I was just thinking about how every time I bring kids to protests, they are photographed and filmed a LOT. When we have people provide childcare at the occupation, we'll need to ask parents if it's ok that their child is photographed, and if their name can be given to media outlets.
Also, seeing how much scrutiny this movement is under, we need to be aware of how the kid's area looks to the media. People can be really judgmental about kids at protests. Of course we'll keep it safe and fun for them, but the fact that we probably will be filmed should be in our heads as we set up camp.
OK, just a couple things I thought of, and didn't want to forget to bring up.
