Map what you want to occupy
Protesters continue to gather in NYC to decry an expanding set of economic injustices, but we can't all set up camp outside the site of our personal grievances. From the vending machine that won’t relinquish your candy to international policy, we want to understand how you feel about things no matter where you are or what the issue is.
Tell us: WHERE AND WHAT DO YOU WANT TO OCCUPY? What is out of control in your world, or neighborhood, or apartment? What would you do if you could take charge? How would things be different? Have you ever occupied something?
Looking for inspiration? Declare your own occupation with a submission that begins “I would occupy ____ because...” or add your occupation site to our OCCUPY MAP!

Our goal is to get at least one submission from each state and as many submissions from around the world. Send in your submission to writepentales@gmail.com with the following in the subject line: "Occupy ____, your name and location".
We're accepting works until October 31st midnight.
We will present submissions in numerical order on our site as they come in.
Finally, we will write a larger PenTales Manifesto based on what you want to occupy and change in the world. We will print and distribute by hand on the streets of New York. Voila! Maybe we'll even make a difference.
PenTales was created in New York City by two childhood friends who've always loved to swap tales. We're now a community of thousands around the world who share our perspectives in person and online in photography, writing, and video on topics that unite us all.
