(62,325 posts)have been busier since they were brutally driven from the public square than they ever were. Eg, this week, they are organizing protests across the country and the globe, against Monsanto. Finally exposing the crimes of that criminal organization.
And that's just over the past few days. Their newspaper is up and running, they are saving people from foreclosure, challenging the banks, winning every case in court as they were so well organized and prepared for the false arrests. Some of them are suing for the illegal treatment they as citizens received at the hands of their government.
They are challenging the Chicago political machine run by Rahm Emmanuel and his attempts to privatize the public schools,
They brilliantly have shown the way to buy back Student Debt in one of their most successful protests over the past year.
The fact that we have chosen not to post here on DU about OWS the way we used to apparently has given the false, (and for some inconceivable reason) hopeful impression that they went away. They did not and like any longterm social justice movement in its infancy, as OWS still is, they will continue to work towards the major goals they have had since the beginning.
In the short period of their existence they have accomplished more in educating the public about Wall St corruption than our entire media put together. They have saved more homes from illegal, unnecessary foreclosure, than Congress.
Your son is a hero and it is great to know he is has not been deterred, just being a bit less public, for now.
