Crafting Our Activism

Emory Mort — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:03:39 -0800

With the mainstream excesses of Valentine’s Day 2012 approaching, Craftivists are cleverly fusing their love for hand-crafting goods with their compassion for those suffering in the world. Sarah Corbett’s London-based Craftivist Collective is a hub of international creativity, inspiring the transformation of a purely practical or leisurely activity into a seriously playful form of activist creation.

Censoring the Revolution

stefaniesara — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 16:48:31 -0800

Six people at Global Revolution TV were arrested last week as the team was evicted from their headquarters in Brooklyn. The Global Revolution team has covered Occupy Wall Street through live streaming since Day 1. Global Revolution is directly responsible for bringing local as well as national and international attention, and participation, to the Occupy movement. At its outset, they operated under a tarp in the centerof Zuccotti Park, but as gears shifted through the fall and winter, Global Revolution’s base has been forced to relocate several times.

Love's Evolution is My Resolution

Velcrow Ripper — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 10:02:33 -0800

Love's evolution is my resolution, my revolution, my solution. The time is now. 2012 is upon us. The beginning is here!

I'd like to offer you an invitation, an invocation, a wake up call. Wake up! (Zen hand clap) It's time to come to our senses, and wake up! Listen -- can you hear the alarm bells ringing? Can you hear the cries of Mother Earth? Can you hear the cries of Her children? Can you smell the stench of an industrial growth addicted civilization rotting from the inside out?

Thanks From #OWS

Kelly Fragale — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 08:17:53 -0800

As 2011 comes to a close, Occupy takes a moment to reflect and thank all of their supporters with the official "Occupy Wall Street Thank You Video":

Join Starhawk in NYC for a timely workshop about group empowerment. From Cairo to Wall Street, people all over the world are coming together to create change, organizing without top-down leadership or hierarchies. In thousands of voluntary groups everywhere, people work together to create everything from community gardens to media to new ways of living.

Occupy This Week

Kelly Fragale — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 19:06:55 -0800

Week #9 of OWS saw a nationwide sweep of occupations going through varying degrees of evictions. In NYC, Zuccotti Park was aggressively evicted at 1AM in the morning on November 15th. Without warning, NYPD destroyed a library, kitchen, alternative energy system, a religious alter and a very well stocked and maintained medical station. They allowed no press in, and in fact, journalists were arrested while trying to cover the story. Reports of pepper spray and violent tactics on part of the police were running rampant.
