The Occupy protest movement has arrived at Everett. At the moment, it’s not much of an arrival. I received the following newstip yesterday:

“Tomorrow is our first GA and protest march. Hewitt and Colby noon. Tentatively evening march from 41st to I-5 overpass. 5pm You are the 99 percent. Dont be a complainer, be a doer. Go to Occupy Everett on Facebook.”

So I went to Facebook, and found two separate Occupy Everett pages. The first was nearly blank. The other seemed to have co-opted Ben and Jerry’s ice cream as a mascot. It also suggested people show their displeasure with Bank of America by going to its page and writing somethere there.

If you’re still confused what the Occupy movement is all about, here’s a description of Occupy Seattle’s mission: “We are the 99% of America that has lived with political, economic, social, and environmental injustice for too long. We will no longer stay silent about the massive transfer of wealth from the majority of America to the 1% who have used their economic power to usurp our democracy. We will rise up and with one voice say NO!”
