To this day none of you know where all the money raised by OWS really is. Are you just being used by a new set of masters?
What does it matter? Do we not speak what is true?
All but those in power lose in Fascism or Communism. Which of those two do you think we are already in or will have?
That's a good question. I donated some money in early October; I wonder where it went? (When I visited Zuccotti Park there were also people with their own personal donation jars; I am not sure that was sanctioned in any way, but was just freelance.)
I don't have a lot of time to research it, but apparently the money (some of it anyway) goes to a non-profit corporation called The Alliance for Global Justice.
"The Alliance for Global Justice (AfGJ) and its predecessor and founder, the Nicaragua Network, have been well-known grassroots organizations within the Central and Latin America solidarity movement and the anti-corporate globalization movement for over three decades."

OK, someone with more time and interest can take over.
I wondered the same thing. Where does that DONATE button go?
Are they paying off people's mortgages? Are they hiring lawyers to fight the banks? Just what happens to the "donations"?
Sadly, you will never recieve an answer to this question because no one even knows who is in charge of this organization.
Isn't Occupy a non-profit organization and, as such, isn't it obliged to be fully transparent with its accounting? In Canada it works this way, but I'm not sure about USA. Anybody?
