If you thought you were seeing things in the fog Thursday morning on the Interstate 5 Ship Canal Bridge, you weren’t.
Early morning fog likely shrouded the message from morning commuters but as the clouds lifted and the 100-foot protest banner urged commuters to “Give a damn.”
University of Washington students posted the banner in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement. And the students seem upset that more folks aren’t reacting.
From their communique:
Many people are watching the Occupy movement cynically from the sidelines, not making the effort to shape the movement for themselves. Seattleites, including UW students facing enormous tuition hikes, are critical of the direction and methods of the movement yet reluctant to help contribute ideas of their own to resolve our community and nation’s unprecedented challenges.
As of noon Thursday, the large banner was still hanging from the bridge.
