Activists and those that are concerned about the future of this society in the Philadelphia region, DC, New York, all over New Jersey, and anywhere else, this is a CALL OUT to come protest Governor Chris Christie this Saturday through Wednesday at the Capitol in Trenton, NJ. This protest is an occupation. I will be there Saturday morning. This is #OccupyChristie and Camp #SandyGate. As of late I have not been too big of an electoral politics guy, but this is one Corporate Fascist Bully that I stand against. I will post two articles below: one on his misuse of Federal Hurricane Sandy relief money, and the second by Chris Hedges on Christies general corporate, corrupt, and decadent tendencies. Here are more details of the occupation, lets piss him off!!! In light of the recent disturbing disclosures concerning Governor Chris Christies flagrant misuse of federal Sandy aid money, the collective of storm survivors and their allies who organize under the Occupy Sandy New Jersey banner are calling on residents of New Jersey to join us in Trenton to Occupy outside the Capitol starting this Saturday, January 18th, at noon. We intend to maintain our camp through Chris Christies re-inauguration festivities on Tuesday, January 21st. In particular we invite Sandy survivors to make the trip to Trenton (well help you get here if you reach out: call 609-318-4271 or email [email protected]) to tell your stories to the state and national media already camped out nearby. We know that the people of New Jersey have stories to tell, to Chris Christie and to anyone willing to listen, and we plan to provide a safe space from which to do so. Since our Sandy recovery work continues on a daily basis—indeed, some of our volunteers and organizers may not even be able to make it to Trenton due to responsibilities in the field—this will only be a four day Occupation. However, should the administration fail to quickly fix its broken response to the storm and shift its attention to the states residents who are most in need, we will not rule out returning to Trenton again soon. Governor Christie must understand that the last people he should be bullying right now are Sandy survivors. #OccupyChristie starts at high noon this Saturday at the State Capitol. Bring tents and sleeping bags. To Governor Chris Christie, here is our one demand: do your damn job. https://facebook/events/490811191030334/?ref_newsfeed_story_type=regular
