An absolutely phenomenal short video-documentary on what truly goes on within the incredible micro community that has developed with the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York City. This is what it is about. Not the drama uploads of police pepper-spraying or the arrests. The movement is about an ever growing community of people building a structure within themselves to self-sustain during their movement. More…

Occupy Albuquerque Oct 8 2011 Day #8 | Protester arrested | Video Photos 1
Occupy Albuquerque set up camp, now called Coyote Camp, last Saturday, Oct. 1st, on the UNM (University of New Mexico) campus on the corner of University and Central Ave. During the past week, the campers have received permission to remain on campus, but needed to relocate to another area due to the elderly trees in the vicinity of the original camp. The move was peaceful, and the new location actually adds more visibility for the protesters. Today, Occupy Albuquerque combined efforts with an Anti-War protest as they marched down Central Ave. The local Albuquerque Police Department maintained decorum and actually assisted with traffic control as the march led on. Once the march returned to Coyote Camp, the police arrived and arrested an individual. However, once back at Coyote Camp, the police arrived and arrested an individual. I was not present during the alleged incident and cannot confirm the validity of the news report within this post.
This is a peaceful protest and the actions of one individual, if true as stated in the news footage below, should not reflect upon the group as a whole.
If the alleged incident is NOT true, then this only adds more support to the reasons the 99% are protesting.
Restaurant taking 2% of tips from servers due to credit card fees Reply
This is just another example of the evolution of the state of our economy and out banking system.
Servers at Parasole restaurants received word last Tuesday that they’ll have to give up 2% of their credit card tips to the house.
A server at Good Earth Roseville tells City Pages that higher-ups explained the move as being necessary due to rising credit card use amongst customers and higher fees from banks. The excised 2% on their tips will make up for rising fees.
Vibe: A social media driving force behind Occupy Wall St 1
Wall Street demonstrators are using a new app, called “Vibe,” to organize protests, showing how social media is transforming to meet users’ needs.
Vibe is like Twitter, but with some major differences that make it an ideal choice for protest groups. Users don’t have to register and can anonymously post the tweet-like messages, determining how far they travel since the technology is location-based.
