The Debt Resistor's manual is a much need tool for those who got sucked into debt.

The very handy Occupy-Wall-Street-Strike-Debt-The-Debt-Resistors-Operations-Manual

The "Occupied Wall Street Journal" magazine
is a good resource for what his happening in the resistance.
http://occupiedmedia.us/

Some foreclosures have been stopped because of Occupy action.

Police brutality has been identified and in several cases, the brutal cops have been removed.
And don't forget that Occupy helped identify that Bloomberg has what he considers his own "private ploce force".

Lastly, Occupy groups across the country have given impetus and hope to thousands of people who know "something is terribly wrong with our country" ( and world)

I clearly remember at the onset of the protest decade, in the early 1060's, the initial protest people and groups got as many jibes and insults as Occupy today is getting.
Movements are kinda hard to recognize at the beginning, except for the experienced and/or far seeing people.

The brutality of the attacks on Occupy camps have awakened a lot of people, and served to publicize the growing police state.
