Interesting thoughts, for the most part.
I look forward to seeing y’all at the GA, Tuesday.

that should be how this organization *spends* money – not makes.

I am no longer in Accounting and haven’t been for a few weeks. One of the reasons I left accounting was so that I could finally address issues about how this organization makes money. I forgot to mention that, […]

I would hope that this proposal encourages activists and working groups to be more creative and self-reliant in their consumption of resources. Ideally, that would come from crowdfunding efforts or basic pass the […]

Lopi, all really good points. Let me address a few of the more pressing ones first:
I am NOT advocating for the Direct Action Working Group to control all the money. I am advocating all the money we have left […]

Dallas, GREAT QUESTION. I’ve thought about that a lot and want to leave it up to Friendly Amendments to decide. My thought is that this proposal would only apply to the money that we have in the bank RIGHT NOW and […]

Ouch. I’m usually at most OWS actions. I have a bum knee for the rest of my life from a beating by the NYPD to prove it. Not sure if we’ve ever met, but my name is Haywood.

I don’t believe that the Direct Action working group is the only place where direct action is done.
For example, the pop-up occupations over the last month are ABSOLUTELY actions – direct or otherwise. The […]

Hi Dallas. I would imagine that if the action requires funding, it would need to be approved by the GA on a per action basis. The GA would, I hope, use its discretion in determining what constitutes an action: […]

Dallas is correct on all levels there. Also, AfGJ rocks and is a lifesaver for OWS. AfGJ takes 7% as a fiscal sponsor fee (less than most fiscal sponsors) and in return (to my knowledge):

Finance (Accounting) 3 months, 1 week agoAbsolutely not, Dallas. Nor do a lot of the folks on the front lines of our direct actions. There’s a reason many OWSers use pseudonyms and we promised them that we would not publish or divulge their names, only […]
