The following communique was produced by the OWS General Assembly on November 22, 2011. Please spread the word about this communique by sending people to this page. After the recent coordinated attacks on our peaceful occupations around the country, we need to build our communication channels so that we too can coordinate in order to strengthen our movement! We have already begun building our channels of communication at InterOccupy. This communique will help us build them even stronger. Spread the word!
This communiqué is presented by the people of the Liberty Plaza General Assembly in New York City to all the good people convening at local General Assemblies around the world.
There are hundreds of Occupations and General Assemblies standing in solidarity to protest mass injustice and create a better world. To strengthen our solidarity, we need to develop a mechanism of communication between all of our General Assemblies.
To address this need, we have created an Inter-Occupation Communication group here at Liberty Plaza. Our InterOcc group works with analogous groups from other Assemblies to provide horizontal channels of communication that adhere to open and transparent democratic processes in order to connect individuals or working groups across Occupations.
We ask that Inter-Occupation Communication groups already established at other Assemblies make their existence known to us. Given the challenges we have all been facing that may be alleviated by better communication, we suggest that any Assembly that does not yet have an Inter-Occupation Communication group establish one and announce its existence publicly.
This communiqué, along with all other official General Assembly communiqués, will be posted on InterOccupy.org. Individuals and Inter-Occupation Communication groups can also contact other InterOcc groups on InterOccupy.org.

I sign up here as someone who is working to get a Movement Building Workgroup started at Occupy Portland. It may ultimately have a different name but it’s mission will include the purpose listed above- Inte-Occupatation as well as an Inta-Occupation Portland purpose. My hope is to see this done by mid December. WR 11.27.11

How do I make this happen? Spread the story of The New Common Sense, or a redress of our ignored Constitution. Consider the possibility that it is being repressed, and see that it is given fair view.
