Free School University has launched an OB Radio series, supplementing talks, discussions and screenings on movement-building and the on-going Howard Zinn Memorial Lecture Series. Non-Violence and Anti-Oppression hosted an envisioning workshop by legendary North Carolina activist Linda Stout; a Spokes Council is being developed; and Financial Accountability is drafting a Strategic Planning and Participatory Budget Process that promises to become a prototype for other Occupies, as we all face limited resources in the face of loss of encampments and reduced media visibility.<br>
<br>
Direct action is intense, wide-ranging and creative, as we link up with 3,000-plus local, national and global Occupies and dozens of community groups for more rallies, marches, protests and movement-building activities than we can list.<br>
