I totally agree: Occupy folks who now, as a condition of their probation, have to stay away from Dewey…To do actions that of necessity exclude them leaves me feeling  uncomfortable.
 
I like this: circle of light could begin at Dewey and then spiral out in a way that unites with the people who can no longer be at that physical place.

I have some votive holders and beeswax candles we could use.

It's also possible to line up small brown paper bags filled with sand and set  small candles in them--very low tech and beautiful.

With all these plans, I'm concerned about the Occupy folks who now, as a condition of their probation, have to stay away from Dewey.
To do  actions that of necessity exclude them leaves me feeling  uncomfortable. 

I'm wondering if we should focus on a gesture, a symbol (mic check?), an energy rather than a place.

Or maybe the circle of light could begin at Dewey and then spiral out in a way that unites with the people
who can no longer be at that physical place.

What do the rest of you think?
