The people who used to be occupiers have used similar techniques to raise money, organize aid, and distribute it.
I do not know if they will draw the lesson that I do from this: that people are more important than government aid, and often more effective. But to see this, and things like Kickstarter, and how well these private, more social/civic methods work, gives me hope. A glimmer, maybe. If we can keep them from being squashed.
