The Occupy Puppet Theater has really taken off, and today Occupy The Stage participated in a Charivari against Austerity. The Puppet Theater was involved along with our latest "banker" puppet who printed his own money and denied several bystanders the opportunity to open an account.
Creative Props included a birdcage stuffed with  spray-painted orange dolls that represented the prison-industrial complex and over-crowded jails and some "Evict the Rich" punching balloons, along with creative signs and hand-made instruments. 


This action was part of  "Solidarity Against Austerity" planned in conjunction with The Gulf Coast People's Convention.


Many of us were "arrested" by one of our own, who was dressed as Federal Reserve Security and blew a whistle.

Below is some footage of our creative expression.

In this clip, small affair avoids being "arrested" in an encounter with the "Federal Reserve security" officer who deemed her guilty of "resisting" everything.

Here is the footage of the banker puppet refusing to allow someone to open an account at our own Federal Reserve where we printed "money."

We thank everyone who came out today and contributed to such an exciting demonstration. Occupy The Stage members look forward to performing more street theater and puppet shows.

Expect Us.

 
 

99% Voting Booth and Occupy Puppet Theater - Nov 6

Why? Because our two party political system can not produce candidates who represent the people!

Where? On the neutral ground on Orleans Avenue between N. Alexander and N. Murat. This is near the polling location at Dilbert Elementary School 
but is 600 feet away (see RS 18:1462 and 600 feet law regarding polling locations here)

All people who live in Louisiana are welcome to vote at the 99% Election Booth including:
•    those under the age of 18
•    those serving felony sentences
•    non-citizens
•    those judicially declared mentally incompetent

Unlike the State of Louisiana, The 99% Voting Booth welcomes write-in candidates!
