Along with various photos from the "We are the 99%" blog, they have also added a short video of the people who are part of the movement. Here you get to meet the members on a personal level, where they tell their words to the camera. Some are young, old, black, white, hairy, bald. Whatever the case, they aren't just "hippies." Many have had a prestigious education. They have families, previous occupations, worked hard to keep ends meet, and many of them still have a smile on their face.
Just to get an idea of what the 99%ers are up against, here is a diagram taken from the occupy wall street tumblr. The diagram compares their movement with the Tea Party movement.
