A Movement is Born

As #OWS spreads across the country, people are realizing, it's time to live!

This article is available in:

Jammers, dreamers, rabble-rousers, revolutionaries,

#OCCUPYWALLSTREET is thundering across America, threatening to morph into a full fledged national movement. Channeling the nonviolence of the Egyptian Tahrir Square uprising and the bottom-up collective decision making of the Spanish acampadas, we vow to end the monied corruption of our democracy.

This Saturday #OCCUPYWALLSTREET enters its third week … be there at Noon and stay for the weekend … or be at one of the 50+ fledgling occupations now being organized across the land.

Our people's democracy movement is about to get three mighty boosts:

  • On October 6, a few thousand of us will swarm the capital and #OCCUPYDC. Find out the plan at october2011.org
  • On October 15th, the movement goes global … check it out at 15october.net
  • Then, on November 3 and 4, we have something special in mind for when the G20 leaders meet in France.

Time to live!

PS.

Our movement needs more edgy theatrics … maybe we should tar and feather the Charging Bull … or burn an effigy of Lloyd Blankfein? Send your wild ideas to [email protected].

To get a sense of the visceral mood at #OCCUPYWALLSTREET, check out the daily dispatches from OccupyTVNY along with the mini-documentaries "We Are The 99%" and "Nobody Can Predict The Moment Of Revolution." Also, David Graeber's op-ed in the Guardian and Nathan Schneider's article in the Nation are worth reading.

You should see this -- it was made a year ago by someone who had also made a documentary film with Elizabeth Warren about the credit card industry and I think this is his next film (music video, actually). It's all about Wall Street greed and corruption: http://youtu.be/SQUxzJMSNNw

"Cause now the fire is out of control,
Panic in the city, wicked weeping for their souls
Everywhere this fiyah is burning,
Destroying and melting their gold,
-Destroying and waisting their souls."

Being idiots. Wasting valuable tax dollars and police efforts. Generally annoying the public by trying to bring about "change" in the least effective way possible. The pictures make it look very romantic, very moving. Its not.

The police policy towards "keeping everything looking normal"juxtaposed with a movement exposing whats going on under the surface is what is costing taxpayer money. They need to stop arresting people and go away. Ignore their orders. Take the suspension and go to Liberty Plaza to occupy with the rest of the 99%!
