Our brothers and sisters are currently weathering this storm in Dewey Square—some in tents, other in sleeping bags wrapped in plastic. Tomorrow morning they will wake up to a field of mud.
There are several things we can bring tomorrow that will make their lives easier and help the occupation continue:
- Chairs and Tarps or Trash Bags – Tomorrow there will be no place to sit down or do work. Help people rest their legs a bit.
- Hot Beverages – Anything to warm people up!
- Clean Sox – Wet feet are going to be a big problem. Any dry sox, or other dry cloths, will be a big help!
- Towels – See Hitchhikers Guide. It’s just good practice.
- Stakes and Rope – We’re going to need a way to dry off wet things, assuming the rain lets up.
- Tall wooden stakes and staples – We’d like to start marking where things are (medical tent, meeting areas, etc), but we need more materials to makes signs.
If you have other ideas please, leave a comment here and we can get the materials we need to the occupation zone.

FWIW the next park to the north behind the air filtration building is more of a sloped hill pouring off into the street. so It might be worth adjourning to the next block until things dry out.
In addition to this list logistics needs these items https://sites.google.com/site/occupyrevolution/what-we-need/tent-supplies-1 to construct canopies for equipment and camping
Hi guys, it’s Margarida,
Hope you guys are warm if not dry..we are thinking about bringing some stuff down before I join you for the day (and while we have a car) how many tarps and how large..do we still need rope, how much more lumber do we need and length..would a saw be helpful??
= )
never mind..i found our list on #occupyboston = )
If you need improvised rain gear, get a large trash bag and make a hole in the bottom (for your head and 2 small holes in the side (arms). It’s not going to be a fashion statement but works. I am keeping updates over the Daily Bail (economics/financial/corruption blog) here..

If anyone would like to post updates, pix or whatever in the comments there please feel free to do that. You have a lot of support and thank you!
I’m way too awake right now, I’m going to hit up the local discount stores and see what I can grab from this list.
Aren’t discount stores generally evil?
Im still at a loss here, what reason are u camping out on a weekend in a park?
We’re protesting the marriage between big business and politics, which undermines our democratic voting system. Politicians can be bought by corporations like Bank of America which just sets up our country for failure. What is the point of voting when one “person” of corporation has more of a voice than the rest of us?
That is why we are camping out on a weekend in a park.
awesome, cassie. 🙂
I have a tent, some rain ponchos and a few other things that I’d like to bring to you guys. Where do I go to get them to who needs them?
9:35am on my way with boxes of Joe and towels
Can somebody email Me where to drop off
rickfrank@me.com
Where to drop off supplies by car?
Rick you can drop off all donations to logistics team or general can be dropped off along the John Fitzgerald prkway by the trees. We will help unload!
After the rain falls, the sun will shine and flowers will bloom from the heart of the city.

^ what she said.
If anyone needs the use of a pickup either in the Boston area, or transporting supplies from the Somerville area, message me. We’ll beheading in shortly.
me@aaronspagnolo.com

Do you still need gloves? I have a few cases of medical gloves that could be used for medical and food sanitation purposes. Let me know and I can deliver!
I can bring some cardboard around 2:30. Will you still need it by then?
Still need a P.A.? Mine is charged, but someone else needs to round up a mic and mic cord (xlr). 50 watts, will be heard in the back. Inputs for mic, instruments, ipod, etc. Will bring car charger but charging could be issue…
Hey Guys,
3 pizzas are waiting for you at Pizza Regina, right near South Station. Just come in and say you’re “from Occupy Boston” and they’ll give it to you.
any update on needed supplies? anything you find you need now, in addition to what’s listed above?
I am a knitter and am knitting hats for you all. Also have some blankets to spare (not all hand-knitted but they are warm). Would this help? I can stop by Dewey tomorrow afternoon. Let me know if this is helpful. If not, I will try to bring more ponchos or whatever you need 🙂
I also may have some extra towels 🙂
Does this list apply for Sunday?… coming down later.
Hey! When we protested in Madison, we had organized so that local businesses could accept payment for food and bring deliver it to the protesters… if you do something like that, even people who can’t come to Boston can support you, and local business gets a boost! 😀
If you need any kind of supplies, check out Freecycle.com in your local area. It’s similar to Craigslist but everything offered is free of charge. You can also put in a WANTED ad for supplies. Please pass this info along.
