This channel will feature live streams from global non violent revolution spreading across the globe, with the first broadcasts from Wall Street Occupation in NYC that will start on Saturday, September 17, 2011. The channel will also feature live stream from solidarity protests and events in Spain, Greece, France, Belgium, Iceland and other places around the globe.

Looking interesting - anyone around NYC or other hotspots today?
Stream seems to be from Greece at the moment.
Enjoy!

interesting, Robin, man. And

interesting, Robin, man.
And I agree with much of it. Roles have always turned me off protests.
But what is fascinating for me at least in this movement - is that it appeals to so many people and many who are turning up have never been to a protest before, have never even thought about it.
Too - the rediscovery of the 'creative imagination' - http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2011/sep/25/occupy-wa...
which, for a protest movement, is rare, this way of interacting, of a large protest being without leaders, the carnival esque protest.
I haven't been so excited and enthusiastic for a movement like this for so long. I hope it lasts. I hope it keeps proving people wrong. But if anyone attends, don't just be there of obligation or to be an 'activist'. Participate, create, share and never accept to be another number of the protest.

But a reported 700,000 in Madrid today... ain't that fantastic?

Fall in love with patience and hard work!

"Don't fall in love with yourselves, with the nice time we are having here. Carnivals come cheap—the true test of their worth is what remains the day after, how our normal daily life will be changed. Fall in love with hard and patient work—we are the beginning, not the end. Our basic message is: the taboo is broken, we do not live in the best possible world, we are allowed and obliged even to think about alternatives. There is a long road ahead, and soon we will have to address the truly difficult questions—questions not about what we do not want, but about what we DO want. What social organization can replace the existing capitalism? What type of new leaders we need? The XXth century alternatives obviously did not work." http://www.versobooks.com/blogs/736-slavoj-zizek-at-occupy-wall-street-w...
