Yesterday, Sunday evening 11/20, Washington Square Park:
Carrying large blue and yellow tents on poles, people streamed to the park last night. The colorful tents lit up Washington Square, spreading messages such as “Occupy to Liberate” and”Foreclose on Banks, Not People, and “You Cannot Evict An Idea Whose Time Has Come.”

A couple of hours later …
Anaïs Mitchell performed last night at Le Poisson Rouge with last minute special guest, Ani Di Franco. After the show, the two singers, joined by audience members and others, marched from the venue on nearby Bleecker Street to WSP, singing along the way. This was around 10… 11 p.m. Nicely, no overbearing police presence.
