This is an invitation to caucuses, working groups, affinity groups, and any other member of the OWS community to be a part of a planning brunch for a larger community-wide discussion on core issues we are all grappling with. These issues include but are not limited to:
- Accountability
- Transparency
- Structural and interpersonal dynamics of privilege
- Hierarchies within OWS
We believe our community can grow stronger if we know one another, what resources we each have access to, and how our “groups” are organized. We believe we can be stronger when we have examined issues of power, leadership, and structures together.
We hope that any member of the OWS community interested in these matters brings their voice to this planning meeting, so we encourage you to send this to anyone who might want to participate.
Sunday we will explore these issues while crafting ideas for an agenda and process for a larger community gathering.
We are aware that many of these conversations are happening already. We ourselves have had this conversation with many people within the OWS movement. This is simply an attempt to have that conversation as a larger community. Let’s come together in the spirit of solidarity, openness and transparency.
Bagels and orange juice will be provided, feel free to contribute something festive!
Love and Solidarity,
Jason Ahmadi
