Occupy Missoula Needs IMMEDIATE HELP

PARTICIPATE: Locate Occupy Events in YOUR area--WORLDWIDE!!

PARTICPATE NOV 24: Occupied Thanks Giving
Plan to cook ONE extra VEGETABLE, BREAD OR DESSERT dish this Thanksgiving & deliver it to YOUR Local Occupy by 2pm.

****PARTICIPATE NOV 25: Blanket the Earth
The idea: on November 25, the day after Thanksgiving, people will gather in designated spots in cities around the country where there are encampments of OWS protesters.
They will have warm weather gear to donate to the protesters. This can be blankets, socks, sleeping bags, hand and foot warmers, sweaters, or anything you think can be used to keep the camping protesters warm throughout the winter. The items can be secondhand (and clean, you know). New items can be purchased whenever, preferably not on the exploitative day coined by marketers as "Black Friday."
The goal here is to show our support not just through the kindness of monetary donations, but by being physically present to demonstrate that we're here for the protesters.
Blanket the Earth at Facebook

PARTICIPATE NOV 25 (& throughout the holiday season): OCCUPY BLACK FRIDAY
Let's take a day that is all about consumption and make it our own, and let's make it loud and clear that we will not support the corporations that destroyed our economy and undermined our Republic.Instead of a "Buy Nothing Day" we'll have a "Buy Local Day." Instead of buying a bunch of useless crap, let's instead go out and help the poor. Volunteer at soup kitchens and host toy drives and do the other charitable things that the government refuses to do. A season of giving instead of a season of buying.

PARTICIPATE if you haven't already Operation Cash Back/Bank Transfer Day
FIND A CREDIT UNION & World Council of Credit Unions

Reader Supported News: OWS Organizers Blast MoveOn (10.15.11)

Occupy Alexandria protest is sparse and quiet

In what was quite possibly the smallest rally of the Occupy movement, about 10 drenched demonstrators gathered at Old Town’s Market Square before heading off to their parent-protest in Washington’s McPherson Square Tuesday.
Most of them walked from Richmond, where they left seven days prior.
“We’ve just been talking to people, a lot of people, literally the whole way,” said demonstrator Burt Ritchie. “People can’t talk to each other anymore and that’s what we’re trying to change.”

Occupy Bournemouth protest moves to new site

How Stearns verifies journalists arrested at Occupy protests

Josh Stearns describes how he has tracked and, equally important, verified reports of journalists being arrested at Occupy protests around the country. “I decided early on that I wasn’t going to quibble about who is a journalist, and who isn’t. My goal was to account for anyone who was clearly committing acts of journalism when they were arrested. However, I also recognize that to hold police and city officials accountable for these arrests, those being arrested had to identify as journalists publicly – either with some form of credentials or verbally,” Stearns writes. In one case, he removed a journalist from his list after learning that the person was participating in the protests, not covering them.
