LadyTrubbel: RT @OccupyWall. Geeks Are the New Guardians of Our Civil Liberties. A decade-plus of anthropological fieldwork among hackers and like-minded geeks has led me to the firm conviction that these people are building one of the most vibrant civil liberties movements we’ve ever seen. It is a culture committed to freeing information, insisting on privacy, and fighting censorship, which in turn propels wide-ranging political activity. In the last year alone, hackers have been behind some of the most powerful political currents out there. Before I elaborate, a brief word on the term “hacker” is probably in order. Even among hackers, it provokes debate. For instance, on the technical front, a hacker might program, administer a network, or tinker with hardware. Ethically and politically, the variability is just as prominent. Despite their differences, there are certain websites and conferences that bring the various hacker clans together.

The linchpin was a “Blackout Day”—a Web-based protest of unprecedented scale. LadyTrubbel: RT @leslieosd: LadyTrubbel: RT @occupyfarm. LadyTrubbel: RT @OccupyTamp. OCCUPY the DNC | 2012.

Drawing on seven integrated design principles, the World Café methodology is a simple, effective, and flexible format for hosting large group dialogue. World Café can be modified to meet a wide variety of needs. Specifics of context, numbers, purpose, location, and other circumstances are factored into each event's unique invitation, design, and question choice, but the following five components comprise the basic model: 1) Setting: Create a "special" environment, most often modelled after a café, i.e. small round tables covered with a checkered tablecloth, butcher block paper, colored pens, a vase of flowers, and optional "talking stick" item.

There should be four chairs at each table. 2) Welcome and Introduction: The host begins with a warm welcome and an introduction to the World Café process, setting the context, sharing the Cafe Etiquette, and putting participants at ease. Chicago Bail Fund. LadyTrubbel: RT @OpWallStre. _m3rs6g8kxY1rpcpjeo1_1280. So what the fuck has occupy done so far? 13 Lucky Tips for Activists. By Errol Schweitzer, October 1998 INEVITABLE DISCLAIMER (from IWW.org Editor): As instructed by the author of this document (which was originally intended for the enviornmental and/or animal rights movement), we have reproduced it here.

Errol Scweitzer's views do not necessarily reflect those of the IWW or any of the individual members of the organization. We offer this statement as a friendly suggestion to hard working activists and organizers. INEVITABLE DISCLAIMER (from Errol Schweitzer): This (manual) is not meant to offend hard-working activists who are devoting much of their time and energy to social and environmental issues.

It is meant as a critique of those qualities that may keep us from building an actual Movement. . #1 - Have a Sense of Humor The world is not going to change overnight, no matter how hard you work. . #2 - Critique is Necessary and Vital Analyzing what went wrong and what went right about an action or a campaign may help you to not repeat the same mistakes twice.
