occupy these photos

Occupy Wall Street started 13 years ago today

11-11-11

Week one at Zuccotti Park.

“no war but class war.” (actually: no war but spiritual war.)


The heartbeat of OWS.


“We have two American flags always: one for the rich and one for the poor. When the rich fly, it means that things are under control; when the poor fly, it means danger, revolution, anarchy.” (Henry Miller)


Thanksgiving 2011.


two people in this photo believe in revolution.


Easily the best and most important work I ever did with OWS was “Occupy Sandy” — when we directly served those hit by SuperStorm Sandy in late 2012.


Occupy Wall Street was very exhilarating at times. Looking back now, I see that its greatest value was leading me away from performative virtue signaling and toward a life of deeper discernment and tangible service.

I remain grateful for the transformative experience.
