The main problem with Occupy Wall Street is that there’s no true unification, but there is an attempted structure therein, with general assemblies and working groups getting things done for the community at Liberty Plaza/Zuccotti Park.
I put together a short video covering some of these aspects:
A few more notes:
- I was told that one of the main functions of the ‘Media’ group is to film any potential police brutality.
- One group of people that I didn’t think belonged in this video, but that needs to be mentioned, is the National Lawyers Guild, who maintain a constant presence in their neon green hats. They’re a non-profit organization that “represents progressive political movements”. Protesters write the NLG phone number on their arm with pens or permanent markers to call for legal support if they’re arrested.
