  1. WHAT DO WE NEED NOW?
  2.  
  3. * Organization
  4. * Connecting with other groups
  5. * Better information about how people who are not camping can participate and help
  6. * How to avoid the message being distracted, the media being distracted from message by behaviors that are noteworthy on the media
  7. * Strategic plan with list of outcomes
  8. * We have to be careful not to thing that we as the movement consisting mainly of middle-class and white and more male than female people, plus homeless contingent, represent the whole 99%, and so just generating wishes based on our perceptions, maybe exclusive rather than inclusive. More creatively involve people who may not identify as Occupy but who are actually part of 99%
  9. * In light of all the egregious stuff continuing to occur, we do need a few demands to slow or stop that such as "Prosecute Wall Street"
  10. * A winter plan, which might be to occupy a closed school or closed library
  11. * Leave the square on our terms
  12. * Continue to educate (broadly, not just social media)
  13. * Draw attention to specific legislative actions - repeal or support
  14. * Build democratic workplaces
  15. * And support more individual economic action - be more conscious how we use money
  16. * More conversations like this
  17. * Supporting candidates or focusing on specific legislation
  18. * Supporting other groups that may be occupying foreclosing buildings - City Life, Mass Uniting
  19. * Getting numbers - petitioning for support for camp, reaching out to broader community for suport
  20. * Massive winterizing tent at once, so cops can't stop us
  21. * Organizing Red Cross and union presence
  22. * Set up a Christmas tree to set up at campus so cops can't bulldoze it
  23. * Restore the social programs and economic programs that we've lost in the last 50 years
  24. * Win what we have not yet won
  25. * Intergenerational dialogue
  26. * Active listening
  27. * Accountability
  28. * Take money out of politics
  29. * Taking buildings
  30. * Guerilla occupations
  31. * Demonstrating what we have accomplished, the things that the liberal discourse doesn't recognize as accomplishments such as rebuilding community, mutual aid
  32. * What to do when we win a victory
  33. * Thinking of demands that don't put a stress as liberal reformism -- create real change, not bolster existing institutions
  34. * Non-police ways to deal with disruptions at camp
  35. * A process to communicate internally that addresses oppressions and hierarchies at the camp and in the movement
  36. * Addressing divisions that are emerging so we don't fall apart
