How To Help Occupy DC(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Hats and coats, tarps and tents. These are some of the items occupiers in McPherson Square need most as the days get shorter and the temperature drops. What began as a few people with signs on park benches has turned into a tent city full of OccupyDC activists looking to give voice to a revolt against corporate control. As the occupation's needs grow, supporters are finding ways to help. Restaurants have sent over food and office workers downtown are stopping by to drop off first aid supplies and bags of food. To coordinate this outpouring of support, occupiers have set up a donation website. Food and water continue to be essential, as are clothing and supplies to help keep occupiers warm and dry. Financial contributions are always helpful; OccupyDC has set up an account where supporters can donate online through WePay or PayPal (to donate@occupydc.org). The occupation in Freedom Plaza is also accepting donations, which are specified on their website.
