"Happy Birthday Occupy Wall Street ... thoughts on Year One"
Fifteen years ago, I ran across a book, "100 Most Influential People in History," during one of my dalliances to my local Marin County bookstore.

And with social media, it will make it much easier to coordinate the movement. I see people from Occupy Ottawa connecting with people from other Occupy movements. I'm not actively involved, but I visit them and help them as much as I can.I'm amazed how well they organize themselves ... I strongly believe that we are seeing a major shift, although it might take time (foundations of the system are deep).
Got to work, I guess we'll chat some more ...
All the best,
Marta
Hi Marta, let me introduce you to group of Community Stewards who are creating a space for dialoging for Occupy movement. For now, you and I are here representing Canada. We are here, north of the boarder, have a different environment. How can we connect both sided of the boarder and across many borders?
Welcome, Marta! Are you a friend of Maya's, perhaps?
