Like the "Arab Spring" uprisings that inspired its tactics, Occupy Wall Street is evolving.
From the beginning, organizers -- including activist magazine Adbusters, which hatched the idea and put out a call for participants back in July -- have said they hope protesters will occupy Manhattan's Financial District for two months. On Day 1, no one knew what that would look like. Fast forward to Day 19, and Zuccotti Park is loaded with makeshift camps and organized "stations": medical, food, legal, media, security and more.
Food and blankets have come in from donors all over the nation, said Matt Ingram, who was volunteering at the "Comfort" station on Wednesday.
"It's incredible to see the outpouring of support from people who can't be here," said Ingram, 28. "It reminds you that there's still humanity, and that people are inherently good."
