OCCUPY’S GROWING DIVERSITY
Occupy Wall Street Struggles to Make ‘the 99%’ Look Like Everybody
Minority leaders have begun to rally for wider participation of people of color, and groups like “Occupy the Hood,” started by a man in South Jamaica, Queens, have begun to boost their presence both online — Occupy the Hood’s Facebook page now counts more than 8,800 supporters — and on the street. A “People of Color Working Group” has been meeting regularly at Zuccotti Park.

Who is the 99 Percent?
Clarence Thomas, executive board member of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union in San Francisco and a former Black Panther, stressed the need for the 99 percent to come together. He pointed out that one of the strengths of the Panther movement was its ability to develop coalitions with white allies, who were referred to at the time as “white radicals of the mother country.” He said he thinks this can happen in the Occupy Movement.

Photo Essay: Existing and Resisting for Palestine at Wall Street
The pro Palestinian organisation “Existence is Resistance” held a silk screening event at the Occupy Wall Street Encampment. Anyone who brought their own T shirt or anything else that could be silk screened were able to get it imprinted with the words “Un-Occupy All Foreign Lands”. There was a large turnout for the event as can be seen in these photos.
