I am xOWS. I am still following OWS.
The total viewers for live stream is 164 today. Yesterday it was about 300. In the start it had numbers around 3000. Viewers have declined at rapid rate.
At the official nycga.net website there are 3099 registered people. This is after weeks of launch. OWS is very heavy on web, social media based movement. When I was personally visiting in ODC almost every body had smart devices. So these numbers show it is not very popular.
I have given suggestions numerous times but I think th GA has their own agenda. I have personally seen in DC there is hardly any support. You see more of homeless people here.
Why we had momentum and now it is just trying to survive. If union did not help, this movement was done. Think and act. You can get people back.
Don't loose spirit and keep believe what you believe in. When tired get some rest, but make sure to always get up and come back. People's power is the greatest power!
I was active in DC and we at DC got no help. At NYC they are loaded with money. We requested them come to DC to protest against trade bill and other bills which helps wall street. Their leader NY congressman Charles Range (he spoke at OWS) came to dc and voted against wallstreet regulation bill. They are being guided by people like him. They are keeping attention away from DC.
