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....

NO!!!! Do not clean me!!
Turn on the water hoses! I bet they haven’t had a bath in six months or more!
A human chain sound like an effective tactic. But, where do the hippies plan to get the humans from to form the chain?
This bunch has been allowed to wallow in their own filth in a public park for weeks, preparing and serving food, doing drugs, etc. with nary a remark from the NY Department of Health.

I had 3 children by the time I was 25 and was working 10 hour days to take care of them - and this whiner is sitting around in his own filth complaining about unfair everything is. Boo hoo.

Yeah, silly me. Here I thought they were going to use them to clean the place up so as to avoid eviction!
I smelled the place on Saturday when some of us were there taunting them.
No Tea Party member deserves to have to do that. ;-)
Until a couple weeks ago, 34-year-old Casey O’Neill worked as a data manager in Oakland, California. Now, he lives in a park next to ground zero.
CASEY O’NEILL: I actually quit my job and got a one-way ticket out here for the protests. I just felt like it was really - in a lot ways, this was the last hope for some sort of real change.
At each general assembly, demonstrators echo every word a speaker says, in lieu of loudspeakers. When the crowd likes what it hears, they raise their hands over their heads and wiggle their fingers, like jazz hands. To outsiders passing through, it can look a little strange. But everyone seems to have found a role for themselves, from the men who sweep up the park while riding their skateboards...
