Cultivating Community

We have to create. It is the only thing louder than destruction.

The Occupy Austin Guerrilla Garderners got together this morning and reclaimed some land for the people.  We brought the logs from a field near my house, but were able to find the footstones (and the water) in the creek right behind this space. 

We ripped up the weeds with shovels, laid compost, and planted many seeds.  Assuming this garden is not destroyed by the city, soon there will be broccoli, lettuce, cabbage, and radishes growing here.

Reclaim the commons.  Reclaim food.  Reclaim your body.  Reclaim your birthright to enter into a relationship with your landbase.  Occupy Everywhere.

If you want to Stand4Kids too, send me your photo and we’ll create an ad about what you STAND for, so you can tell the world. ALSO: Join the Facebook group, here, and learn about the project to buy a real billboard in Georgia!

This is true for education and teachers, and students. We need to lose our fears. We must not let fear and also control govern our school system like it does now!

King said in an interview that this photograph was taken as he tried to explain to his daughter Yolanda why she could not go to Funtown, a whites-only amusement park in Atlanta. King claims to have been tongue-tied when speaking to her. “One of the most painful experiences I have ever faced was to see her tears when I told her Funtown was closed to colored children, for I realized the first dark cloud of inferiority had floated into her little mental sky.”
