On Saturday, March 3, it was announced that there's only $89,000 dollars in the bail fund, while the general fund has only $44,000. Based on occupy's $10,000 a week kitchen budget, its $4,000 a month metrocard budget, its medic budget, and the budget for internet access for its website, the OWS General fund will be depleted in three weeks. The announcement can be found on livetweet
Unless the OWS general fund has an 11th hour rescue, for all practical purposes, it will be finished. Affinity occupy groups would still be able to do their own fundraising for direct actions. There are rumors that Ben and Jerry would like to donate to Occupy.
