming everything.
