Hey All -

Amy Goodman is going to be doing a press conference at 1p on the corner of Liberty and Broadwayabout the treatment of press by the police. She just settled a law suit with the NYPD from the RNC.

Livestream?

I think it would be great to ask her some questions about how the environment has changed with the

rise of social media and how that has affected the treatment of independent journalist.

I'll be in in like half an hour.

Subject: SPAM-MED: [september17discuss] Direct Participatory Democratic Network - Where Revolution Streches in theHorizon


Dear all;

Talking to other people at Liberty Square, there is strong reason to believe that agood picture of what this occupation is all about has been conceptualized. This issomething that maybe everyone already recognized, intuitively or not. We aremarching not necessarily for demands, but for value systems. We are marching forvalues. Values such as solidarity, emancipation, social justice, humanization, humanrights, etc.In these values, that's where goals and demands fit, but above all - THIS IS W HYWE M ARCH!

I'd like to share this vision of the movement with the broader collective. In the

process, will attempt to(1) ditch the "one line demand meme", hopefully for good;(2) talk about what we are organically building -a Direct ParticipatoryDemocratic Network and(3) subvert-appropriate the "one line demand" meme to a "one line purpose" meme.Bear strong with me. It is a fun ride.For all those who have been following the developments in Liberty Square, we canobserve that the General Assembly became a convergence point for dissent socialmovements. Here we have feminists, queer groups, environmental groups, anti-wargroups, permaculture/foodies, anti-racism, anti-police brutality, pro-immigrants,human right activists, disabled body people, labor unions, animal rights andeven animals themselves (dogs and cats so far, :-). Not to mention a broadset of political orientations, such as marxists, anarchists, liberals, etc etc.

All these individuals, organizations, and social movements recognized the legitimacyof the square to voice out their suppressed views to the public in hope of buildingempathy for change; they are all saying enough to representative democracyand are embracing direct participatory democracy as a better way to sharegrievances, build solidarity, and solve problems. Doing politics and life withpeopleand not forpeople or despite people, which is the status quo of our politik so far.This is why we cannot, under any circumstances, narrow our increasingly broad-based movement (and thus POWER) to a one line demand.It is time to open possibilities, not close them. How can we leverage the powerrallying at the General Assemblies? How can we make sure that they sew togetherthe strenght of scattered social movements into an unstoppable force? Through thepeople's Direct Participatory Democratic Network we are building.Let's Imagine, as Lennon w ould put it. General Assemblies at thecommunity level, at the city level, at state and national level, and finally at the globallevel, working with each other, in conversation with each other, building solidaritytogether and coordinating actions. All through physical means (offline) and virtual

agree, there is nothing apolitical in human affairs. This movement was clearly bornwith a leftist revolutionary call. Rather than a single demand, we have a "one linepurpose", under which all these dissent groups including pro-environment andanimal rights groups) rally around:we are a human struggle against oppression in al l its forms. Alas, a "oneline purpose".

Domestic violence or neoliberal capitalism's biases and exclusions; humandestruction of the biosphere; all forms of personal or impersonaloppression perpetrated by individuals, groups, corporations, banks, corruptedstructures. we are a human struggle against oppression in al l its forms.This is it seems what we've been doing. The big picture. Whereis radicalism, revolution? It is on direct, autonomous, inclusive democracywhere voices are amplified and heard across miles, influencing memes andcoordinating actions to emancipate the human race and the planet. A way to knowwe are successful? When power recognizes the legitimacy of theGeneral Assembly constituency to speak for themselves and self-represent.

THIS IS WHY W E MARCH . We march for values. Enough of Libert, Egalit,Fraternit. Rather, let's chant a new song:Humanization, Emancipation, Solidarity!Thoughts?

It is too late to put this to GA attention, so I will tweet now on theone condition that we make an effort to pass a resolution that in thefuture we completely reject the entire idea of requiring a "permit" toexercise Constitutionally guaranteed rights. Of what possible,conceivable use is a freedom of speech and assembly which we must askfor? Asking for permissions implies legitimacy of a "no" answer. Theentire purpose of this freedom is to give us the ability tounilaterally assert ourselves when our representatives fail torepresent us. The requirement of a permit is a direct nullificationof what is an unbridgeable right.

For the benefit of others, I present the text of the 1st amendment.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom ofspeech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably toassemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Where does it say in there that a permit is required? Where does itsay that I must ask the government's permission politely to disagreewith it? Nowhere, and through civil disobedience we can put these"laws" where they belong, a sad note in the history books.

