I am for elaborating collective discourse, but perhaps better in terms of general GOALS rather than demands. Demads are naive at this point, to put it shoftly. This is not incompatible with strategic actions that may achieve short term victories. Due to our location I think we should provide our view of the economic facts, and prioritize our actions toward short term and long term solutions. Regarding the elaboration of collective discourse, perhaps we should try some form of open source or similar wiki-process that would facilitate multiple contributions from diverse viewpoints.

It's not a MSM conspiracy when the press wonders what the movement wants or who is leading it. I think there are a lot of people in the press and even on Wall Street who are ready to support the movement wholeheartedly, if it could articulate some specifics. If OWS could identify a few basic problems -- over-concentration of capital, regulatory capture, overweening influence of money on politics, excess financialization of the economy, tax unfairness, etc -- and propose some first-step solutions to all of those things (break up the banks, force bailout recipients to give up lobbying, end the carried interest and capital gains exemptions as Michael points out, etc), you'd have more allies, you'd be educating the public about a subject that it has a tough time getting real information about through normal media, and it would prevent the other side of the debate from being able to define the movement in their own (inevitably unflattering) terms. The only thing preventing millions of people from going out onto the streets on their own is that they don't understand how Wall Street works or what it does. That to me is why the movement needs to be specific. It has a responsibility to explain these problems to the general public and to show that solutions do exist and that they're attainable. People I think need more than just the knowledge that they can protest -- they need to believe that they can fix things and that someone out there has the answers.

The number participating are far too small for the effort to have any bargaining leverage or to be perceived to represent anyone.



What is hugely disconcerting to the MSM and the officialdom is the lack of demands and the lack of easy to identify leadership These need to be understood as strengths, not weaknesses. The labor union movement was over time completely discredited because the leadership was quickly corrupted and sold out the membership. The "We are the 99%" is a VERY powerful message. It basically says "We don't need to negotiate. This is our country and we want it back from the top 1% which has been selling us out." The 1% know damned well what the 99% want. If you forced any 10 in the top 1% of them to make a list of 10 things they thought the other 99% wanted, I guarantee you'd have no more than 16 real issues (at most) among the 100 answers you'd get in total. And I strongly suspect the 99% would agree or at most restate them. They are MUCH better off making a general statement along the "We Are 99%" that holds their ground, and makes clear that their first priority is establishing their presence, building a critical mass and representation around the US. There should be a clever way of throwing the demand for demands back on the media: "It has taken years to create this mess, the public has been sold on the idea that it is powerless. Our first aim is to convey that the bottom 99% doesn't merely have the right to a seat at the table, it should not have to negotiate with the top 1% because the elites depend on our acquiescence and support for their very survival." There has to be a nice way to say that, but I would brush off the demand and make it clear that organization/membership building and (I hate to use that tired 60s term, but it fits) consciousness raising are the first priorities. The more the numbers swell, the more power this effort has. Issuing demands is not on the critical path right now and has the potential to deter people from joining. The broader public understands damned well what the aims are even if the elites and their media lapdogs are playing stupid.

Hey all... I just joined the list and plan to introduce myself. But I learned something and wanted to get it in the right hands - it's unclear what that means! Salsa is a Constituent Relationship Manager. It is used by political groups and nonprofits on the progressive side of the fence. They would like to offer use if this product to Occupy Wall Street for free. It's a great tool that I'm familiar with - it does email blasting, list building, integrates with fundraising pages, signups, advocacy actions, letters to the editor, events management, etc. Folks might have various opinions about using this. My question is: which group or committee is qualified to make a decision on such a thing on behalf of 'Occupy Wall Street'? I beg forgiveness if this was discussed previously - the NYCGA site didn't include any mention of it that I could find, so it seemed a bit like an orphan issue.

I know that there was a committee working towards this, but I wasn't sure how they were progressing, or if there was some way for folks in the encampment to start taking advantage of the spaces offered. I only bring this up, because there are a few folks who have come up to me asking about it, and I wanted to see if I could gather any more information so I could pass it on.

Others there can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we had an excellent panel on Occupy Wall St at URPE yesterday. Chris Rude, Grimwomyn, Jackie DiSalvo, Vlad, and I (John McG), explained where we came from what we are doing, and where we hope to be going. We descibed our history and how the general assembly funtions. As is common in our horizontal democracy we didn't always agree on details, but we were warmly greeted and most people in the room seemed very excited about what we were doing. Grimwomyn had multimedia going, and showed them, among other things, shots from the wearethe99% page which has really taken off, and the live feed--so that while Vlad was describing how he and the media team had set up a worldwide broadcasting network from the park, they were watching the protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge. (I think the arrests came after.) We got some suggestions fom the audience. The first was that the movement was too white and too male. We assured them that the general assembly was aware of the demographics and that we wanted to include EVERYONE, incuding more New Yorkers, and that we were working to bring more groups in as fast as possible. Another suggestion was that we organize a national or worldwide halt to the economy. We said that this is too big for us right now, but that it is on the agenda. My favorite suggestion was that we start suggesting to The People that they move their money from big banks to credit unions. This is something that could start small and grow real big real fast, and empower individuals to really hurt the big banks. Please add any thing important that I left out.

I realize that this list is not meant to include every grievance, but this is incredibly important and central to the damage done by Wall Street specifically, as opposed to capitalism as a whole.

Hi everyone, I know we have a NYC GA pamphlet, but I wanted to create something that we could give to new campers upon arrival at the Welcome Centers. Here's my start on it: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ql4xnJO1y5kChYhoSCDDImMZZkPSvycCovhGGCb0BNM/edit? hl=en_US It lays out basic rules, info about the park/neighborhood/etc. It is by no means exhaustive, but it's a start. What do people think? -justin

Hey Michael, spoke to yesterday about adding something from our group in the journal. Due to the lack of time we have come up with something very basic, for the next time we will add more but it will be great if the below text could be published. Regards Natsaha The Education and Empowerment group at OWS has been organizing Open Forum TeachIns at the square everyday at 6. Open Forum is a discussion series on the issues of the occupation. This is a space for open discussion, collaboration, support, and solidarity. We are inviting communities, organizations and individuals struggling against current injustices in society to make their voices heard and join the Occupy Wall Street movement. Community organizers, unions, minorities,Emails come from PST files that were linked to a post on biggovernment.com by Thomas Ryan. PDF by www.teapartycheer.com


immigrants, workers, students and academics are invited to speak and lead discussions. Individual and organizations of all background have a chance to share their vision and shape our movement. Feel free to share their vision and shape our movement. The Open Forum is also open to presentations on movements throughout the world. Last Sunday, the focus turned to Spain and the May 15 Movement. Participants discussed its main characteristics, focusing especially in its broad character and the novelty of its organizational forms. The need for a redefinition of politics and the importance of empowerment learning and building together an open process besides previous political identities. It was a rainy but warm evening, in which people's mic amplified ideas and words such as "Create a city / within the city / to show the city / how the city should be". Come join us for our upcoming speakers by the red beams at the square. 10/6 10/7 10/8 10/9 Naomi Klein Ruso: " Lawrence of Arabia in Wall street" : Lines on a preceding present Brian Holmes : The financial mind and transformation of global class structure. 4:30pm David Jaramillo : Photo essay on the Oaxaca uprising. 6pm Updates from Movement for justice in El Barrio 10/10 Betty Yu & Seven Renderos: Media Justice Organizing 10/13 Ali: Organizing Effectively without Hierarchy 10/14 Behzad Yaghmaian : The war on the public sector, A new global strategy for labor market restructuring.
