A quick point of process, this means point of process, so if you see somebody go on
track of what we're discussing, feel like this, help try to remind them to stay on topic. If you agree and set a clock in, we got a little wavy fingers we were doing this last week. What do the wavy fingers mean? The wavy fingers mean you're in accord with this. Yeah, like you're all about that.
This is clarification, this means you're in agreement, this is point of process, stay on track, and point of information if you have something relevant.
To address the concern about actually occupying the space, I think it's important that we resolve to stay through winter if we do this at all.
If we stand down, they will turn this inside out. If we stand down, they will turn this inside out. We can't stand down. We must stand up. Stand up here. Stand up here. Always, always insist. Never leave the square. Never leave Niagara Square. Never leave Niagara Square.
Always ten people, always twenty people, always thirty people, and forty people. Now with the resources they come in from the unions, if we show solidarity, they will help us.
They will help us. They will help us. They will help us. They will help us. They will help us. So help ourselves. So help ourselves. Let us not stand down. Let us take the square, always.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It connects every single person in this crowd of people, our basic needs.
How are we going to address those once we get to this square?
I am not prepared to stay here today.
I don't know if anybody else is.
If they are, God bless you.
Or atheists bless you.
I don't give a shit.
But we cannot get up here and fire people up and say, occupy, occupy, occupy,
when we don't have a plan.
I live in Niagara Falls.
Last week, before I came here, I went to Joe Davis State Park, climbed a pear tree,
and took 50 pears and brought them here.
Because people are going to be hungry here.
If somebody has blankets, we need blankets here.
We need tarps.
We need these things to stay warm and stay together.
That is what we need to discuss before we get an idea of, yeah, let's occupy.
Well, let's do it smart.
Let's do it intelligently.
I don't want to see some flash in the pan occupation where we're here for four hours,
then we get discouraged, we get afraid, and we walk away.
Because Fox News, CNN, Channel 7, Channel 2, Channel 4, they will eat that fuck,
and then will destroy us from the inside out.
I would propose, before we have a proposal for occupation, this group is too big.
Why don't we split up into our basic needs?
Discussion to go into our basic needs.
Form a committee.
There you go.
A committee so we can address the needs of the people.
Propose the formation of a committee.
Well, we got to finish the first proposal first.
We got to get individual people to come up and talk about individual shit before we can do group stuff.
All right, we're gonna do it.
I think it's a girl.
People's fine.
People's fine.
My check.
My check.
My check.
My check.
Can you hear me?
People's fine.
This is just a reality check.
This is just a reality check.
I leave my house for work at seven.
I get voted five.
I leave my house for work at seven.
I get voted five.
It's going to be dark at seven and it's going to be dark at five.
It's going to be dark at seven, it's going to be dark at five.
The other thing is there's the women in black stand vigil on Elmwood every Saturday at noon.
They've done it for years and years and years, we all know they're there.
They're there. They're occupying.
They're occupying. One hour each week.
I'm just saying I don't know how many people you're going to have.
Can everyone hear me?
To touch on the occupation idea.
We all want to occupy.
Then I believe.
I think it's a great idea.
And all we need to do is work out caves.
To touch on the point that she just made.
It will be dark in the morning. It will be dark when we get out of work.
So I say we stay.
Even after it's dark.
A lot of us work.
A lot of us work.
A lot of us don't.
We can all stand together.
And help this movement grow.
Even if you have an hour free.
A daily bus commute home.
Stop off, help relieve people here.
And you are just as important.
Thank you for your time.
This is so awesome.
That we stand here in daylight hours.
And continue to occupy Niagara Square.
We need some attention.
We need people to sign up to say I can do from one to two.
I can do from three to four.
I can do from eleven to twelve.
We need a form of committee about this too.
There seems to be some restlessness.
Over the actual logistics of how to do this.
Who here is willing to take shifts?
Who here is willing to bring food?
Who here is willing to come on your day off?
Anyone else?
Everyone ready to vote?
Let's summarize one more time when we are voting on Occupy Buffalo.
We are voting on Occupy Buffalo.
Occupy Buffalo.
We'll occupy Niagara Square right here.
During the daylight hours.
In perpetuity.
What does that mean?
Starting today.
That looks like it's alright by here.
That's the proposal we are voting on.
Back to Neck, he's facilitating.
Let's vote.
All in favor of the proposal.
Do we have any blocks?
Right here.
This is all about corporate control of America.
We are making the vice grip on the people as one people.
