#OccupyWallStreet from home

I’ve received a number of queries from young moms and others who want to know what they can do to support the #OccupyWallStreet movement even though for logistical reasons — particularly having little kids —they can’t get to New York, D.C. or even a local event.
The rising tide of sympathy for good old fashioned, red, white and blue American protest is a refreshing addition to our national conversation.
It’s great to know how many people back the protests, how many more are finding ways to actually physically be in one location or another to lend their voice to the chorus, and how many will do what they can from the sidelines.
Clearly being there isn’t possible for everyone, but there are very practical ways to help the cause from the comforts of home. The low hanging fruit first. You can:
- Retweet and Share on Facebook quotes, photos and information from trusted sources.
- If you blog, blog about it, even if yours is not otherwise a seemingly activist or political blog. Show your solidarity with words!
- Buy (or make) a button like this and dress up in your best clothes to wear it wherever you go—to pick up the kids, grocery shopping, sports events. (Make extras to give away.) MORE TIPS HERE — Lindsay's List
