Occupy South Bend

This is a video depicting my evening on November 4th, 2011. I wanted to find out more about South Bend's Occupy Movement, and I wanted to maybe help out. At the beginning of the video, I pick up some packages of hand warmers. I took those out to the people who would be sleeping over night in the 30 degree weather to show my support. It was the best I could do.

I grew up in South Bend until 2006, now I live in southern California where I am involved with my own Occupy. I am humbled to know that if I had only heard the recording of this and saw no evidence of location, I could honestly believe this was any of the occuprations I have visited. This is happening everywhere, there is a common voice-- not always a common message, but the scene remains the same. However, I am jealous of the Mayor's calm, relaxed involvement. Here they avoid us as a policy

@xvsoothsayer I was so glad to have the opportunity to film all these people. It was humbling to see everyone there calmly discuss things, and even though they all had varying views on why they should be out there, they all respected each other's opinions.

The mayor was such an unexpected surprise. It shows that someone is listening, if only out of interest or respect.
