Tonight, Jane Hamsher, Matt McKinnon of the machinists union and I will be attending the first committee meeting on Winterizing in Washington, DC. It’s starting to get colder in DC, and may of the occupiers will need warmer geer. We’ll try to find out their priorities.

We want to help Calvin and #OccupyDC out by helping them purchase propane to cook with. If you’d like to help us, you can chip in $10 to buy fuel for the propane grills at #OccupyDC. We will be using the money we take in from our coverage fund to purchase propane and other supplies, so that is why we are asking people to donate there.

Jon Walker was livestreaming earlier from McPherson Square in Washington DC, the site of the #OccupyDC protest. Keep checking FDL’s Action site for later livestreaming.

I am in Freedom Plaza. The sun has set. An evening program is happening. Comedian Lee Camp is on the stage making jokes about Afghanistan and the version of US history we teach children in schools. About 200-300 people are down in the plaza tonight.

FDL’s Kevin Gosztola, Jon Walker and Ryan Cook will be livestreaming the #OccupyDC march from Freedom Plaza to the State Department today starting at 12:50 pm. The protesters plan to join the Keystone XL pipeline protesters for the final public hearing on the matter before deciding whether to allow construction to proceed. I’ll be liveblogging the protest here.

Livestream from October 2011

I’m at Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC with Jon Walker and Kevin Gozstola, where we’ll be livestreaming the occupation.
