Welcome to the Occupy Wall Street Mothership Resource Diary
Please feel free to use the Mothership as an OpenThread for Occupy Wall Street
HELP requested for AoT
In a private message, he let the OWS Group know that he is raising funds for a laptop so that he can communicate with us better on the ground.
If you can help him out, donate here!
Live Blogs from Kossack Jeremy Bloom on Red Green & Blue about Boston:
OWS: Veterans beaten, arrested at Occupy Boston
Cops in at least 5 cities threaten crackdown on Occupy Wall Street; Boston camp #2 broken up
Let's see if we can convince him to LiveBlog directly on DailyKos the next time!

Queue Management:
A Note from Horace Boothroyd III:
This movement is about giving voice to the silent majority and I want to
continue that.
I'm serious about my determination to not censor posts to the group.
We may object to the premise, or hate the opinion but it is up to the reader
to determine whether the opinion therein is worth contemplating.
Who we would like to see republished to the group page. This is a guideline
and is by no means intended to limit just guide decisions. If it is a slow
time for republishing diaries using this list feel free to add voices we
haven't heard from.
1) Diaries of note
2) Diaries from an Occupy Project in an underrepresented city.
3) Breaking diaries- Those with more content taking precedence over who is
first. My style with breaking diaries is to publish the initial link and add
information as it develops and becomes known. So judgement and observation
will be important regarding these diaries.
4) Informational posts from GA's and videos from Anon and people occupying
that support the movement.
5) Front page Occupy Wall Street diaries
6) Noted Authors- Those who Occupy Wall Street follows.
Even posts on issues that we are rallying against yet do not specifically
cite the movement should be posted if they are directing towards solutions
to what caused this mess ie: banking reform, lobbying restrictions, campaign
finance etc.
If readers have other ideas of what they would like included please include
that in the comments here.
Queue Schedule:
Morning = approx. 6am - 12noon Eastern; Afternoon = approx. 12noon to 6pm Eastern; Evening= approx. 6pm-Midnight Eastern; we'll just let the middle of the night diaries be caught by the morning team the next day. An exclamation mark refers to a repeat volunteer in the same time slot.
