Occupy Sandy Relief NYC: A Model to Remember

First posed in FB 11/12/12:


Last night, representatives from The National Guard, the Bloomberg administration, and the NYPD attended Occupy Sandy Relief NYC's center in powerless Red Hook to assess and learn from the movement's efforts.

Glenn Nisall, a 53-year-old homebound man living in the Rockaways without power and no family to help him. Occupy Sandy volunteers brought him hot food and water. "I said: 'Occupy? You mean Occupy Wall Street?' I said: 'Awesome, man. I'm one of the 99 percent, you know?'"
