From my buddy Dallas #ows #occupytogether...
Hello Grim,
“A survey by The Associated Press found that during the first two months of the nationwide Occupy protests, the movement that is demanding more out of the wealthiest Americans cost taxpayers at least $13 million in police overtime and other municipal services.”
This is very misleading; this cost associated with OWS movement is a choice local government took upon themselves. It is...

The Tyranny of Authority
Recent dialogue between Occupy LA and the city imploded because representatives of City Hall were bargaining in bad faith. The resolution that was passed by City Hall on 10/13/11 clearly states many of the reasons why Occupy LA continues to reside in the public park around City Hall. The resolution can be found here:...

I #occupywallstreet because I believe, at the root of my heart, that there are better ways in which we could support and care for people. I believe that corporations run world governments with little thought to the wreckage left in their wake.
Both the American birth rate and life expectancy are declining; people are being crushed by debt; schools are in crisis; people are being tossed out of...

An idea entered my head One that I thought was dead I heard an eerie voice Saying I must make a choice Do I stay in the dark In an illusion that is stark Or do strive for the bright And put up a marvelous fight?

#Occupy Your Block #ows #occupywallstreet
Occupy Wall Street calls upon New York to take to the neighborhoods. The Occupy movement is far more than a physical occupation. What began as the act of a few occupying a physical space has now far transcended Liberty Park, or McPherson Square in Washington DC, or Oscar Grant Plaza in Oakland. Rather, we recognize that this spark of resistance, hope, and possibility has ignited thousands...
