Small Occupy encampments are popping up in major cities throughout the world. Nrc.next provides an overview. One thousand Occupy-ers in New York, 70 in Sydney, a few hundred in Amsterdam. Meanwhile the Occupy-ers are becoming organised, the camp on Amsterdam’s Beursplein is fast becoming a small village with a kitchen, media centre and first aid post. The paper interviews 23-year-old Niek, who gave up his job to join the protest.

His motto is “We are the 99 percent, Occupy everything”.
