As Occupy Atlanta Is Evicted, The City Has Nation’s Widest Income Gap Between The Rich And Poor

Earlier this week, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed abruptly uprooted the protesters at Occupy Atlanta, arresting more than 50 demonstrators. State Sen. Vincent Fort (D), who was arrested with demonstrators, blasted Reed for the move, saying, "This is the most peaceful place in Georgia. At the urging of the business community, he s moving people out. Shame on him."

Occupy Wall Street: Keep your eyes on the prize

The Occupy Movement that is spreading like a prairie fire worldwide is attracting critics who want it to take on every issue on every agenda: healthcare, campaign financial reform, environmental concerns and the like. All are important and all are, on some level, interconnected - but when you try to do everything, you can easily end up doing nothing. Instead of sending out a clear message, you diffuse it, losing clarity and confusing the public.

When Will the Oakland Police Learn

The ACLU of Northern California and the National Lawyers' Guild demanded a full investigation of yesterday's events. The groups also asked OPD to immediately produce records about the use of force in responding to the early morning raid of the Occupy Oakland encampment and the evening demonstration. The public has a right to transparency and accountability, and yesterday's events are no exception. The ACLU-NC is also urging people to email the Oakland Police Department calling for transparency and an end to excessive use of force.

Occupy Wal Street sympathizer creates :I’M getting arrested” app to help protesters avoid police

An Occupy Wall Street sympathizer created a free smartphone application to help demonstrators avoid getting arrested.

‘Occupy’ camps provide food, shelter for homeless

When "Occupy Wall Street" protesters took over two parks in Portland's soggy downtown, they pitched 300 tents and offered free food, medical care and shelter to anyone. They weren't just building, like so many of their brethren across the nation, a community to protest what they see as corporate greed.

For tea party and Occupy Wall Street movements, some common ground

Wayne Schissler walked the four blocks from his workplace to the small Occupy Allentown protest to show the young demonstrators that a tea party member is not a monster. What he learned after a few hours of talk surprised him. "They didn't stink, and they weren t on drugs," he said. "I could see me being them, 30 years ago."

Innovative “Direct Action” Key to Occupy Wall Street

One of the more vexing issues for people looking at Occupy Wall Street (OWS) from the outside has been the movement's reluctance to adhere to the norms of established politics - in particular, the refusal to elect spokespeople who communicate a set list of demands. If we ask why this is the case, the answer brings us to the idea of "direct action," a concept which should be examined a much greater length than it has been by the media thus far.

The Strategic Brilliance of Facelessness

The Occupy Wall Street Movement has sometimes been criticized for having no demands and no distinct leader. However, this is one of its strengths. Leaders can be discredited on an individual basis, though in the days before all of our new social and mobile technology, it may have been necessary to operate close to the center with leaders and manifestos. Social media does that work now.

Mayor Bloomberg had good reasons to back-off from Occupy Wall Street’s Zuccotti Park cleanup plan

Mayor Bloomberg never wanted this fight - and never wanted to pick a side. Politically and financially he couldn't afford a messy public showdown with hundreds of arrests. And, personally, he was somewhere in the middle. The billionaire business mogul is one of Wall Street's staunchest defenders and his advisers say he was becoming increasingly worried the protesters' message could seriously harm one of the city's most important industries.

Meet the Guy Who Snitched on Occupy Wall Street to the FBI and NYPD

The Occupy Wall Street protests have been going on for a month. And it seems the FBI and NYPD have had help tracking protesters' moves thanks to a conservative computer security expert who gained access to one of the group's internal mailing lists, and then handed over information on the group's plans to authorities and corporations targeted by protesters.

Stop NYC from Evicting Occupy Wall Street

Signs are strong that Mayor Bloomberg is finally trying to evict the Occupy Wall Street protesters from Zuccotti Park under the ruse of a thorough park cleaning. As Matt Browner Hamlin reports on the AmericaBlog, Bloomberg and Brookfield, which owns the formerly public park, are asking protesters to vacate Zuccotti Plaza in stages tomorrow, Friday, so the park can be cleaned. The problem is that after the cleaning, strong new restrictions about what would and would not be allowed back into the plaza after the cleaning would prevail with sleeping bags, tents and even lying down within Zuccotti Park banned.

Occupy Wall Street Newcomers bring their worries and hopes to New York protest

All three arrived in the early morning at a small park in Lower Manhattan, a concrete square edged by skyscrapers and hot-dog carts that has become a destination for thousands of people who are enraged by unemployment, greed on Wall Street and the increasing wealth gap. What began three weeks ago as a small college protest and then grew into a circus of hippies, misfits and anarchists is now trying to grow into something else: a populist movement for economic change.

Occupy Wall Street: A historical perspective

I think what s going on is very interesting precisely because this kind of protest has been so absent for the last 25 or 30 years. We are well advanced in what ought to be called the second Gilded Age, resembling the first Gilded Age of the late 19th century when capitalism developed very quickly and powerfully and the extremes between rich and poor became very great.

Occupy Seattle Protesters Face Off Against Target in Westlake Park

One of the demonstrators, Christina Purington, 27, of Seattle, said she's unemployed, has struggled to find medical treatment for severe nerve damage in her back, and doesn't plan on leaving until she's forced out of the park. "I went from a productive, tax-paying citizen, an office worker, to just living off credit cards," said Purington, who lost her dot com job when a larger company bought hers out and shut it down. "Big business totally fucked my life over."

Three Babies, Four Dogs, Two Breasts, and No Radiohead

The class war began at the corner of Broadway and Cedar St., as Wall Street's bankers waited for a bus and Wall Street's occupiers, for a revolution. What had begun two weeks ago as an unfocused rabble of ragtag discontents had become a still-unfocused rabble of ragtag discontents"but way bigger. The culprit: Radiohead. Rumors of a surprise solidarity concert had brought the huddled masses streaming in from Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and Bushwick. The crowd in Zuccotti Park, occupation-central, bulged outwards, spilling into the bus stop, tivas scuffing shined loafers and graphic tees dueling paisley ties.

Who Is Donating to Keep it Afloat

The Occupy Wall Street movement has not only inspired people to take to the streets, but to open their own wallets to support the cause - many using mobile payment site WePay. On Oct. 10, WePay had recorded more than $81,000 sent to groups associated with Occupy Wall Street. Just 17 days later, that number grew by 301% to more than $325,000, according to WePay, whose trove of data reveals who these donors are and where all that money is going.
