world wide wave

Post by emordnilap »

Here’s a basic list of tactics…

> Mass gatherings, demonstrations;
> Marches, parades;
> Flash mobs, swarms;

> Shutdown harmful corporate and governmental operations;

> Worker Strikes;

> Hunger strikes;

> Sit-ins;

> Strategic defaults, debt strikes;

> Foreclosure prevention;

> Boycotting corrupt corporations;

> Move your money out of the big banks and the stock market;

> Use alternative currencies and economic systems;

> Cancel your cable television and support independent media;

> Use independent online tools that don’t sell your info / protect privacy;

> Online civil disobedience, Anonymous operations;

> Leak information on corruption;

> Use alternative energy;

> Build urban and hydroponic farms, or get your food from them;

> Support local businesses;

> Join local community organizations;

> Take part in food banks and help develop community support systems;
> Start or join intentional and autonomous communities;

> Experiment with new governing systems, Liquid Democracy;

> Host teach-ins;

> Organize socially conscious events;

> Make conscious media;
> Guerrilla postering, messages on money;

> Help inspiring groups and organizations spread their message;

> Random acts of kindness and compassion;

> Mass meditations, prayer sessions and spiritual actions.
Most of these sound pretty good. Some are normal everyday behaviour, in fact. Shame that people have to be told about them.
