I am truly indebted to you for your unending generosity, ingenuity and determination; for taking the risks (for many of us, yet again) and continuing to fight and create. It is your voices and experiences that are central to me in these pages and I hope that you will find here something that touches a part of you, not in a nostalgic way, but as an impulse to act. First and foremost, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to my supervisor, Dr Laurence Cox, whose unfaltering encouragement, assistance, advice and expert knowledge were invaluable for the successful completion of this research. He was always an enormously responsive and generous mentor and his critique helped sharpen this thesis in many ways. Thank you for being supportive also in so many other areas and for ushering me in to the complex world of activist research. I am also grateful to Eddie Yuen who helped me find my way around Oakland and introduced me to many Occupy participants – your help was priceless and I really enjoyed meeting you. I wanted to thank Prof. Szymon Wróbel for debates about philosophy and conversations about life as well as for his continuing support.

It is they who design and give meaning to that society’s very structures and institutions; they have voice. This is the ideal of democracy.

  • May Day General Strike
    April 27, 2012 May Day General Strike Prepared by the MSA Research & Intelligence Analysis Team Information current as of 9:00 AM Overview History May 1st has long been a significant date for protests and is recognized as a holiday in most industrialized countries, excluding the United States. Back in 1884, the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions of the United States and Canada accepted a resolution which stated that starting on May 1st, 1886, eight hours would constitute a legal day of labor, down from the typical 10 to 16 hours of daily work. Three main labor organizations began preparing for a general strike to be held on that date in support of the eight-hour workday. Once May 1st, 1886 approached, rallies were held throughout the United States; the largest were held in Chicago (90,000 participants), Detroit (11,000) and New York (10,000). Across the country, people left work all day to strike during normal working hours. Occupy & the General Strike While the holiday, referred to as International Workers’ Day, is not officially recognized within the US, rallies are historically common practice on May Day (May 1st). Occupy Los Angeles, Occupy Chicago and Occupy Oakland were some of the first Occupy groups to call for a General Strike on May 1st in solidarity with existing May Day events to defend the rights of workers, immigrants, students, women and other communities. Workers, students and supporters are asked to leave work or school for the day in protest of the struggles faced by varying communities. Those who simply cannot miss a day of school or work have been encouraged to join after school or work hours are over as actions will be occurring all day in multiple locations.

  • Economic Policies Resisting Global
    Resisting Global Economic Policies Introduction As noted in chapter one of this book, at the heart of global inequities are neoliberal economic policies that continue to foster the increasing inequal- ities between the haves and have-nots by pushing forth policies of trade liberalization, privatization of resources, minimization of subsidies, and the minimization of state-based support for the poor across nation states. With globalization, the gaps between the rich and the poor have increased dramatically on a global scale, with the increasing concentration of eco- nomic resources in the hands of the rich (Dutta, 2008, 2011; Harvey, 2005). Simultaneously, the interpenetrating relationships between economically strong actors and political players have led to the further consolidation of power in the hands of the economically powerful. Communicative spheres have been increasingly concentrated in the hands of the dominant social, political, and economic actors, with limited opportunities for public participation Chapter and with increasingly intertwined relationships be- Two tween privatized media public spheres, businesses, economic entities, and political actors. Mediated 43 44 Resisting Global Economic Policies spheres are owned by the same actors that own the economic spheres of production and exchange (McChesney, 1997, 1999). These limited com- municative spheres then have carried out the structural violence on the margins through the deployment of communicative resources and pro- cesses to serve the interests of the rich, and simultaneously erasing the opportunities for public participation (Dutta, 2008, 2011). Chapter two attends to the politics of resistance constituted globally in opposition to the inequitable economic policies, particularly paying attention to the concentration of power in the hands of the financial sec- tor and the deep-seated interlink between the sites of global capital and the political realms of economic decision making.

  • 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.
