US protest movements inspired by public space occupation

American citizens seem to be catching the protesting-by-occupying bug and a couple of initiatives are fast approaching their due dates soon. One of them, the October 6th movement is organising and rallying for a Tahrir style camp out in Washington DC. The following “promotional” video has been released on Youtube looking to fundraise for the action. The video explicitly mentions and shows footage of several European and North African protest demonstrations and camps, and quotes them as inspiration for their action.
