What Have We Learned From #OccupyWallStreet? Pt II

Okay, so yesterday I outlined the problems the protesters are having at #occupywallstreet.  In today's post let's examine what's been working out right for them.

1. Excellent websites.  All of the co-ordination done, from the USDoR site to the Anonops blog really made the plan come together, and if we want to stand beside them by Friday we really have to get our co-ordination right now.  We need to start talking about where we're camping, and we need to start notifying people that this is happening.
2. They got really good at raising money.  If we're going to make it we have to do the same.  We need a P.O. Box so people who couldn't make it can send us supplies, a WePay account, and someone with some credibility to take charge of distribution and treasury.  Is there anyone out there who's good at organization who is willing to show their face for the cause?
3. Good press from celebrity endorsements.  Nothing says NYC has your back quite like Robert DeNiro showing up at your protest, and Chicago celebrities have the clout to say the same.  Vince Vaughn, John Cusack, Oprah Winfrey, and Lupe Fiasco all live in Chicago, and a campaign to call their publicists for their support would greatly help the cause.  I've made calls, why haven't you?
4. MiFi Cards.  The NYC protesters knew better than to rely on corporate controlled media outlets to share their story.  We now know they where right.  We need to start a drive right now to make sure there's enough internet to go around.

As usual, if you anything more to add please leave a comment.
