Natural disasters, like Hurricane Sandy, although cause the destruction of homes, material possessions and lives of countless people, often expose underlying problems in a community and help bring together the community on a common goal. In the case of Hurricane Sandy, that goal was to help those who lost everything rebuild their homes and their lives. In “Occupy Sandy: A movement moves to Relief”, Occupy Sandy has been able to do what many government agencies and larger charities haven’t, provide aid to those in need. As Ms. Gallista, field coordinator, put it, “For a long time, we were the only people out here doing relief work.” By providing flashlights, hot meals, warm blankets…etc, this organization has been able to bring together the community. Despite place a large shadow on the lives of many, Hurricane Sandy has illuminated a movement, the Occupy movement. It has encouraged many residents to join the movement and help aid others
