OWS purple workgroup gets its hands on 75 yards of fabric

The OWS purple workgroup got a hold of 75 yards of light purple fabric and brought it down to liberty plaza.

A team quickly gathered to cut it up into about a thousand strips.

Supporters enthusiastically grabbed them up and promised to spread the word about New Glory Purple within a few hours all of them were gone! Russell Simmons came by to see what was going on and took a strip, also Jerry of the Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream herd the story and is sporting a New Glory Purple tie.

There were a lot of great people who helped and thank you! Here's a picture of Mike Villata, Christopher Henze and Alan Feingenberg.

This means that about 2000 pieces of fabric are being used by supporters as armbands, headbands, bracelets and more.
