For my contribution to the "Project for Awesome" 2011 Charity Event is donating to the cause of Occupy Wall Street livestreamers. These people who simply by using their cellphones have been documenting this "social movement" by showing everything from protesters committing crimes to police brutality. I am not asking you to donate or agree with the #OWS movement itself, I am asking you to support your own cities local streamer who has made it possible for us to see these events.

YouTube has made it possible for all of us to upload videos stating whatever opinion we may have and a lucky few of us get paid for it. Support citizen journalists in their attempt to make sure transparency is all aspects of civil discourse are documented!
I donated this year to Spencer Mills aka OakFoSho out of Oakland, California. You can watch and learn more about him at: http://oakfosho.com/

Here is a great video from Time Magazine showing how just one "citizen journalist" is changing the way we look at the press. http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2101745_2102134_21...

Good video. However, this has a "leave britney alone' set styling.

I'd love to donate but I don't have enough for myself.

@dharmaburning It is because the lighting from my window was the best place to film this. LOL :D
