The other 99% continues to mobilize and stand its ground in Liberty Plaza in lower Manhattan. Last night the park was aglow with hundreds of supporters sitting in for the nightly 7 pm General Assembly meeting where decisions are hashed out, consensus-style. It’s rather stunning how orderly and peaceful this is.

And in the southwest corner of the park volunteer silk-screeners were set up making t-shirts on a donations basis. They say things like “I am the 99%” and “Occupy Wall Street” in bright red, green, and blue. I got a shirt done with a fist, in black ink, that says 99%, and a tiny little person in the corner labeled 1%. The mood is festive at times but not chaotic, upbeat and something like serious but not self-sacrificing or self-serious. And as far as I can tell the 8 pm quiet-time curfew is well respected.

Here are some signs seen last night…
