On
Friday night, roughly 500 Georgians gathered to protest an economic,

Getting the occupation rolling has taken time; but our media efforts
are now up and running. We’ve experienced enthusiasm, controversy,
and a growing sense of commitment. Look to this site to hear more
about this movement in coming days. For now, here are some images of
where we’ve been and where we’re going.
