Posted by

Occupy Sandy is a volunteer effort of people from Occupy Wall Street, Interoccupy.net, 350.org, recovers.org, and others who have organized substantial help for victims of the big storm in New York and New Jersey, including providing supplies and helping with cleanup.  Thousands of Occupiers have served perhaps 1.5 million meals, even feeding the FEMA workers, filling a void left by government and private charities like the Red Cross.
