1. Update on NYC Liberation Summer C- Brief review of first call- worked on a clarification of vision statement.  Already in the works are local trainings, this may end up being a “liberation fall” 2. What’s happening around the country? C- Looking for more info about national gathering this summer in Philadelphia S- Encouraging more training on “abolition” training and New Jim Crow. Q- I’m seeking clarity, are the local actions to lead to a national gathering? DR- We are organizing in NY state FIRST, we don’t feel we have the capacity to organize something of that magnitude in such a short time.  Keeping longevity in mind we want to make sure we organize thoroughly and effectively, not too hastily. Q- In regards to ’64 freedom summer- will we be engaging the history of that and sharing that info nationally as we “market” the campaign? DR- There hasn’t been emphasis on ’64 summer but that’s  great idea and it was the inspiration. Q- Has there been any outreach to any other organizations addressing similar issues? DR- Contact with incarceration network has been established. Q- Outreach- Are there any other groups that are doing organizing around abolition and have expressed interest? [...]

We have not remained silent! Our consciousness has awakened, and we have joined the wave of collective consciousness now spreading light and hope to every corner of the world. From Tunisia to Tahrir Square, Madrid to Rejkavik, New York to Brussels, people are rising up. In the Arab Spring, in the dignity of Iceland, in the dignified rage of 15M and Occupy Wall Street. Together we have denounced the status quo. Our effort states clearly ‘enough!’, and has even begun to push changes forward, worldwide. This is why we, women and men, inhabitants of this planet, are uniting once again to make our voices heard this May 12th. All over the world. We denounce the current condition of our planet, and urge the application of different policies, designed to encourage and promote the common good.

1) “WE DON’T OWE! WE WON’T PAY!”    The 15M citizens’ assemblies in different cities in Spain, along with other networks and social organizations, have built a platform for a Citizen Debt Audit to determine its illegitimacy. It began a process led by the people to address the debt problem, denouncing those responsible for it and demanding the non-payment of an illegitimate debt.   In Spain, as in other countries in the European periphery, we are witnessing a Debt Crisis used to justify the social cuts and austerity policies which are destroying social and labor rights won with the effort and struggle of past generations. Basic public services such as education, health and social services are being reduced and privatized with impunity. Citizens are seeing their retirement age delayed, their living conditions made precarious, their pensions freeze and their labor rights disappear.   There is more than enough evidence of illegitimacy in the Spanish Government’s debt, as, together with the EU and regional governments, they are using it as the reason to go ahead with bleeding austerity policies.   This is why we have the right to know, to understand the details of the process that led us to this [...]

May 1, 2012 – Cleveland While the persons arrested Monday evening by the FBI have participated in Occupy Cleveland events, they were in no way representing or acting on behalf of Occupy Cleveland. Occupy Cleveland has affirmed the principles of non-violence since its inception on October 6, 2011. Occupy Cleveland has spoken out and worked against violence in all its forms, including: Wars and occupations Economic violence of financial inequality, unemployment, debt and foreclosure Social violence of racism, sexism and homophobia Environmental violence of global warming and fracking Occupy Cleveland believes the only way to respond to a violent federal and corporate state is through active non-violence. It is unfortunate that this occurred on the eve of May Day, the day the Occupy movement and workers around the world have taken to the streets, demanding justice. What has happened in no way discredits the issue and the non-violent methods of Occupy Cleveland and the Occupy movement world-wide.

Get the Same Services at Lower Cost Most locally owned banks and credit unions offer the same array of services, from online bill paying to debit and credit cards, at much lower cost than big banks. Average fees at small banks and credit unions are substantially lower than at big banks, according to national data. Studies show that small financial institutions also offer, on average, better interest rates on savings and better terms on credit cards and other loans. read more…

  We are living in a world controlled by forces incapable of giving freedom and dignity to the world´s population (if, indeed, they ever were). A world where we are told ‘there is no alternative’ to the loss of rights achieved through the long, hard struggles of our ancestors. We find ourselves in a world where success is defined in seeming opposition to the most fundamental values of humanity, such as solidarity and mutual support. Moreover, anything that does not promote competitiveness, selfishness and greed is seen as dysfunctional. This immoral ideology is reinforced by the monopoly of the mainstream media, the instrument that manufactures false consensus around this unfair and unsustainable system. But we have not remained silent! Our consciousness has awakened, and we have joined the wave of collective consciousness now spreading light and hope to every corner of the world. From Tunisia to Tahrir Square, Madrid to Rejkavik, New York to Brussels, people are rising up. In the Arab Spring, in the dignity of Iceland, in the dignified rage of 15M and Occupy Wall Street.

