That's what all the mainstream outlets are saying this week, and they're right in one way. The plan on paper sounded much like November 17th: Shut down the NYSE bell. From the red cube across from Zuccotti Park, one march headed out and down Broadway, to run straight into the police barricades at Wall Street. The NYPD, meanwhile, had set up its own occupation, more thoroughly shutting down and annoying the residents of the financial district than Occupy ever did. The police moved away from kettling and mass arrests a while ago and have settled on a much more terrifying tactic--seemingly random snatch and grabs, yanking people off the sidewalk out of a crowd.
Occupy Infiltrates Financial District with Creative, Decentralized Actions for First Anniversary. People gather in Washington Square Park in New York on September 15, 2012 during an Occupy Wall Street One Year Anniversary Convergence Weekend.
Occupy Wall Street will mark its first anniversary on Monday by attempting to blockade the New York Stock Exch There is no longer an Occupy Wall Street. That's what all the mainstream outlets are saying this week, and they're right in one way. What started as a couple hundred people in a park with no plan has turned into a decentralized, distributed network of activists, affinity groups, organizations and organizers, working on everything from free education to fracking. And so as New York's financial district was choked with glitter, balloons, dance parties and a whole lot of police, Occupy's anniversary feels less like a celebration of what was and more a demonstration of what's becoming.

After all, the encampments that announced the movement a year ago have largely disappeared, and no obviously similar protest demonstrations of young people have taken their place, at least not in the United States. Nevertheless, I think the ready conclusion that the protests have fizzled is based on a misconception of the nature of movements, a misconception influenced by the metaphors we rely on. We think of these eruptions as something like explosions, Fourth of July fireworks perhaps that shoot into the sky, dazzle us for a moment, and then quickly fade away.
In fact, no major American movement of the past fits that description. Movements that may appear to us in retrospect as a unified set of events are, in fact, irregular and scattered. And it will not subside quickly. #S17 – Occupy Wall Street - Invites you, the 99%, to NYC for three days of education, celebration, and resistance.

From Sunday night’s Occupy Rosh Hashanah service to the direct actions and popular assemblies on September 17th, we will ring in the new year in style.
