Though windy and cold, December 30th was a beautiful, sunny day for a rally.  Death of the Social Safety Net—the Occupy KC rally fashioned after a New Orleans Jazz Funeral—focused its message on the failure of our elected officials to ensure the security of our country’s Social Services.

Today’s event went swimmingly; more soon.

In the meantime, see this article in the KC Star and feel free to send a link to your photos to media@occupykc.net with your attribution preference.

This is not just any funeral.

The banks broke the economy and now politicians are trying to balance the government’s debt on the backs of seniors, the poor, the working class, disabled and students by making massive cuts to our hard-earned social safety net – social security, Medicare and Medicaid, student aid, unemployment insurance, social services and more.
