Jay Smooth has a powerful, honest and thoughtful take on the OWS protests. It’s been great to be in Northern California during these weeks because I’ve witnessed diverse, passionate and determined activism. The only other Hawaiian I encountered here is Kealoha Blake in Berkeley and he’s quite an inspiration. He brings such aloha to his work with these activists… it’s easy to get a contact high off people like these OWS folks! When I saw this YouTube post I thought it captured a lot of what I’ve seen and felt here in Oakland, Berkeley and San Francisco. If only Us Guyz in Hawaii Nei would get our minds around self determination… oh my brudahz and sistaz, how so much of this world we inhabit would stand with us in solidarity!
Anywayz, this is a nice piece. Have a look.
