I just read this article for a class that I'm taking. It really got me thinking about the structure of the occupation. Every time the marchers pass my dorm building (in Chicago) I wonder why the numbers fluctuate and how long this can last. I understand it's Arab Spring inspired but it's not spring time anymore. But that's irrelevant. This article talks about a slew of organized protests and revolutions, the organization of them, how successful they were and how social media has effected them. I 100% support the movement and have gone out as much I could, I hope this interests or sparks something among some of you.
