"The debate in the Occupy movement around “demands,”
once so heated at the fall 2011 encampment in Zuccotti Park, has faded
amidst so many immediate and concrete demands that Occupy Sandy now
confronts daily on the front lines of the relief effort. The Occupy
organizers in orange fluorescent vests rushing around the relief hub in a
church at 520 Clinton Ave. in Brooklyn, or shoveling out sand from
basements in the Rockaways, or going door-to-door and delivering food to
elderly residents on the upper floors of the city’s public housing
complexes, are part of a maturing resistance movement that is growing
deep roots in communities across the city. In some cases, they are even
working closely with some of the same people who conducted raids on
Occupy’s encampment in the Financial District a year ago."
This is getting good. The Occupy movement is flowing to where it is needed.
