The Occupy movement is the topsoil. WE are the growth!
Yes, I can't leave my job, or go on strike, or camp out in downtown San Francisco for days. Most of us can't. But they fertilized that area. They made it ripe for growth.

What groweth there?

The rest of us, during whatever free time we are fortunate to have, going to these fertile grounds and standing with them, marching with them, contributing.

It's not enough to have 40 people camping in front of your city hall all day. It needs to be everyone, whenever they are able, to be there whenever they can.

What would the 6-10pm period look like, every freakin' work day, if we were all there?

1. Not too many working people have weekday evenings free.
Many have family duties.

3. Same here! I'm saying that if anyone has ANY time free...
they should go check out their local Occupy location. Even is just for an hour, to show solidarity.

There are only so many people who can camp in a city park for weeks. They need, and we need, to be there whenever we can.
