An Insider's View from Occupy Oakland (Oakland, California‪)‬

Robyn (who asked that her last name not be used) is a forty-year-old resident of Marin County, California, who is active in Occupy Oakland and Occupy Marin. In early December, she spoke to the Humanist about life in the camp, and what it means--for her--to occupy. The Humanist: There's still a lot of confusion about Occupy Wall Street and the Occupy movement. Its amorphous nature throws people and leads them to simply say, well, they're completely disorganized and there's no real plan.
