Occupy and Indivisible

Thought:

As non-electoral movements, Occupy and Indivisible may be years apart in age, but I think they compliment each other.

Occupy was (and in some areas, still is) the urban tent revival which sought revival in the face of persistent economic inequality. Indivisible is the direct district-by-district action against politicians (mostly at the federal level) who seek to further multiple inequalities.

Occupy was limited by being an urban movement which centered their actions in urban spaces and needs, but it also pushed mightily for income inequality to be considered a massive political crisis. Indivisible is still unfolding as a political force, but it is centered around influencing legislators and their often rural-spread districts.

Indivisible may go to places where Occupy largely could not.
