About
A supporter’s thoughts on Occupy Wall Street and related movements. What it might mean. Where I hope we might be headed. Particular local consideration for Brooklyn, NY.
Because it’s important to acknowledge where people are coming from (maybe especially on the internet), I am:
Thirty-something and male, white, straight and married, currently employed by a nonprofit organization in Manhattan and living in Brooklyn.
Hi, I agree with everything you’ve posted so far. I am working diligently with a group of people on an experimental, direct democracy approach to building a party platform and supporting candidates. We need all the people we can get and this widespread reservation about not forming plans of action outside of “grow” is tough to crack. http://www.occupationparty.org or add me on facebook if you use it.
Hey – thanks for the comment. I know there’s been a lot of controversy about various sites claiming to represent movement-related parties. Perhaps more of this is related to the “Occupy Party” site rather than yours, though I note you have a substantial section of your site dedicated to the question of “hijacking” the movement.
