Very good article clearing up some misconceptions regarding Occupy and its Sandy response.

1. Here is a teaser from FireWalk's link to Kevin Gosztola's article:

Following Superstorm Sandy, a grassroots relief effort called Occupy Sandy was quickly organized. It set up in hubs in communities to distribute water, food and other aid. Groups of people went into homes and complexes without water to check on people and ask if they needed help. They helped pump water out of homes and clean out debris. And, in many communities, they were there in these communities before the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or the Red Cross and were the first to begin taking this type of concerted action.
