Tomorrow is the first day of spring. I had it in my head that it is the perfect day for the Occupiers to take the Proposed Petition for Redress and Pledge of Action to their friends and families, use…Continue

The Occupy movement is at a crossroads. Spring arrives in a few days. All winter, various factions and clusters have been working on projects. The wheels have been turning. Ideas have been batted about. There have been a few actions, a few incidents. Personally, I have fallen into a number of rabbit holes, each extraordinary and promising. However, we are where we were on 8 November 2012 when I wrote the Proposed Petition for Redress and Pledge of Action. (…

I have spent some time looking over bits and pieces of the Occupy movement, a scan, if you will, of our present state. We remain encamped, only now the places are in the cloud. The feeling is inescapable that so much energy is being wasted treading water. I see references to actions here and there. Things are being done. People are talking. Plans are being laid. And there remains no forward momentum. The ride has stopped.
I see calls to greater action, coordinated action, mass…

I spent so much time from the ages of 11 or 12 to 33 researching, exploring, watching, feeling, teaching political change movements, embracing not swallowing. I have stretched the gates a bit at the start and end. Not by much. The Vietnam protests were winding down at the beginning and I was representing Act Up protesters and staying up late with dying friends when that part of my life ended. There they are. Two seriously American bookends for the 20 plus years reading, great piles of books…

Ruffbear7 said… Thank you for your message, Miss Peace. Not to sound too suspicious, for I am a trusting bear by nature, but how will your picture help me know who you are? And to where would we be moving from here if I accept your invitation? I see you are new to occupii and have a limited profile. I always welcome a helping hand, but I prefer to see it palm up.

Where to begin…first - I apologize for this being so LONG everyone knows I hate wordy drawn out blogs so ... karma? Who knows.
There’s a small retaining pond behind the college apartments. I go back there several times a day; it’s a good area that forces me to have a bit of a walk. …

I was just endiing a campaign in Michigan against our Governor, and wondered what more was out there, what more can I do to help make my country the place I used to love, when I stumbled across a thing called Livestream, where people with the same purpose (supposedly) or like mindness could come together, chat, discuss, plan, and act and I was to say the least, excited. I started chatting and made so many friends and it was then I realized, that I had been wrapped up in my own small…
