"#Occupy: Movement or Moment." What started as a relatively small protest and encampment in the financial district of New York City quickly spread as a meme across the country and around the world, and thus the #occupy phenomenon was launched. Pacifica Radio Network, with locally-based community radio stations dispersed all over the country, taps into the energy of the historic grassroots #Occupy phenomenon. Voices, thoughts, and reports from movement participants from different parts of the US.The question is asked: Is #Occupy a movement or moment?

Occupied Radio is being produced by Mark Read, a radio producer from new affiliate WGXC in Hudson, NY and the former Outreach Director for Democracy Now! Mark has been deeply involved in #Occupy Wall Street and is an active member of both the Labor Outreach Working Group of #OWS, and the Movement Building Working Group. He views this as an extraordinary opportunity for both Pacifica, and the #Occupy movement.
