How Many American Cities Are Now Being “Occupied?”

How Many American Cities Are Now Being “Occupied?”

October 9, 2011 SVadmin Comments 4 comments

How big, how extensive is the “Occupy Wall Street” movement in America?

It’s hard to day for sure, but this list (from occupytogether.org) gives a hint:

Albuquerque, NM | Allentown, PA | Athens, GA | Atlanta, GA | Asheville, NC | Austin, TX | Baltimore, MD | Boston, MA | Buffalo, NY | Burlington, VT | Berkeley, CA | Charlotte, NC | Chattanooga, TN | Chicago, IL | Cincinnati, OH | Cleveland, OH | Colorado Springs, CO | Dallas, TX | Dayton, OH | Denver, CO | Elkhart, IN | Eureka, CA | Findlay, OH | Flagstaff, AZ | Grand Rapids, MI | Honolulu, HI | Houston, TX | Idaho Falls, ID | Indianapolis, IN | Inland Empire, CA | Ithica, NY | Jacksonville, FL | Kansas City, MO | Lexington, KY | Lawrence, KS | Los Angeles, CA | Las Vegas, NV | Louisville, KY | Madison, WI | Maui, HI | Miami, FL | Minneapolis, MN | Missoula, MT | Mcallen, TX | Nashville, TN | New York City, NY | Norfolk, VA | Northhampton, MA | Ocala, FL | Philadelphia, PA | Portland, ME | Portland, OR | Riverside, CA | Salt Lake City, UT | San Diego, CA | San Jose, CA | San Francisco, CA | Santa Fe, NM | Sarasota, FL | Seattle, WA | St. Louis, MO | South Bend, IN | Syracuse, NY | Tampa, FL | Trenton, NJ | Washing D.C. | Wichita, KS | Winston-Salem, NC

Their “Meetups” list, which includes occupiers in numbers from one to many, shows 1,065 cities.

One speaker in “Occupy Austin” said: “We are the 99%, and we are too big to fail.”

The discipline of nonviolence, which is so distinctive of this movement, amplifies its power and its credibility.

The “We Are the 99%” movement has the potential to dwarf the Tea Party in size and influence.

Whether it does so remains to be seen.

    I am a senior in high school this year and I can’t go to college where I want to because it’s not financially possible. Where’s my future?

    The USA is no longer what optimistic people have allowed themselves to think it is and I don’t think there is much they can do about it.