meeting minutes for RevOlympics!   Attendees: Kimi, Occupy Santa Barbara Tracy, InterOccupy TA Alexandre Carvalho, #OWS/Revolutionary Games   Brief introductions of call participants. Call started debriefing MayDay. Discussion focused on the importance of the date, a show of force, and the challenges moving forward. How to bring a new ideology to occupy? how to move forward recruiting more folks, swelling our ranks, without watering down our movement? Bridging strategies, the obsession with “re-occupation” that at this point seems sterile, and other contextual issues were discussed. Then we moved to the windows of (memetic) opportunity available for us right now.   A strong meme that will start coming in the picture in late Spring/Summer, despite the omnipresent US Elections, is the 2012 London Olympics. The event, which is organized by a centralized committiee and spouses the ideology of cutthroat competition and strife between  nation-states, is a perfect one to ride the wave around and subvert. The question then was, “why don’t we have our own Games, the People’s Games, the Games of the 99%, where individuals #playtogether and put forth their deeds/messages for a better world? Yes, another world is possible and yes, another Olympics is possible: RevOlympics! These games would [...]

InterOccupy Communique for May 1, 2012 We, at InterOccupy, support all forms of nonviolent protest, not just on May Day, but every day.  While all participants in the Occupy movement express their societal dissatisfaction and position in various ways, we respect those important differences and work to open and expand the lines of communication among all individuals.  Our common critique of Wall Street unites us in action and InterOccupy provides an avenue for people to address these issues of concern. Our mission at InterOccupy is threefold: communication, coordination, and activation. The conference calls leading up to May Day were contentious at points. These disagreements illustrated that InterOccupy opened up a communication space where people felt comfortable expressing a range of contradictory ideas. Additionally, this dialogue allowed us to share thoughts that aided in harmonizing and solidifying our message of disagreement with a system that does not represent us. Most importantly, we were able to discuss methods of outreach as well as plans for action and then implement them in our own cities. Your participation and passion continue to inspire us as we continue to help coordinate future actions both locally and nationally. May Day is but one day where we [...]

The events began on Wednesday, April 25, in the Park Blocks around 5:30 p.m. during the Occupy The Trees event. The 6-day event included a children’s march and a scavenger hunt for nature items, and featured speeches from children about the environment. Children were playing in the Park Blocks bushes when police, instead of explaining to the children why their play was prohibited, began an interaction with the children’s parents that resulted in a heated scene. Some children began to cry. Afterward, another officer attempted to interact with one of the children by offering the child a police sticker. The child’s mother asked the police officer not to give her child the sticker. The officer persisted and when her child reached for the sticker, the mother swatted her child’s hand, which was close to the police officer’s, and he immediately called out assault. The mother and her partner left the Park Blocks and were pursued by [...]

Dear Occupiers, We at The Civilians create work based upon interviews taken from real people who find themselves in a particular political or social circumstance of controversy or interest. Over the past several months we’ve been interviewing people involved in the Occupy Wall Street movement. With these interviews we’ve held two cabaret-type performances in Joe’s Pub at The Public Theater in NYC. Now we are getting everyone involved! Working with the spirit of the Occupy movement we have come to envision a theater project that reflects the quality of energy of the movement itself. That vision has manifested into a grassroots theater project called Occupy Your Mind. The Civilians invites artists of all types (even artists still in the artistic closet!) to engage in the work that we do regularly; to interview Occupiers near you and ultimately to share a video of your Occupy performance with the world, online. All the performances on the website will be part of the creative commons, which allows groups across the country/world to have access to these performances and make an Occupy Your Mind evening of performance or find another way to use the material. To become part of, you just: - find someone [...]

Contrary to the corporate noise machine, the US Post Office has never been mandated to show a profit. It is a government service to the citizens of the United States. With these proposed cuts in postal service the oligarchs will ratchet up the noise to abolish the Post Office and its unionized work force. You can look forward to the privatization of mail services because the “old” Post Office couldn’t compete with private package delivery services. ACTION: As red-blooded Americans it is time we all help out the Post Office. Here is how you can help and to strike back at the banksters, credit card companies and credit/debt slavery and cost the banks some money at the same time…. All of us get the [...]

