Another group has pledged allegiance to Occupy Wall Street. Occupy Together proclaims itself "an unofficial hub for all of the events springing up across the country in solidarity with Occupy Wall St." Whether this site is one person or a whole bunch of people, it is an indication that the movement is growing. They claim sister organizations in 45 states and in Japan, Australia, Canada, Mexico, and 9 countries in Europe. Again, there is the question of how many people these organizations reprsebt abd how effective they are. There's even a prominent spot on the NY Times web site.
I still have a wait-and-see attitude here. They need to articulate a few concrete goals. Until that happens, they will be perceived as entertainment.
