Activist Noah McKenna on why he joined Occupy Boston

http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/article/20120315/News/303159924

Mar. 15, 2012

After rallying outside the state transportation building before the meeting, the activists interrupted the start of the public comment period when Noah McKenna led the group in chant: “We say no. No hikes in public transit costs, no cuts to public transit services. No layoffs to public transit jobs. We demand a public transportation system that is accessible to all of the 99 percent for the young and the old, for the working or jobless, the able or the differently able, immigrant or native born, black, Latino, Arab, Asian and white. We are the 99 percent and we will fight for public transportation.”

McKenna also said Occupy Boston and the T Riders Union were planning a rally at the State House on April 4 – the day the board is expected to vote to approve a budget plan to close its $159 million budget gap – in solidarity with similar protests in cities around the country like Chicago and Oakland against public transportation cuts.

“No matter how much we say cuts and hikes are going to hurt our communities, we’ not talking to the right people. The people we need to talk to are in the State House, the Legislature and the governor,” McKenna said. He said deficient transportation funding is a national problem that could be solved with a fraction of the country’s defense budget.

We are the 99 percent and we will fight for [us to have slaves provide us with] public transportation.”
