Many in the cor­po­rate media like to think the Oc­cupy is over, but those of us in­volved know bet­ter. We do not rely on the cor­po­rate media to val­i­date the work of Oc­cupy, we see it in our com­mu­ni­ties. And, we know to look to our own media for ac­cu­rate in­for­ma­tion. The Oc­cu­pied Wall Street Jour­nal re­ports on the ac­tions of the Oc­cupy, it’s weekly “Re­ports from the Front Lines” is some­thing many of us look for­ward to so we can see the move­ment tak­ing ac­tion across the coun­try.

An­other vis­i­ble pres­ence of Oc­cupy will be ev­i­dent this spring in Wash­ing­ton, DC when the Na­tional Oc­cu­pa­tion of Wash­ing­ton, DC be­gins on March 30th. The event, which will con­tinue through the month of April, is being or­ga­nized by mem­bers of dozens of oc­cu­pies from around the coun­try. Twenty-five Gen­eral As­sem­blies have passed state­ments of sol­i­dar­ity for this na­tional oc­cupy event.

NOW DC be­gins with a lot of ac­tiv­ity. On the first day, Oc­cupy the EPA, will bring peo­ple to­gether to pro­tect the planet for a sus­tain­able fu­ture. It will fea­ture Helen Caldicott, a pe­di­a­tri­cian nom­i­nated for the Nobel Peace Prize, known for her anti-nu­clear ac­tivism, Dr. Mar­sha Cole­man-Ade­bayo an EPA whistle­blower and Mar­garet Flow­ers, also a pe­di­a­tri­cian, noted for her ad­vo­cacy for sin­gle payer health care among oth­ers. The march will in­clude a pack of al­paca’s, a giant Earth and a giant polar bear pup­pet.

4. It sure has taken enough time -

I wondered how long folks would put up with our new reality. I'm thankful so many are seeing through the "terror" nonsense - and that so many of them are young.

3. Anyone here doing any get togethers for Occupy DC this month?

I'm realizing March is almost over and I'm not in touch with anyone who's involved in this

We ought to organize meetups and such. I got to get EZ the copy of the guidelines he requested tomorrow...
