TACTICAL BRIEFING #18
This article is available in:
Hey you creatives, artists, environmentalists, workers, moms, dads, students, malcontents, do-gooders and aspiring martyrs in the snow:
The last four months have been hard fought, inspiring and delightfully revolutionary. We brought tents, hunkered down, held our assemblies, and lobbed a meme-bomb that continues to explode the world's imagination. Many of us have never felt so alive. We have fertilized the future with our revolutionary spirit … and a thousand flowers will surely bloom in the coming Spring.
But as winter approaches an ominous mood could set in … hope thwarted is in danger of turning sour, patience exhausted becoming anger, militant nonviolence losing its allure. It isn't just the mainstream media that says things could get ugly. What shall we do to keep the magic alive?
Here are a couple of emerging ideas:
STRATEGY #1: We summon our strength, grit our teeth and hang in there through winter … heroically we sleep in the snow … we impress the world with our determination and guts … and when the cops come, we put our bodies on the line and resist them nonviolently with everything we've got.
STRATEGY #2: We declare "victory" and throw a party … a festival … a potlatch … a jubilee … a grand gesture to celebrate, commemorate, rejoice in how far we've come, the comrades we've made, the glorious days ahead. Imagine, on a Saturday yet to be announced, perhaps our movement's three month anniversary on December 17, in every #OCCUPY in the world, we reclaim the streets for a weekend of triumphant hilarity and joyous revelry.
We dance like we've never danced before and invite the world to join us.
Then we clean up, scale back and most of us go indoors while the die-hards hold the camps. We use the winter to brainstorm, network, build momentum so that we may emerge rejuvenated with fresh tactics, philosophies, and a myriad projects ready to rumble next Spring.
Whatever we do, let's keep our revolutionary spirit alive … let's never stop living without dead time.
for the wild,

I agree all of us who care whether we consider ourselves occupiers or not should gather together and hold peaceful general assemblies where people can hold various groups and where it isn't a protest but how we can change the system through our own efforts and support our local communities in whatever way we can. Forget asking the 1%, and Forget asking Washington, focus on what we can do! That's what I've wanted OWS to do. :D If there is no protest then what explanation or reasoning would there be for police to show up in riot gear and be violent? None if your not being anti-government and anti-corporation. There would be no reason for them to follow you around in their little cars either. We get to continue on being anti-greed, pro-community. Getting back to our productive humanitarian selves by working with each other to make what needs to happen take place. Ghandhi said the whole thing about the world which we all know and Martin Luther King did not give up on his dreams. Persist for good!
Dare to dream for the betterment of humanity. Cast light into the darkness.
