A warm, sunny February day, temperatures in the low 50's for Saturday and protesting. Few people on the curb with signs but the"row" of 24-7 occupiers continue the quest to make it through the winter. A steady stream of people came by to talk, engage and support. Sightseers in cars and buses flowed by along with a class of young photographers recording the moment.

A very cold day in Denver, temperatures hovering in the low twenties and due to the recent snow from last night more dampness,too...Meanwhile the "row" keeps its post with occupiers and homeless people still sleeping on the sidewalk on Broadway, between the Civic Center and the Capitol. And the police are still watching and waiting - for the next thing.

After a 12 inch dump of snow on the city yesterday and last night, a very small presence for Occupy on Saturday. The sun came and went through the clouds, the snow melted and the beat went on. Very impressive were the large number of Occupy and homeless still sleeping on the "row" on the sidewalk. Donations of food continue to show up. A very pretty day and a crisp and satisfying experience as passers by stopped and talked and cars beeped support.

Another January day in Denver with cold air but sunny and slightly warm for Saturday and Occupy. No march today but a good day for hanging out, waving signs and hearing the local news including about a protest yesterday at Buckley Air Base where Obama spoke.

The theme for Saturdays gathering was "Mourning for Civil Liberties" and funeral attire with props such as tombstones and coffins recommended. The turnout was good, at least a hundred people, mostly dressed in black and very lively.

Very mild in Denver, temperatures in the high 50's but a smattering of snow in the ground. Across the street from Civic Center Park, in front of the Capital, missionaries were giving out food to the homeless. The Saturday march was enthusiastic but small, maybe fifty people.

Occupy Denver - General Assembly 1/7/12
General Assembly in Civic Center Park: A very cold day in the park. Some snow. A big circle. Participatory democracy in action. A short explanation of hand signals that help keep the discourse civil and concentrated. Then on to the issues brought forward prior to the meeting. Most impressive - the love and clarity of the participants.

Very windy, cool, Occupy Denver joined with AIM Colorado. The first stop of the march was at the main Denver Police station where the speakers derided the War on Drugs and then on to the 16th Street Mall and Skyline Park. There the group met up with the AIM contingent and walked up the mall to the Denver Pavilions.

On Occupying the New Year
Danny Schechter: "In 2012, we have to continue to occupy the high ground and occupy the mainstream. When people lead, others follow. Adelante! Forward! Or. As, Martin Luther King put it, "Tomorrow is Today"

Christmas Eve at Occupy Denver: singing carols, waving flags, marching and singing on the 16th Street Mall. The recent storm left plenty of snow on the ground but the temperatures rose into the 40's. A hardcore group of 40-50 people started out marching but many dissipated as the they turned up towards the Governors Mansion and Capital Hill.

Occupy Your Heart
Compassion Is Our New Currency: "People in thousands of communities across the United States and elsewhere are living in public, experimenting with direct democracy, calling things by their true names, and obliging the media and politicians to do the same....It has rejected not just the particulars of our economic system, but the whole set of moral and emotional assumptions on which it's based...

A mild day in Denver for the weekly Occupy gathering and march. Down the 16th Street Mall with a stop at Verizon where a labor dispute was noted and the all too familiar theme of large corporations selling out the workers for big profits.

About 150-200 people braved the cold and snow for the Saturday Occupy Denver noon meeting and march. The theme was "Foreclosures" and its affects in human terms. People gave their story on the "open mic" about how and why it happened.

The Power of Occupy Wall Street Is Not Just What They're Doing, But How They're Doing It
After major crises at hierarchical institutions from Penn State to the Catholic Church, it's time to give the Occupy movement's horizontal structure a chance... The "horizontalism," (is) a form of organization that doesn't recognize one leader, but rather emphasizes the value of each participant equally.
