Activist Movement: Dates to know in January

PREFACE:
I am writing this calendar list, not because I know all of the dates to be aware of.
I am writing to get things started.
Please send me your info and dates and I will start getting them included, this is only the first of the month of Occupy 2012 movement progress.
(There is going to be a much better way of doing this soon. However, until someone comes along and says, I want to help you make the calendar better....today it is a list.  I have not found a solid location for information such as important dates, so I start one here. I am starting with just the list to get the dates out there. Please send me details and I will fill it in as we go.) Thank you.
