first amendment and occupy encampments
intentional community and the occupy movement:
one aspect of the occupy movement and its first amendment practices which is never addressed is why we gather and live in tents as a community...
this aspect of the movement is the intentional community, or camp/us, as i like to call it ... this is the social experimental and the educational basis of our occupy community, wherein a broad spectrum (or to use a cliche), a 'diverse' group of citizens gather across generational, socio-economic, religious, cultural, and political backgrounds in the camp, and learn to communicate, assimilate and operate together, collectively enacting the changes necessary to control their own embodiment of resources.
it is important to keep this aspect in mind... and to be very vociferous about it. how to be vociferous and not construed as subversive is the challenge. we are not so much raising an army, as civic leaders, each and every one.
