Occupy Austin Guerrilla Gardeners make one new public garden every week.  Some have been destroyed the city, others remain and are sprouting vegetables.  We have had run ins with park staff who are confounded by our activities and threaten us with police who never show up. 

We do this to make people rethink notions of food, of where it comes from, of who produces it.  We do this to make people rethink the use of space and the concept of property.  We do this to make people rethink the concept of labor versus employment.  We do this so you will do it to.

I actually tear up over this.

Things we should do in Philly this summer. Who wants to plant carrots in Rittenhouse Park with me?

Occupy done right

I expressed to my aunt that I wanted to do this, and she was angry by the very idea of me vandalizing property that wasn’t mine. I’m going to do it, and I’m going to show her that property is property, people are people, and the people are who we should worry about more.
