That is very true and very purposeful. It is not an "organization" that is run by anyone...it is a massing of people some of whom have differing reasons to be there, but all agree that what is going on is not working and that the oligarchy that runs tis country is also destroying this country and our freedoms.
We had 2000+ people marching to Grant Park from the Chicago Board of Trade on Saturday...it was pretty awesome.

By any definition of the word. The only organization I can see is by big media companies to ignore it, and coordination of police response across multiple cities. I saw many _organizations_ participating, but none were even nominally in charge. And the only thing I heard in common was the general consensus that the current laws and regulations and financial systems are NOT level playing fields, and are institutionally skewed towards the extremely wealthy. And becoming more skewed each time a new congress is elected. There was a lot of other noise, about student loans, and police states and evil corporations and anarchy and fox news, but those were not common at all.
