oops I answered in the comment instead of the answer dialogue
Occupy Manhattan Kansas--(or Occupy MHK)  Small but worth the effort.  We need to get it going again.

Occupy FDSF - Occupy Financial District San Francisco (now Occupy SF), which kicked off 9/17 in solidarity with OWS. I helped plan it.

The first occupy event I participated in was on november second in Tulsa Oklahoma. We were performing civil disobedience by 10 of us sitting on the grass in a circle in a public park after curfew protesting when the Tulsa police showed up with 75+ officers, 2 swat teams, and a LRAD to deal with 10 aparently extremly dangerous protesters as seen in ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrdDWgHGonY&feature=related ) I was the guy in the green and the 3rd protestor arrested. Most of us were pepper sprayed from less than 6 inches away.

I came to Liberty Park the first time on september 26th. I painted a sign on a piece of white cardboard. It was of a womans face shouting. She had Wonder Woman arm cuffs. I don't remember the words. I also painted another sign that said Respect the 1st amendment, but I spelled amendment wrong.. I left the sign leaning up against a tree and a few days later noticed someone had corrected the spelling on it. :)
The first day I was there, I became hooked. It was amazing to walk 1 foot in any direction and there you would be face to face with someone interesting to talk to. Dr. Cornell West was there that day. I saw some old friends there and made new ones.
I've been occupied every day since.

Spreading the word about Occupy Wall Street on Facebook before it started and the first day and night at Zuccotti Park. My life, for better or for worse, will never be the same again.
