Please use this thread to bring updates, photos and videos on occupy happenings around the country.
I am currently at Ft. Meade, covering the pre-trial hearing for Bradley Manning and providing a live blog of that proceeding. However, I will check back here periodically for updates.
Thanks to all our great commenters for sustaining the flow of information and supporting the Occupy Movement.
