AUTHORIZED BY OWSGA: The Occupied Wall Street Journal has a new web site
Source: Occupy Wall Street

This will be a clear message and observation resource moving forward for OWS NYC. Together with the occupywallst.org site, there should be no problem identifying #occupy positions on society and government.

Note that each article reaffirms commitment to Rule of Law. We know that the Depression of 2008 was caused by corporate corruption. We are our own leaders.

This web site is available in English and in Spanish.

Here are example articles:

So real it hurts: building a new republic
by Manissa Mccleave Maharawal on Oct 23, 2011
On a Thursday night when I showed up at Occupy Wall Street from a community meeting with some South Asian friends, we were handed a sheet of paper with a working draft of the Declaration of the Occupation.

Enacting the impossible
by David Graeber on Oct 23, 2011 • 6 Comments
On August 2, at the very first meeting of what was to become Occupy Wall Street, about a dozen people sat in a circle in Bowling Green. The self-appointed “process committee” for a social movement we merely hoped would someday exist, contemplated a momentous decision. Our dream was to create a New York General Assembly:...

Occupation is Participation
by Allison Burtch on Oct 23, 2011 • 1 Comment
Among the remarkable developments at Liberty Square have been the Working Groups, created by occupiers to forward the movement’s goals. In these groups ideas are exchanged, strategies are collectively shaped and the future of the occupation is being written. Here are dispatches from a few… Outreach Since the best place to reach the 99% is...

Rule of law vs. the forces of order
by Alex S. Vitale on Oct 23, 2011 • 2 Comments
Occupy Wall Street, with its defiant style of non-violent protest, has consistently clashed with the NYPD’s obsession with order maintenance, resulting in hundreds of mostly unnecessary arrests and a significant infringement on the basic rights of free speech and assembly....

A New World
by Jed Brandt and Michael Levitin on Oct 23, 2011 • No Comments
What it is, the demand the 1% can’t comprehend, is us. It is the individuals and villages, the cities and peoples across the world who are seeing each other on the far side of appeals and petition. It is the world we are becoming. Establishment polls confirm what everyone in the street already knows....

The People’s Library
by Jennifer Sacks on Oct 23, 2011 • 1 Comment
Howard Zinn is here. Dominick Dunne and Tom Wolfe, too. Ernest Hemingway and Barbara Ehrenreich and Dr. Who and Beowulf: All here, and all free. Barnes & Noble may be endangered and the Borders across the street closed months ago, but The People’s Library at Liberty Square is open for business and thriving....

We Are the 99% Tumblr
I was forced to dropout of college halfway through because I couldn’t even afford the gas to get there and back. All of my loams have defaulted and there’s nothing I can do. We’ve lived in this apartment for a month and we just got a bed a couple days ago. We don’t have a tv, not even a can opener… but I guess that would only matter if we could afford food in the first place. I’m going job hunting this weekend… wish me luck. My husband fights for the freedom of the 1%, but where are they when we needed them?....


And many more.

1. Where can one get the actual print edition.
I got issue 2 when some people brought some back to Freedom Plaza in D.C. I'd like to get more.

3. Print editions have been 200,000-250,000 runs. Distributed in New York City.
At present there is no national distribution program. These are distributed free at Liberty Park and around NYC.

A suggestion: contact someone in New York who has access to the Liberty Park site. occupywallst.org has forum and chat functions.

2. Three statements, four ideas. One of the simpler condensations of OWS thinking.
This came out of Occupy Boston. One change in the text.



It is not a pretty design. Feel free to improve -- you are your own leaders.
