I’m at Occupy Delaware (Wilmington) today to put up the command post tent that Occupy Philadelphia won in the Occupy Supply contest to reward excellence in community activism.  Occupy Philadelphia is giving the tent to Occupy Delaware, who has invited occupiers that have been evicted to come live at their encampment.

Occupy Philadelphia will be livestreaming the event, which will be broadcast here (video above).  Thanks to everyone for making this possible, and if you can’t make it down to Occupy Delaware, we hope you can join in virtually.

Please join me at Occupy Wilmington, Delaware this Saturday for a tent-raising party with DADT activist Lt. Dan Choi, Captain Ray Lewis, members of Occupy Philadelphia and many others .

I was not looking forward to updating the State of the Occupation list but when I finally did, it was much bigger than I expected. The first State of the Occupation list we published on December 20 included 61 encampments, and the list is now at 50.

Our next Occupy Supply online meet-up is Sunday, February 12th, at 2:00 PM Eastern. Register now.

In an effort to share strategies and best-practices among Occupy groups, Sunday’s Occupy Supply town hall webinar discussion will be: “My Occupation Was Raided: Now What Do I Do?”

If you would like to attend the Occupy Supply webinar tomorrow night starting at 8pm ET with Dan Choi, Jason Leopold and Kevin Baron on filing Freedom of Information Act requests, you can sign up here.

The FDL community has voted to award these five occupations with a command post tent from Occupy Supply for their outstanding community activism:

There were 157 occupations nominated  in Occupy Supply’s contest to reward outstanding local occupy activism.   After a preliminary round of voting, 20 now proceed to the finals.

Vote Now For Outstanding Activism by an Occupation

Occupy Supply was able to buy five new command post tents worth $5000 each for a fraction of that price, but when it came time to decide which occupations got them, we opted to do it in the most democratic way possible: allow people to nominate occupations based on their activism history, and then let our community decide where they should go.

These are the nominations for Outstanding Local Activism by an Occupation. The Occupy Supply contest was announced last week, and anyone could nominate an occupation for its local activism. Nominations closed at midnight last night, and the preliminary round of voting will be open until this Wednesday, February 1 at 12 midnight.

Vote your top 10 choices for outstanding activism in the Occupy Movement for a chance to win a tent or laptop with webcam for your occupation!

There have already been over 700 nominations of local occupations for outstanding community activism, representing 149 occupations across the country.  Occupy Supply announced the contest yesterday, and we’ll be accepting nominations up until this Monday.

Five occupations will receive command post tents worth $5000 each, three will receive media laptops, and twelve runner-ups will receive a credit for supplies at the Occupy Supply store.

These are the occupations that have been nominated to date:
