"Occupy Wall Street General Assembly 2011" by shankbone on flickr
This diary is to build a catalog of contact info for organizations that should be lobbied to build support for #OccupyWallStreet.
Begin with organizations or groups that do organizing in the Manhattan area. Then branch out to other organizations likely to support #OccupyWallStreet that operate in Manhattan and the other boroughs. That should get a good list going.
Use the comments for these links and for ideas about how to contact and involve these organizations. If your network includes contacts that work with these organizations and groups, contact them about #OccupyWallSt and post their response as to the prospects of getting support and people to #OccupyWallSt.
On the off chance that we run out of organizations and groups in NYC, then look to the suburbs.
Update Sep 22 1:12 PM:
This diary has evolved into a general diary for all sorts of support of #OccupyWallStreet.

These 2 NY city branches of socialist organizations would definitely be worth contacting:
Solidarity: nyc@solidarity-us.org (website: http://nysolidarity.org/)
Phone:(718) 858-3458 (Charlie), (347) 573-0773 (Chloe)
International Socialist Organization: nyciso@gmail.com (website: http://www.internationalsocialist.org/index.html)
phone: 646-452-8662
Do you have folks in your personal network who know the folks there?
Or can you do a tweet of “Is #UUDistrictofMetroNY supporting #OccupyWallStreet?”
Do you have folks in your personal network who know these folks?
If you are on Twitter, can you tweet “Is #IntSocOrg supporting #OccupyWallSt?” Or something to that effect that picks up their Twitter name?
I was thinking of just posting on their facebook wall and emailing them? Maybe I can try to find them on twitter?

Either my googlefu is faltering, or NY, NY doesn’t have a hyperlocal leftie blogosphere?
Try the Village Independent Democrats.
