Occupy Backwards - Kensington Market

Going Going Gone
photo taken by Chris Minos
This is a message from Occupy Holiday Seasons regarding the upcoming mic check at the Eaton Centre. We are meeting on Saturday, December 17th, at 1:30 at Yonge and Dundas square to get organized and we will go into Eaton Centre to mic check for 2:00. Its my understanding there is no action this Saturday, so hopefully we can get 100+ people out. 

Hope to see everyone out this Saturday!!

Toronto Occupied - St. James Park

St. James Park 
Bike Spotting
Photo taken by Martin Reis

Wednesday November 23,  8:00 AM- Last night my laptop was charging in logistics while I slept, but when I awoke to go get my laptop it was gone and the place looked ram sacked. I have gathered my belonging and put them in one spot off the park property and onto private property. The people with gas vehicles came and started breaking down our make shift homes and began throwing our stuff in the garbage truck....to be continued. On November 25 I received good news about laptop #2, that it was found. When It was finally recovered it was without a battery and its charger. Now am sitting in a conference room with 7 other occupiers and the live stream close by. What are we here for only some of us found out that the room was given us by a union for us to continue our work some told me. Cool I though as I dropped my bags to the carpet floor and hung the jacket I was wearing over 2 more.

Monday      October    17, 9:30 PM , the rain began to fall and traffic just kept coming after me. At least that is what it felt like at times when I seem to focus. Finally am here St James Park to see a pitched tent area beside a gigantic church building next it. Scores of sign tell pieces of arguments that could on into the night

Backwards Rider Private Charity

A council man said to me if you want something good to say this and he said it better than most people that I have heard comment on Ford, Mayor of Toronto. He said and I quote. 

"Fordwards is backwards and Backwards is forward"



"Hey, hey" shouts two police officers hanging out behind St. Michaels Hospital as I begun my ride today to find a place to eat breakfast. With hardly any strength in me and with and exhaust pipes at ground level, I never even bothered to look then answer to "hey, hey".  Like am going to start my day being entangle with a bunch of  "Bull S" meanwhile auto polluters casually zip by . By 3pm a young kid comes close to me while I spoke with a man that commented as we travelled in the same direction. The kid said that he read a post someone  graigslist "looking for backwardsrider" am not sure what that is about but the post as the kid started a search for the post again to show me he said it was removed by author. 


 "hey, hey"

As 4:30 pm came a brother again I met around Alexandria Pool on Spadina south of College St.. He was happy to see me and I was too. A Haitian who knows how to ride his bicycle backwards. We are now friends and were happy to be in one anothers company.

                                             Aug 10
"Hey" said a female officer as they held a driver for a stop. Then the male officer went on like he wanted to come after me to harras me.. One officer when he turn to the other officer charge him and when what appeared to transpire as I road  my bicycle by was a no. But when the same officer seem to hear what she said he said your not going to give him a ticket he backed off try to leave the scene he was already dealing with to come after me as I make my way back to the art space I find myself working out of to finish more pieces..

Sponsorship

What you are going to make a donation towards?
A green social network. Private Charitable Organization

How will the funds get to the project ?
Pay per view Via Paypal/ Direct Deposit 

When will you be able to sponsor ?
As the backwards rider gets on his bicycle something like sensory devices makes the button online flash. You will be able to see live through the backwards ryder webcam and even interact with people in his environment and as he cycles cross the land. Or the rider may start a chat from the streets. How exciting!

Why will backwards rider need a sponsor ?
Every ride done should be covered before by the potential interest of viewers a brief description on what the next trip may entail, possibly route, distance, weather and what the title(cause) of the run is. For example last year we made a pladge and never met our goal. Preparedness by being equiped with correct sponsorship is one of what we seek for support the most. "SICKKIDS FOUNDATION" etc.
