I sadly bring this to Oakland’s attention because you are listed on the interoccupy article V convention site.
Update: The group from the call is forming a Corporation, non-profit, and they have already stated axing people even before becoming official. While I thought it was a good idea, and still do, those who took it over and started their hierarchical Corporation, have, no surprise, become Corporate in their treatment of the Volunteer staff. From my experience, they have no regard for people, unless you were ‘in on it’ from the start and belong to the ‘inner circle.’
Theirs is the same Corporate model we are fighting against. Their Mission statement is still not final, but it includes references to being from the occupy movement. A gentleman from occupyaustin is writing this document. It is sickening how this group twists and squirms in their meetings trying to play percentages on whether to USE occupy or not, depending how the image of occupy is at the time.
Maybe all groups act this way. In any case, compromising can only go so far before a person ceases to be a person. I’ve been restored after drifting down the wrong path by those people. There are still some occupy people in that group, so be careful with siren songs, they are closer than you make know.
