Mayor Bloomberg, the NYPD, and Brookfield Office Properties are pressuring the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators to leave Liberty Square/Zucotti Park in order to “clean the park”. Please take action to go to the park today, the demonstrators are going to try to link arms and make a human chain to nonviolently stand their ground. If you can’t make the trip, please contact politicians and media, and let them know that the demonstrators must stay.

My new video with proof that Occupy Wall is clean is below.

Video description. Title: “Ain’t No Flies On Us” aka “Young Man With A Broom”. Occupy Wall Street is clean! Need proof? OWS has a sanitation committee for cleaning up the area, and a comfort committee for personal cleaning and fresh socks. This video has an eye witness account of a young man with a broom doing the rounds, and reminding his fellow demonstrators to clean up their spaces. It also shows the order and polish at the People’s Library (see the library’s blog: www.peopleslibrary.wordpress.com. My husband and I visited Liberty Square this past Sunday. We did not see any flies or other critters! We saw a noble attempt to keep pathways clear, even while the world around buzzes and visits with the hope of what is happening. News and pronouncements about the need for a cleanup are bogus. Let Occupy Wall Street stay! Let them continue to speak up for the 99%!

If Mayor Bloomberg or Brookfield Properties asks you to clean up, tell them:

There ain’t no flies on us. Ugh!
There ain’t no flies on us. Ugh!
There may be flies on some of you guys.
But, there ain’t no flies on us. Ugh!
