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.

Regarding the permit for the December 30th event, Death of the Social Safety Net, which we posted on earlier this week:…
Occupy KC has enjoyed a very open and mutually respectful dialog with the Kansas City police officers who regularly visit our occupation site.

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.

We recently requested a permit for an event on December 30th during which we intend to march in the street. The fee for this permit was set at $4,132, which is about four times the amount of cash we now have on hand. After much discussion, we decided via consensus to propose the following in hopes of reaching a compromise.

Greetings from the 99%! OccupyKC is proud to announce that the We Are One Rally and March—held October 30th, 2011—had high attendance and was successful in its efforts to share a message of diversity and horizontal democracy.
We marched in protest of the deeply entrenched segregation and disparity that pervades our city and our society. We took to the streets to express our rejection of these conditions as well as our recognition that they have kept us divided and our community efforts neutralized.
