Members of the Occupy Wall Street movement have a new cause: recovery.
They have joined forces with volunteers under the name "Occupy Sandy: Coney Island" and are trying to bring more attention to storm-ravaged areas that they say aren't getting a lot of coverage.
Feeling that Coney Island had been forgotten, Bronx resident Rachel Cauvin took her own camera and documented the recovery effort in this seaside part of Brooklyn.
She went there to volunteer and she says seeing the aftermath of Sandy in person made her feel privileged and blessed that she lived in an area where that avoided this kind of mass destruction.
