Research Log #5

http://occupychico.com/

For the final research log I decided just to use a website used to promote the occupy movement in Chico, CA. The reason I am using this is to show that this movement is effecting everyone across the U.S. On the website you can find anything you want to know about the occupy movement and what you can do to help or join the movement. Going over it I saw that there were hundreds of events to attend or help out with just from the last couple of months. It has a calendar to show events and times and will keep you up to date on what is going on in the occupy movement.  It really showed me how organized this movement is. Since the movement started in New York and moved across the nation and globally I was surprised to see how organized and up to date everything was with the occupy movement. The website shows the different committees it has to help out the movement and just by having an account with the website and hitting join anyone can join any committee. The committees range from the rally committee that deals with when and where the rallies will be held, to the media committee that deals with press releases and general materials for distribution, to even a medical committee dedicated to the medical needs of anyone involved in the movement.  The events can even be split up into sub groups if you don't want to be fully committed to the movement with women occupy movements to occupy the crime scene. What I was the most surprised to see however was that they showed the meeting minutes from every meeting or rally the Occupy Chico Movement involved talking about what they have scheduled to talking about exactly what questions were asked and answered and by whom.  Every insight you could possibly need for the Occupy Chico Movement is involved in this website and it is kept up to date.
