Occupy Palermo: Homeless families organize

Our Housing Plan: OCCUPY EVERYTHING
OUR HOUSING PLAN: OCCUPY EVERYTHING!
This was a manifesto I found plastered to the front of the train station this morning, a place where the homeless, at least many of them, the single men, gather to accept food donations at night and sleep wrapped in blankets under the portico where they can stay out of the rain. it announces a citizens' meeting in the council room of town hall, the mayor's offices at 4 p.m. tomorrow, Good Friday, the exact time I am supposed to meet up with Mayor Leoluca Orlando to walk with him in the Procession of the Dead Christ and the Sorrowful Madonna, a centuries-old religious ritual. Public relations vs. real issues of life and death and housing for families.
