During a trip to Utrecht we talked to the people from Occupy Utrecht. Well organized, fun and committed.Lots of music and fun, but also discussions and planning for the next events was the fare of the day. 
But then there is also Kingman, in extremely republican Arizona. The 99% supporters gather each Saturday at the train in the Park along the historic Route 66.
Here the group was rather small on the hot Saturday morning, yet it was a
pleasant crowd talking about topical issues and the upcoming
presidential elections. So On Sundays they have a peace vigil on a
different location and on Wednesdays they have a gathering to suppport
women's reproductive rights which are under thread because of republican
inititatives.A lot of work needs to be done, the grass roots in America are waking up and growing. We are the 99% working for better futures.
