I would like advice on getting the occupy movement started in cities that do not have them. What does occupywallst.org recommend?
Well, I'm stationed in Ft Wayne, and like I said: it's a new town to me. I barely know anyone. I've made a page for Indianapolis but certainly don't know where to go from there. I do know there are plenty of people unemployed however. Fort Wayne is, unfortunately, a small town. It is full of, but not limited to: ignorant, uninformed, close minded people. I usually don't even try to get around that -- I see no point ordinarily -- but this "99%" thing has resonated with me fully now (I'd like to believe).
We're all part of it. 99% chance whoever is here are the same people that want something -- whatever cause they hold dear -- to change for the better. We all have our 'just' goals, I think, and I'd like to find a way for Indiana residents to voice this, both through social media and physically without intentionally damaging anything (or at least do so minimally).
Finding urban area with large democrat populations with large levels of unemployment, talk to people, build a base of people willing to help you out, get a message, make it clear, then call your local media once you've assembled 50+ protesters, talk to the producer and they'll help your 50 look like a lot more, then more people will come help you out or at least want to know more.
