“It’s a very old word, but over the course of just a few months it took on another life and moved in new and unexpected directions, thanks to a national and global movement,” Ben Zimmer, chair of the New Words Committee for the American Dialect Society, said in a statement.” - Linguistics name ‘occupy’ as 2011’s word of the year
Right now, this kickstarter is barely on track. If enough pledges are not raised, they will lose the nearly $5,000 that have been pledged. If you support the Occupy Movement, please support the production of this movie. A movie has the power to reach so many more people, to affect the turnout at our mass protests and to affect the energy of what I imagine will be a very large protest-summer. Please, if you can spare a couple of dollars, even just $5, pledge what you can. If you can’t, spread the word. Also, if you have footage to contribute, they are looking for that too.
Together, we can do so much more than we can do alone. Let’s rally behind these film makers and help this movement grow!
