Ask Not What Occupy Wall Street Will Do Next; Ask How We Will Change The Status Quo
Ask Not What Occupy Wall Street Will Do Next; Ask How We Will Change The Status Quo
By Jason Fitzgerald
"I wonder what Occupy Wall Street is going to do next..."
So goes the refrain that punctuates many conversations about Occupy Wall Street today. The refrain marks a quiet, barely acknowledged shift in the Occupy movement's place within the national imagination. On the one hand, there have been very few headlines to emerge under the OWS. label in the last month or so. Occupy Our Homes and Ports, the fight over Duarte Park, the short-lived re-occupation over New Year's, and Occupy Iowa have all gotten some attention, but they have failed to recapture the energy of late October/early November.
