Thanks for the intell Justin. I always wanted to know that information. I a sure that photo you have there that read "I founded occupy wall street" really made great press.

Come on folks. Introduce yourselves.
Ulrike Beudgen Thu 8 May 2014 9:22PM
Not sure, if I should write here, as I am not in the USA ... I am just looking for informations to forward to my German (and perhaps european) friends in occupy, Blockupy and refugee-Movement ... :)

Ulrike, you are welcome here! Glad to share any information we have.
Sally G Fri 9 May 2014 2:44AM
Julila, I suspect that the photo about founding OWS dates to the time when Justine made that claim in print; there was quite some pushback!
Jackie Fri 9 May 2014 2:58AM
Ulrike's been on many Occupy lists for quite a while now. Glad you are keeping tabs on NatGat for our euro-Kameraden.
Jackie Fri 9 May 2014 3:01AM

#IfoundedNatGat. ;)

Jackie, IO, Occupy Buffalo; - helped with NatGat2, Occupy Sandy.
Occupy was the clarion call for me to get active; since OB has been in suspension, my participation is mainly as online support.
@sea the "at mention" function also sends you a notification that you are mentioned. use to bring the comment to someone's attention.
