Thanks for joining me on day 29, other posts in this series can be found here

I uhmed and ahed about this post because I try not to get political on the blog because politics are such a touchy subject. But right now with the occupy movement continuing way beyond what the media said they would, showing time and time again that they are not "fornicating hippies" and that they have a reason for doing what they do its hard to not have this come up at all at some point.

I was talking to a friend last night who expressed frustration at not being able to join in, she like me has young children, and she, like me, is terrified of being there when the cops show up. Experience has shown they are not the best people to have around at a peaceful protest.

I was going to embed a video of the police violence during the occupy protest but found this instead:

I started looking through the posters and flyers available and did not find one that enabled me to express solidarity to the movement, that maybe would help spread the message and hopefully (as with all my statement bags and buttons) would become a conversation starter.

I made a few simple posters with the words "My H<3rt is @ #occupy

My friend and I never do anything big for each other for the holidays always something silly or small and never for Christmas or yule but somehow always beforehand. So this morning I sent her a bunch of iron on sheets with this printed on it so she can show solidarity to her hearts content. I used twitter hashtags on purpose because I think both twitter and camera phones have shaped this movement so much and allowed it to grow as quickly as it has. CAmera phones have allowed much violence to be documented that would otherwise not be documented. It has allowed people from all over the world to be right there when it happend even if they couldn't be there.

I am the 99% and we will be heard
