Marches, Demonstration, Protests or Strike and Picket line?
Marches, Demonstration, Protests or Strike and Picket line? This is an important question for strategic reasons. Consider that Unions do not need to get a permit to either strike or picket. If this was slightly restructured and we termed this a strike, picket lines and collective bargaining then the general public would understand and stand behind this eventually. Unions eventually would stand behind this or risk losing their rights to strike, picket and to collective bargaining. Eventually, the Unions would also honor the picket line. If we said we were all members of the Occupy Movement, … Continued

Middle Ground for all Occupiers, Unions and the General Public
Is there anything such as Middle Ground for all Occupiers, Unions and the General Public? This post is so that we, as fellow occupiers, can find the middle ground we need to move this process forward. Each of us have goals and visions that we want to see come to fruition. Each of us have our life experiences to draw upon and each of us feel slighted when another disregards our vision because it is akin to disregarding our life experiences. To facilitate a constructive dialog we have to find … Continued

Has anyone asked the local Native American nations to send reps to our GA?
As someone who is relatively new to the Occupy Movement (my first GA was this past Wednesday,) I am trying to catch up on what has been done already, and what is still a fresh new idea. Has anyone contacted the local Native nations and asked them to send people to participate in the General Assembly process? It occurred to me that as people who have been completely unrepresented since their lands were stolen, they’d have a thing or two to contribute… 20495

OccupyEquality
In the spirit of working groups within local occupations, many of us have acknowledged a need for a national working group with an emphasis on Equality, be it gender, race, or sexuality. For this reason OccupyEquality.us was started, and though it is still in its infancy, we are looking to spread the word, as well as put boots to asses so to speak and get more bodies involved. If this is something you are interested in, please spread the word and join us, thanks! 20060

On “law” and state political repression of Occupy/Decolonize in the lands now called the United States …
This essay gets it right. After all, the American people claiming democratic rights is just oh so inconvenient for the 1% and their representatives. Oakland’s municipal legal experiments are part of a national project to destroy American civil liberties. Tactics and strategies for repression, as well as legal innovations, to make the American people “sit down and shut up” are doubtless being shared across jurisdictions nationally. Stand up, fight back! http://www.salon.com/2012/02/14/occupy_fights_the_law_will_the_law_win/singleton/ John Hayakawa Torok 19871
