Occupy Lafayette Park Oct 31st

Calling all Witches, Crones, and Sirens! And our allies!!! Help create a new occupation at Lafayette Park beginning October 31^st! An occupation that:

• recognizes the Military & Prison Industrial Complexes as the driving forces of our economy and race/class/sex system
  
•  targets war & prison corporate profiteers   
  
  
• seeks to create a totally different pie where no individual human being has less than any other human being

Further, we want to build the foundation for our occupation on the recognition and responsibility for the isms that we bring from the outer society including but not limited to racism, sexism, homophobia, classism. 

We especially recognize we activists who have come to D.C. might be part of the 99% in the U.S. as a whole, but here in D.C. at this park, we are the 1% compared with the 99% poor and homeless people who occupied this place before we arrived.

We will attempt to role model for the larger society how the 1% shares with and reaches equity with the 99%.

We have a zero tolerance for overt racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, or any form of violence; and a 100% commitment to rectifying and making amends/reparations for covert isms and improving our non-violent behavioral and communication skills.

We struggle to recognize and grow beyond internalized isms. We who are the victims of isms also strive to protect ourselves and maintain our commitment to building community and activism in spite of facing these issues amongst us.

We are committed to being aware, raising consciousness, and making all the connections: from the tiniest part we play in caring for and protecting the Mother Earth and all life – so we are conscious of the choices we make around consumption of food, things, products – to the greatest part of undermining slave labor and genocide by determining how & where we spend our money and resources.

If this sounds good to you, please come join us at Lafayette Park, Washington D.C. from 6:00am on Monday, October 31^st until we have succeeded in convincing enough U.S. people to come to D.C. and end the wars & prisons industrial complexes.
