"Occupy" movements in rural America

[Rachel Reynolds Luster]

Hi,

 

I've heard that the Occupy Wall Street protests/events are spreading across the country. I'm interested in writing an article for our blog the Art of The Rural that highlights perspectives on the "Occupy" movement from rural America. 

 

If anyone knows of protests or events connected with the movement going on in their communities, I'd appreciate greatly if you shared that information with me.

 

Many Thanks,

Hi Rachel,

 

We've just created a facebook page for farmers and eaters to share their experiences in a corporate-controlled food system. We JUST put it up, so it's not populated yet, but hopefully it will be soon!
