Occupy Wall Street’s democratically run website, www.OccupyWallStreet.net, is ready for your articles. The focus of ‘street.net’ is to provide news and information relevant to the New York-based Occupy Wall Street community. There is now an open call for occupiers to contribute content, where you can: Go to an action and send us pictures, video and writing about what takes place and why the action was meaningful to you, etc. Write an analysis piece about the movement, its past, present, future, etc Profile an Occupy Wall Street activist and/or send us information about an activist or group of activists you think we could profile. Write about an upcoming event in NYC you think the Occupy community will want to know about. In the month leading up to our one-year-anniversary on #S17, they are especially interested in: Profiles of folks impacted by debt, including housing, medical, student debt and taxes. Highlights on the mortgaging of our future environment to support the present lifestyle of the 1%, and how we can withdraw our consent. So make sure to take advantage of our new occupy media resource, and congratulations toOccupyWallStreet.net for getting it off the ground. – from the ‘Your Inbox: Occupied’ team Occupy these Actions and Assemblies Stop the Spectra Pipeline: There are daily actions happening at the construction site for the pipeline that will bring fracked gas through residential neighborhoods in Lower Manhattan and the Rockaways..
