Occupy Everywhere - Sept 17th - Day of Rage Against Wall Street and what it stands for!
While I keep this updated best I can of what I consider to be a very important movement, with posts both by, for and occasionally against OWS and Occupy, I'd be interested and welcome others posting or commenting on posts, as they see fit. It now seems to be on some search engines as a choice on keeping up on the Occupy Movement - and there are many - so some not on our Forum seem to be regularly following it or catching it here and there - perhaps only once.
While the Occupy Movement is far, FAR from extinct, the very visible and larger occupations were to a large extent decimated by the Police in various cities. Not all; and even in those removed the Movement continues with indoor meetings, GAs, group meetings and planning, actions, livestreaming, etc. There are big plans mostly in the D.C. area on January 16, 17, 18 and much excitement about the coming Spring when most, if not all, destroyed physical occupations will attempt re-occupations at previous or new locations. Occupy is also increasingly becoming involved or relevant to upcoming elections - including the Presidential one and may become a decisive factor in many of them. The press continues [for the most part] to declare its demise and growing lack of public support - something I find quite the opposite of the truth.
Anyway, feel free to post significant items I've missed or your reactions to those I've posted - even just your thoughts/hopes/fears about the Occupy Movement and its prospects in the coming year and beyond. It is my belief the the 'apparent' diminution of visibility is mostly attributable to the Winter, the destruction of physical occupations and the intentional assignation in the MSM. Spring will show OWSs real power, IMO - and the fourth month anniversary events in DC are expected to be large and cause quite a stir among the Powers That Be. Stay tuned.
