An Occupy group in Madison, Wisconsin helping the Homeless.......



Happening NOW: An Occupy group in Madison, Wisconsin just cut the ribbon to open a new community of tiny houses for the homeless. The community includes 9 tiny homes, a resource center, and a gardening space. No one should have to be homeless in the world's richest country. Pass this along if your city should follow Occupy Madison's inspiring example! Like our page US Uncut!

OM Build was only made possible by dedicated volunteers and generous donors from around the country. If you want to learn more and possibly contribute, please visit Occupy Madison's website: http://occupymadisoninc.com/

1. But but but .....

According to some of the hippy bashing conservadems on this site occupy is worthless because they don't support right wing democrats.

9. The cheerleaders have shit on Occupy from the beginning.

They didn't like it when we (legitimately) criticized "my precious".

They'll take conservaDems over a people's movement every time.

It's all about their team & staying loyal to a broken system.

4. They're bigger than they look in that photo

There's a nice slideshow here with some interior shots:

Not exactly spacious, but there's room for a bed, a table, a bathroom, and a tiny kitchen area with a sink and microwave -- and even some floor space left over.
