Hey President Obama ... Dear patriots, rabble-rousers, revolutionaries, On Saturday thousands of us will occupy Wall Street. We will wave our signs, unfurl our banners, beat our drums, chant our slogans … and then we'll get down to business and hold several people's assemblies to decide what our "one demand" will be. Shall we demand that President Obama reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act; outlaw flash trading; impose a 1% tax on all financial transactions? These are good ideas but not very energizing. How about we demand the revocation of corporate personhood? Feels a bit too abstract. We could demand Obama set up an American Democracy Reform Commission tasked with ending the monied corruption in Washington? Most Americans know that Washington is awash with corporate money and undue influence and would like to see democracy vibrant again. What if, try as we might, we just can't come up with only one demand? On Saturday, our Tahrir moment begins … strength, courage, nonviolence! for the wild,Culture Jammers HQ

Telecomix Internet Safety Pack P2P Foundation Cell Phone Guide for Occupy Wall Street Protesters (and Everyone Else) Occupy Wall Street has called for a global day of action on October 15, and protesters are mobilizing all over the world. In the United States, the Occupy Wall Street movement has already spawned sizeable protests in New York, Washington DC, Boston, Seattle, San Francisco, Oakland, Austin, and other cities. Several of these movements have faced opposition from their local police departments, including mass arrests. Protesters of all political persuasions are increasingly documenting their protests -- and encounters with the police -- using electronic devices like cameras and cell phones. The following tips apply to protesters in the United States who are concerned about protecting their electronic devices when questioned, detained, or arrested by police. These are general guidelines; individuals with specific concerns should talk to an attorney. 1. Think carefully about what’s on your phone before bringing it to a protest. Password-protect your phone - and consider encryption options.

The Anthropology of Hackers - Gabriella Coleman - Technology Editor's Note: Pasty kids with greasy hair typing on command lines. Dark villains of the networked world. Security magicians with odd political beliefs. We have a lot of ideas about who hackers are, but very few people have actually tried to seriously investigate the anthropology of one of the more fascinating social groups to emerge at the end of the 20th century. NYU's Gabriella Coleman studies their culture, an odd brew of faith in freedom of information and traditional liberalism, along with a generous salt-and-peppering of nerdiness and counterculturalism. A "hacker" is a technologist with a love for computing and a "hack" is a clever technical solution arrived through a non-obvious means. Since 2007, I have taught an undergraduate class on computer hackers at New York University where I am Assistant Professor in the Department of Media, Culture and Communication. Week One: Introductions and the MIT Hackers Week Two: The Craft and Liberalism of Hacking Week Three: Phreaking A lot.
