Heather Aiken, brought her son Henry, 4, and daughter Abigail, 5 months, down from Edmonds today to participate in Occupy Seattle, part of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Heather Aiken said “It’s important to come,” because “It'’s not the kids fault we are in this financial situation but kids are suffering.” Their signs read “Bail us out” “Families not banks” and “Forgive Student Loans."

Earthbongo, a Seattle startup that helps volunteers connect around a cause or project, is pitching in to help the Occupy Seattle movement.

Earthbongo says it is reaching out the protesters to help bring some unity to a movement that has been criticized for being disorganized and unfocused.

The site is hosting Seattle-based projects that teach users how to move their money to a local bank and donate supplies to the movement in Seattle, according to an Earthbongo announcement.

Earthbongo allows users to post projects, such as a tree planting, and then solicit other volunteers to participate. The site was founded by CEO Barry Boone, a former director with online auction site eBay.

The Occupy Seattle protest at Westlake Park is a week old, a response to the Occupy Wall Street protest in New York that has gathered momentum in Seattle and other cities.
