My apologies to those who don't use FB and/or hate it. It's the largest neutral site (not overtly political) I know of to show how many people support something (other than a petition, of course).
ASAHers, I'm posting here now and will repost in GD later. If I can't get really encouraging numbers in the next day or two, I should probably delete the FB page so as to not give right-wingers more grist for their hate-filled mill.
This page is a small way to show support and focus on OWS's message of peace, going against the latest MSM meme, saying OWS supporters are okay with violence and vandalism.
Below is the description of Occupiers for Peace. If you agree, and if you're on FB, please *like* the page and share with others (people are liking my personal post and the image but not the page itself...oy...lol). Please share with your local Occupy group as well in case they're on FB (most of the Occupy networks have a presence on FB).:hippie:
Thanks....:grouphug:
OCCUPIERS FOR PEACE
Page dedicated to supporters of the Occupy Movement who condemn violence and support PEACEFUL demonstrations!!!
In light of the mainstream media reports of violence at Occupy (Occupy Wall Street) protests, let's gather to show our support FOR peaceful demonstrations. We condemn ALL violence and vandalism, both on the part of the police in some cities, as well as any alleged Occupy supporters who have acted shamefully.
We realize there are agent provocateurs at many locations as one source of violence and vandalism. However, with a movement this size there are inevitably a small number of those who seek to create chaos through violence though also they are supporting the movement. They are not.
The VAST majority of Occupy Supporters and Activists realize the importance of this remaining a peaceful revolution!!!
Let's show the naysayers, especially the mainstream media outlets (owned by the same monied interests OWS is protesting), how many of us stand with PEACEFUL, non-violent resistance against the current systems which benefit the few, as we work toward a more just, compassionate society.
