NPR: Occupy May Seem To Be Receding, But Look Closer [View all]
March 3, 2012
For people who watch TV news or read newspapers, the Occupy movement might seem to be in hibernation.
Most of the encampments are gone, and diminished numbers take part in protests.
But there's a lot of ferment behind the scenes — at least at Occupy Wall Street.
Check the Occupy Wall Street website and you'll see at least 15 events every day: meetings by working groups on arts and culture, alternative banking, media, security.
