Forum Post: Stories of the Occupation

I’m Mouse from Occupy Houston. I made an announcement at our GA last night and got an overwhelmingly positive response to it. I am going to all of the Occupation Livestream chats and asking for stories from Occupiers with the intent of relating news from Occupations around the world. If you are interested in contributing I will pass along the link to the forum where I am collecting these articles and stories. Because I will be reading these stories to the GA I can only spare the time for 3 or 4 a night and each can be no longer than 2 or 3 short paragraphs.

News is paramount as we can not rely on MSM for a fair report or even a real story on the Occupation aside from the worst of incidents that they can use to paint us in the most disagreeable light possible. While I would prefer news I understand that not every Occupation has major news to relate and as such this request is an open request. Please feel free to share your stories. Good Bad or Fugly, it doesnt matter so long as it relates to the Occupation, this also includes your reasons for Occupying. Please remember however that these responses need to be short so that I can read as many as possible in my allotted time during the Oppinions section of the GA, which I will try to deliver at the very end so as not to take away from the GA as a whole.

Remember we got this thing whipped so long as we stay strong stay United and support each other through the good as well as the bad that lay before us.

p.s. please remember to keep the reply limited to a few concise paragraphs so I can read more than 1 or 2 at GA.