Announcing, free OCCUPY ebook, detailing how corporations have overtaken our food and our health. http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/133065 Occupy Wall Street has opened a dialogue about life as we know it in America. This short book carries the discussion one step further reviewing the American system as it pertains to your health and well-being. Simple diagrams help you to map where you are and where you very likely want to be. Documented with helpful links throughout. Like, what happens inside the human body after consuming a single fast food hamburger? And what is the relationship between illness and modern farming/ranching methods? With rapid appreciation for the benefits of organic growing methods comes general confusion about what it all means. Not any more! Within just fifteen minutes of reviewing these diagrams, better clarity is the likely outcome. As the author, I have contributed to the OCCUPY discussion by creating this free resource. Any suggestions you have for calling attention further to these issues are welcomed and appreciated. Initial feedback: “This is soooo awesome! So well laid out and brilliantly designed! I’m going to post this on our Body Detox Facebook fan page!” Seattle, WA “Scott…uh what can I say besides frickin’ awesome!!?? Thanks for [...]

Occupy Merced Will be occupying Merced City Hall on Fridays until May 12, 2012. After May 12, 2012 a 24/7 occupation will begin to bring attention to the law Merced City Council is planning on repealing on May 21, 2012 called “Just Cause for Eviction”. The Realtors Association of Merced is putting pressure on the council to repeal it and Occupy Merced is working with the state-wide organization Tenants Together to prevent this. We have the support of three council members but want to put the pressure on the council with media attention. I need to add, at this point, THE ORDINANCE ENFORCEMENT FOR THIS IS NOT COSTING THE CITY OF MERCED “ONE DIME”. There is no cost. Background: With the foreclosure crisis going on, people are losing their homes every day. We, Occupy Merced, have taken up this cause on behalf of the renters in these homes. Renters are given very little notice to “move out” of the foreclosed house, often being harassed by the bank owning the property. We succeeded in getting “Just Cause for Eviction” passed in the City of Merced, only to have City Council now want to repeal it. This would allow them to remain [...]

People of all nationalities and backgrounds will voice their appreciation for the planet and demand its protection. Together we will stand united for a sustainable future and call upon individuals, organizations, and governments to do their part. While the a majority of American people call out for alternative energy sources, our government only responds to the interests of these big polluters. The very corporations that lobby our government in order to pollute, publicly admit that climate change is an issue, but ignore it in favor of continued record profits for Wall Street. On Earth Day April 22nd 2012, let’s stand together and raise awareness and celebrate our glorious planet! The day begins at noon on the beach at the [...]

We the people of Salt Lake City invite all those opposed to the tyranny of the 1% to join us from July 23-28th 2012 in providing a warm welcome for the 39th Annual Meeting of the American Legislative Exchange Council. This annual meeting by ALEC is paid for and attended by corporate sponsors who sit behind closed doors with our elected state legislators. At these meetings laws are created without the voice of the people that will later benefit those same corporate sponsors at the expense of our communities. ALEC functions as the most influential mechanism by which corporations maintain their dominance over people and policy by occupying our political institutions. ALEC is responsible for thirty nine years worth of oppressive legislation. Model legislation proposed by ALEC and enacted by our elected representatives have destroyed workers rights and strangled free speech. These model policies have driven the privatization of agriculture, education, health care, and the prison industry all at the expense of the ecosystems that sustain us. We will not allow this systemic corruption to continue. We the people have developed direct democratic communities and processes to challenge the status quo. We call for a local and national convergence of [...]

I wanted to share this story of these NYPD officers taking revenge on me. As you might know I make it a habit of filming the many incidents of the NYPD, Stopping and Frisking people in the Harlem community. On December 2, 2011 when I was leaving my weekly Campaign To End The New Jim Crow working group meeting at Riverside Church, I was pulled over by 2 NYPD officers. It turned out that it was the same 2 officers I had filmed in a Copwatch, Stop and Frisk incident this summer. During the video below you can hear the officers talking to me and saying that they know who I am and know my background. At minute, 5:05 the officer can be heard saying, “You done selling drugs yet or what? I know your rap sheet.” Then again around 5:55 the officer can be heard saying, “Go Sell some more drugs Sir. We know your background, I know who you are.” Flashback to a few weeks ago when I was driving through Harlem and these same officers pulled me over. As they approached my car and recognized me they said, “hey we know you, you’re that murderer.” I asked [...]
