Occupy Wall Street will hold a ‘State of the Occupation Address’ tonight (30 January) at 7pm at Housing Works Bookstore, on 126 Crosby Street in New York City. 10,000 copies of The Declaration of the Occupation of New York City (by NYC General Assembly) will be freely distributed at the event (top and below). (The publication was featured in a Vanity Fair article under the heading ‘The Revolution will be Graphic-Designed’.)