We have a just right to assembly and speech. If the city wants tostand in the way of this, let them. The Constitution trumps city law,

not the other way around.

Subject: SPAM-MED: [september17discuss] Re: Direct Participatory Democratic Network - Where Revolution Streches inthe Horizon


Although I am not an active participant or Liberty Plaza Park camperright now, I cannot resist answering some of the messages/ideasexpressed on this e-mail list. If people feel I shouldn't be doingso, just let me know...

Ale, I have two concerns when I read your description/message below.One is that in your idea about why we are marching (and I still caninclude myself in that "we" because I have been marching with many ofyou a lot of the time), you seem to have forgotten about the verycrushing, real, concrete economic hardship that is being inflicted onso many of us, about the crisis of unemployment in a society in whichemployment is required - at least at some point - for survival (and isalso used by many as a measure of one's worthiness to participate insociety), and about the absurd inequality of our economic system. I

thought inequality was one of the main reasons that we are marching.So, I am always baffled by your repeated insistence on dropping"egalite" from the "song" that you think we should chant.

Secondly, I love the idea of general assemblies spreading throughoutthe world to practice and create direct participatory democracy.However, I hope that the concept of direct, participatory democracybeing pursued does not have to include all the features of consensusprocess (or a particular kind of consensus process) that have beenpopular with activist groups for a while. (People who don't know saythis is all new, but I know it isn't. When I first joined the GA, Iwas surprised at how many details and gimmicks in the process wereidentical to what I'd seen in Direct Action Network a dozen yearsago.) My biggest fear in this area is with regard to the danger thatconsensus process has begun to be seen as a necessary ingredient indirect democracy (which it most certainly is not). I have heard thatthe GAs are really falling back on a form of majority voting prettyoften anyway (is this true?), but I think that the emphasis onconsensus, and the equation of many people (especially the neweractivists) between consensus and "real democracy" would be a drag onthe effectiveness and popularity of general assemblies in general. Iam also concerned that the movement for democratic assemblies might bedragged down by the numerous gimmicks that are peculiar to this trendin process, but which I don't see as necessary - e.g., everything from"vibes watching" to certain identity-based concepts of the progressivestack to the twinkling of fingers (I don't mind "twinkling," I do itmyself :) - but a lot of people don't see that as necessary at all).

Because of time limits, I can't really comment adequately re. otherthoughts that have occurred to me. However, I will add that I don'tsee all concerns related to all different "dissent socialmovements" (which is a broad enough category to be very changeable anddebatable) as being "points" from which the social struggle andeventual revolution (I hope) to oppose and replace the present social-economic system can be waged with equal significance oreffectiveness. (Hoping that sentence is not too convoluted, butagain, my eloquence in this matter is limited by time, as I am a veryslow writer.) And while I know this is a terrible heresy here and



8/3/2019 _USDOR 0911-1013 ab_Part23

41/250

now, I do think that one "concern" and source of struggle that canunite the broadest range of people in a struggle against the root ofour problems is class. I would say, "class" as a concept that can bedebated, studied, updated beyond the usual stereotypical assumptions,but class nonetheless, based on people's economic role in thesociety. (Call me a dated old Marxist, if you like - though I was ananarchist activist first, well acquainted with these many supposedly"new" approaches a good number of years ago.)

And, on a related point - or back to the first point - I also kind ofthought we were marching to address issues of economic power andcontrol that have been neglected by fashionable activist movements inour area for decades, which is one major reason we find ourselves inthe present social disaster.

Anyway, I hope this message has not been too cumbersome, and onceagain, if I am too detached from the group (at least in physicalpresence) to be offering such lengthy and somewhat dissentingopinions, you (all) should just tell me, and I will take that intomajor consideration. :)

Is there a way that I can remotely participate in this meeting through

Skype or something?

I can confirm that the Tactical Committee has indeed evolved into the

Direct Action Committee. Those of us from the original TacticalCommittee are not really involved in the Direct Action Committee sincewe can't be in the park every day, but the new people who have takenover are doing an awesome job. I don't have contact info for any ofthem but I know that one of the more active members is named Chris. Tofind him and the rest of the committee, it's probably best to go to aGA and talk to them after the committee gives a report back. You canbe certain that they're already discussing this issue.

As some people have already mentioned, it's best not to discusspotential new occupation locations on this listserve.
