I checked in a for a few minutes yesterday in between family obligations and was overwhelmed by the amount of news out there about Occupy Wall Street - blogs, alternative press, diaries and MSM - we're starting to see it all.
I propose we start trying to organize - this Mothership is an attempt to start that process.
First - current action items will be at the top of Mothership diaries. If you are wondering what you can be doing to help, read this part.
Second - links to DailyKos diaries about OccupyWallStreet, divided by topic and listed with most recent diary at the top of the list, I will publish with the last 24 hours and continue to add links, both from previous days and current diaries, as I can:
- On The Ground - diaries from a first person perspective of folks who are there in person.
- Front Page of DailyKos
- Occupy America - diaries with links to other peaceful demonstrations
- OccupyWallStreet in the MSM - diaries with links to MSM stories
- OccupyWallStreet Support - links to diaries showing community support, like Veterans, Unions, etc.
- Police/Protest Interactions
- OccupyWallStreet Messaging, Framing, etc.
Added suggestions? Bring them below the fleur-de-lis!
Update with Special Requests:
Charlie Grapski is looking for a couple of things. First, does anyone have connections with 'anonymous' so that he can some images and video?
Second, he would also like to contact Marissa Holmes who was arrested last Saturday.
If anyone can help him out with either of these, please send him a private message.

Anjali Mullany is the Social Media Editor at NY Daily News. She was on the bridge yesterday but manages td "get out of the net," as she called it. She is really wanting to dig into this story. I think I'll post this in several other relevant diaries.

Reminder to all BlogAdmin and BlogEditors of OccupyWallStreet - you have access to this diary because it was originally published with OccupyWallStreet. Feel free to edit, add links, etc. Once comments get to be cumbersome, we can copy and paste and start the next Mothership.
Comments welcome below - this is a great place to mention those things that you don't think require an entire diary - links to video, links to other articles and first person accounts. Those links may give other folks some info they have been needing to put into their next diary about OccupyWallStreet!
5:40 PM PT: I am off to bed folks... Argentina time.
This diary is updated with Saturday and Sunday diaries up to this time stamp. Tomorrow, I will revamp Mothership Lite with a few changes and be recruiting volunteers so we can take this through to next weekend. I think next weekend, we're really going to need a team with all the Occupying that should be going on! Maybe a team of Ex-pats can come together since all of you in the US should be finding an event to attend!
Mon Oct 03, 2011 at 6:01 AM PT: Finally, I think the weekend's worth of diaries are listed. If you know that one is missing, please let me know.
