St. Vincent's Hospital -- Rudin Family #OccupyCB2 -- YouTube Documentary

YouTube Documentary for #OccupyWallStreet activists and other allies.

Facebook Invite for civilian trauma exercise direct action : Monday night, 6 pm, on October 17, 2011 at St. Vincent's Hospital : West 12th Street and Seventh Avenue South : http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=176377512444907

You are invited to participate in the enactment of a mass civilian trauma exercise on the sidewalk outside St. Vincent's Hospital.
Join community members as they plan to organise a field hospital on the sidewalks, form into make-shift blood donation lines, visualise what it would look like to set up alternative decontamination showers, help each other to tie on surgical masks to protect each other from air-bourne particles, and finally to think through what steps would need to be taken to request provisional mass casualty tents. Some of the participants will ''not make it,'' because there is no Level 1 Trauma Center below 14th Street. And it probably takes ambulances over 30 minutes to respond to the Lower West Side of Manhattan, and then it would probably take another 30 minutes for ambulances to drive through busy cross-town traffic to any of the hospitals on the East Side. The ''survivors'' will have to figure out what to do with the "injured" participants Then, a team of survivors will walk over to Grace Church, 86 Fourth Ave., Tuttle Hall, to ask for help from Jason Mansfield, the chair of Manhattan Community Board 2's Environment, Public Safety & Public Health Committee. Community Board 2 is about to approve the rezoning of St. Vincent's to allow the billionaire Rudin Family to convert the hospital into luxury condos. Community residents hope that this civilian trauma exercise will educate and mobilise the public to stop CB2 from approving the dangerous Rudin condo conversion plan for St. Vincent's Hospital. The community's goal is to keep the real estate zoning intact, to attract new hospital investors to restore a full-service hospital at the former site of St. Vincent's. #OccupyCB2

Incredible video. Thank you for telling the story through sound bites about how New Yorkers have been duped by our local politicians, who would rather pay back real estate developers than help save the lives of their own constituents. Politics at its worst!
