The Outreach Group at Occupy Wall Street NYC has an idea inspired by this story of unity between strangers using the original social media: chalk.
It's a creative, anonymous and exciting way for supporters of all ages to show support everywhere.

Bloomberg and other Bilderberg billionaires laughably profess that the #occupywallst movement is a protest against people that clean the floors and place the calls on the market floor.
No one's protesting against these folks.
As someone who just returned from Occupy Wall Street, and as someone who feels impelled to go back, I can tell you the janitors and brokers are among the protestors. Young, old, poor and upper-middle class Americans know it. We all know it.
We all know they are all living in an unsustainable system, built solely to put more power in the hands of the few. It's on the brink of collapse, and it doesn't take an economist to know that something doesn't feel right. It only takes a Kindergarten education to know that when you wash your soil into the ocean, you can't grow more food. When you pollute your water, you shouldn't drink it. When you run your car on oil, on a planet with limited oil, eventually you won't be able to drive that car.
Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Together and Occupy Everywhere is not the beginning of a revolution, but the middle of one -- the tipping point, the peak of willful ignorance that is losing its will, and is now entering a state of consciousness ready to explode. It's up to you to decide where it...

Think Occupy Wall Street should get some leaders already?
That's what a guy, who described himself as being from "The Wall Street of Texas", was demanding to know, late into sleeping hours of the occupation of Liberty Park last night. After a loud barrage of criticism that briefly drew...

For some, the American dream is having a three-car-garage McMansion, a place to raise and spoil your kids, an honest, high-paying job, peace of mind and enough cash to be worry-free into an early retirement. Maybe that's not working out so well for you if you're trying to do it...

There's a curious development in a suburb of my hometown Chicago, about as benevolent as a subdivision can be, in one of the sprawlier areas in the Midwest.
Prairie Crossing is an eco subdivision right off a commuter train line, housing not just lower energy use than the...

As this journalist tried to warn us, we're all being eaten alive. Sadly, only our governments can save us. Yikes.
The free market has spoken: people want convenience, and are all too willing to let...

Out of respect to voters, we - @BenZolno and @noonprop16 - wanted to wait until 100% of the results came in. Now we can officially say that WE WON.
The winners are not just the people who fought PG&E's $50 million traditional one-way mainstream media...

I'll bet $30 that you and I can easily bring down a $30 million propaganda campaign led by one of the largest corporations in California.
Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) -- California's largest private energy supplier with a long history of illegal behavior, clean-energy requirement dodging,
