People Power

At this forum (August 6, 2012) David Solnit introduced us to a method of strategy development that has worked in previous social justice campaigns and we subsequently attempted to apply it to various areas or institutions where control by the 1% has resulted in them being dysfunctional or broken. We split into groups to work on determining the pillars that support these areas (education, health care, housing, environment, media, etc.) and how the pillars could be targeted to bring them down and rebuild. While no specific campaigns were generated, new ideas were formed and connections made which can only help make us stronger for the work ahead.
