That’s the question Sanjeev Ranabhat tries to answer this morning for Civil Beat. He spent much of Tuesday with the Occupy Honolulu protesters as they transition into the second phase of the movement, six months after they began.

He writes:

In those early months, about 40 protesters lived at the camp and more than 50 participated in daily meetings, called the “General Assembly.” The assembly required a minimum of 20 people to form a quorum.

Nowadays, the number of active protesters has dwindled to just a handful.

Less than 10 people stay at the camp and only 10 people are now required to conduct a meeting, which happens twice a week if they have enough people.
