Occupy Wall Street has just celebrated its 30th day in the park. On Saturday, it inspired solidarity actions in 1000 cities and that is considered as an incredible achievement.
We have heard a lot about what they stand for but not how they organized to make this happen.
This occupation runs like a village with lots of participation from a diverse group of articulate people.
“Behind the scenes of occupy Wall Street is an organization that is pretty invisible. It is decentralized, it's bottom up and it's organized into working committees,” editor of the Mediachannel.org, Danny Schechter says.
In this edition of the show we will take you behind the scenes of Occupy Wall Street to show you how it all works.
