[lbo-talk] OWS organizing / process

[shag carpet bomb]

Lisa Fithian, a long-time activist, articulates the principles of
organizing she and colleagues have been workshopping at OWS. She also
talks about how consensus decision-making works when done right.
Francesca Polleta covers this in her book, Freedom is an Endless
Meeting.

BTW, Carrol, when I said that the demand of the commune is "join us,"
that is meant literally, where joining doesn't involve sitting at home
empathisizing and speaking as 'we,'. Rather, joining requires active
participation. Do you think we can delineate different kinds of
joining? Will it always require active participation? If not, what
would be the role of people who've 'joined' but aren't involved? Is
that possible?
