We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

New Occupy Crackdown Documents Just Obtained by the PCJF

Click here to access article from Partnership for Civil Justice Fund [PCJF]

Documents are slowly being received from the government that confirms what many activists suspected--there was a coordinated effort to influence local police departments all over the US in the management and oppression of Occupying activists.
"What these documents are beginning to reveal is also the coordination between law enforcement agencies and private corporate entities representing the 1% that wanted to see the Occupy movement removed from public view and shut out of America's parks."
