Liberty Plaza Vision

Hello world! - For the last three weeks, we of Liberty Plaza not only survived police brutality and the cold. We prevailed over media pressure and internal pressure to write demands. Through an ongoing facilitated discussion, to be posted online, we now realize that we have more to offer than demands. We are a part of a movement, unifying across the globe. This document outlines our vision, goals, and strategy to maximize our positive impact in the global movement’s inevitable success. Demands cannot reflect inevitable success. Demands imply condition, and we will never stop. Demands cannot reflect the time scale we are working with.

We present the following living vision of our movement. It is one document among many that work together in focusing our occupation for the public and ourselves. The vision has ten focii with practical goals for New York City. Our goals are aimed to effectively dissolve the shadow government of corporations and banks, literally surrounding Liberty Plaza, that are destroying the American dream, and our planet Earth. We will not fight the shadow government. We will invent new ways of living - that will overcome our constructed dependence upon the shadow government. We will invent the new economy, culture, and technology fitting of the Information Age. We will make New York City a metropolis built for the future.

A few things must be said. Corporations do not make jobs - people make jobs. Money does not support livelihood - our Earth supports livelihood.
