Economically Speaking: Making A Point In Jena
Greetings to the good people traveling to Jena,
Please be aware of the many points that we are attempting to make in Jena Louisiana at this upcoming Thursday’s peaceful rally & march in support of the Jena 6. One of the points we should make is the deliberate act of NOT spending a single penny in Jena.  That’s right, not financially supporting any of the established businesses for that day.  History tells us that the smart demonstrators & Civil Rights activists of the 1950′s & 1960′s did not drop any money in the towns, cities, or communities of protest. It would be pure hypocrisy to pump any $$$ into the local established economy when we arrive. The early unofficial estimates have indicated that our numbers will be between 30,000 -40,000 marchers as this would be some serious cash if we did collectively spend our money. If we can be disciplined enough NOT to spend any funds for a day in Jena, would in itself be a moral victory for the identity of the event and would show the town officials, deep rooted businesses, & corrupt administration that we can make a point & that’s what we intend to do. If you need to spend money during your trip, do make sure to load up before you arrive in Jena with food, snacks, + bottled water for the buses, cars, etc…. Just ask yourself could you really consume the cooked food or drink the water given to you in Jena or for that matter the surrounding respective Parrish when your arrive?   These are some issues that need to be addressed ASAP if you have not already done so. Enjoy this ride into history. Â
P.S. We must realize that all of the townspeople are not our intended target, and there are some decent residents in Jena, however we must not let this incident go unchallenged.Â
