It is very much an experiment, adapting a variety of streetmedic and non-streetmedic material for use in the new wave of protest and rebellion sweeping the United States. Some of this material was originally intended to be used in Oaxaca, Tunisia, or Egypt, and needs further adaptation to the easily available foods, herbs, and medical realities of the urban United States. Future drafts will source all material that wasn’t written by the author, but this draft is being compiled and edited in a hurry, so that got left out.

  • Occupy Online 10 24 2011
    Occupy Online: Facebook and the Spread of Occupy Wall Street Neal Caren [email protected] Sarah Gaby [email protected] University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill October 24, 2011 Electronic copy available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1943168 Occupy Online: Facebook and the Spread of Occupy Wall Street Summary Since Occupy Wall Street began in New York City on September 17th, the movement has spread offline to hundreds of locations around the globe. Social networking sites have been critical for linking potential supporters and distributing information. In addition to Facebook pages on the Wall Street Occupation, more than 400 unique pages have been established in order to spread the movement across the US, including at least one page in each of the 50 states. These Facebook pages facilitate the creation of local encampments and the organization of protests and marches to oppose the existing economic and political system. Based on data acquired from Facebook, we find that Occupy groups have recruited over 170,000 active Facebook users and more than 1.4 million “likes” in support of Occupations. By October 22, Facebook pages related to the Wall Street Occupation had accumulated more than 390,000 “likes”, while almost twice that number, more than 770,000, have been expressed for the 324 local sites. Most new Occupation pages were started between September 23th and October 5th. On October 11th, occupy activity on Facebook peaked with 73,812 posts and comments to an occupy page in a day. By October 22nd, there had been 1,170,626 total posts or comments associated with Occupation pages.

Building socialism from below Luxemburg, Sears, and the case of Occupy Wall Street By Holly Campbell © Major Research Paper Completed in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master's in Social Justice and Community Engagement at Wilfrid Laurier University Brantford, Ontario August 19th 2014 Advisor: Dr. James Cairns Second Reader: Dr. Todd Gordon Abstract For as long as capitalism has existed, people have struggled against it. However, despite the fact that anti-capitalist social movements have won important battles and at times created change, the global capitalist system remains largely intact, ever growing and expanding. How might waves of resistance help pave the way for a different economic and political system— one based upon the principles of accountability, equity, justice, and production for human need? This paper examines how anti-capitalist theories and writings, as well as a radically democratic social movement, can inform visions of a sustainable future that is productive, just, and built upon the needs and well-being of people: a future of socialism-from-below.

SB-2015-06 I. MOTION FOR INTERVENTION OF OCCUPY PROVIDENCE On November 17, 2015, the Energy Facility Siting Board (EFSB) opened Docket SB 2015-06, regarding the proposal of Invenergy to site a 900 MW gas-fired power plant in Burrillville, Rhode Island. The proposed power plant, fired by fossil fuels, would directly emit carbon-dioxide into the atmosphere. If one takes into account the full life cycle of the fossil fuels, one finds that the total carbon-dioxide equivalent of the emissions would produce greenhouse gases with a ruinous impact on Rhode Island and the global climate. This motion adheres to form and content of EFSB Rule 1.10(c), and participation of aforementioned person, as defined in EFSB Rule 1.2.(r) in this proceeding, will be in the public interest within the meaning of EFSB Rule 1.l0(b)(3). II. COMMUNICATION AND CORRESPONDENCE Service in this proceeding should be made upon, and communications should be directed to the following person: Patricia J.

INTERVENOR Occupy Providence stands in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street and other Occupy movements throughout the world as a vehicle for socioeconomic change.

Printed materials Admin info Download xml version print version (pdf) Read collection overview An award-winning photojournalist, Kathy Borchers began a thirty year career with the Providence Journal in the mid-1980s. A native of Dayton, Ohio, she and her twin sister Karen T. Borchers (also a photojournalist) took up photography in high school and refined their technique as undergraduates at Bowling Green State University. After receiving her master's degree at the Indiana University School of Journalism in 1981, Borchers worked for three years with the Topeka Capital-Journal before landing in Providence. In addition to covering general news and sports, she took on a number of special assignments and longer-form photoessays over the years in southern New England. She retired in 2015. A rich sampling from a long career in photojournalism, the collection includes photographic negatives and prints along with associated published materials. Centered primarily on her time with the Providence Journal, the collection reflects the breadth of Borchers' assignments, including general news, sports coverage, and longer-form photoessays, in both black and white and color The collection also includes five self-made books: three on long-term photographic projects for the Journal and two career retrospectives.
