Occupy Wall Street put out a call on Facebook and Twitter today for people to “donate or purchase brooms, mops, squeegees, dust pans, garbage bags, power washers and any other cleaning supplies.”
The group which has been camping out in lower Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park for more than three weeks is trying to preempt the cleaning of the park that is scheduled for Friday.
“They’re going to use the cleanup to get us out of here,” said 25-year-old Justin Wedes. “It’s a de facto eviction notice.”
Occupy Wall Street is vowing to stay in the park and says they will try to prevent the cleaning crews from entering.
“Friday morning, we’ll awake and position ourselves with our brooms and mops in a human chain around the park, linked at the arms,” the group posted on its Facebook page. “If NYPD attempts to enter, we’ll peacefully, non-violently stand our ground, and those who are willing will get arrested.”
In a statement on Wednesday, Deputy Mayor Cas Holloway said the protest, “created unsanitary conditions and considerable wear and tear on the park.” He explained that Brookfield Properties, the real estate company that owns the park, asked for police assistance to empty the park in order for it to be cleaned.
According to a notice from Brookfield Properties the cleaning is scheduled to begin at 7 a.m. on Friday....

“but resist we much… we must… and we will much… about… that… be committed.”
Good. Now Bloomberg will be forced to arrest them.
I sure hope this will be on TV. If not can you go to the cctv system in New York and look at this pile of filth through a traffic cam? My internet to slow to be able to do that.
Gee, just in time to take media away from the Solyndra hearings...
Get ready for some major Friday afternoon news dumpage!
A Rachel Corrie moment?
yea weird hey how this supposed plot has nearly gone away, FandF has hardly been mentioned or even the green energy solar pay back scams
but hey a couple of hundred flea lice infested rats hold hands because they don’t want to be removed out of their shanty town is big news.
Weird hey how it could be reported for weeks that homosexuals might not serve openly but the debt, money being wasted, green scams, gun running, plots to kill us , Iran Libya are all on the back burner.
yea the elft and their media are sure not biased.
I doubt these people even own any brooms or mops, much less know what they're used for.
It would be great if the Tea Party groups in the areas where the Occupy protests are being held went in and cleaned up after them.
.
If this was a Tea Party protest, there wouldn’t be a need for the city to call for a cleanup.
If you do that, the street sweepers union will have a grievance against you and you’ll have to go anyhow.
Follow every Occupy with a ground (and palate) cleansing Tea Party? Why not?
The likely believe that their moms will come down and show them how to hold it.
A mop would be virtually useless there. You mop smooth floors, not sidewalks.
This probably won’t have a pretty conclusion...
There was just a thread yesterday from an article from CNBC or something talking about wonderfully clean everything is there and everyone is doing their chores, etc.
I can't beLIEVE that wasn't true! *snort* and heavy, heavy sarcasm.
“Occupy Wall Street put out a call on Facebook and Twitter today for people to “donate or purchase brooms, mops, squeegees, dust pans, garbage bags, power washers and any other cleaning supplies.””
Their moms have been cleaning their rooms all of their lives and all of a sudden they are buying mops and dust pans.
Brookfield Management was finally exposed and they wanted to disassociate themselves from this.
Personally I am entertained by them hanging out in NYC, sleeping on concrete, eating bad food, drinking bad wine and defecating wherever. Sounded like the weekends I spent in line at MSG for concert tickets.
After their shake down job done for the Democrate plantation, it only was a matter of time that this would happen and for good measure: ultimately they are temporarily needed before being thrown again under the bus to die a meth-head’s “life” under a bridge.
