Occupy Wall Street, Day Eleven: "Many friends participated in our democratic process."

By Ann Kreilkamp | September 28, 2011
BTW: If you’re new to this occupation, realize that the police have denied them megaphones; so in their daily General Assemblies, every word a speaker says is repeated by everyone else. A brilliant alternative that magnifies the power of their revitalization of the democratic process by slowing everything down, ensuring participation, and moving everyone into resonance through sound. As if speeches become chants, automatically.

This is the eleventh communiqué from the 99 percent. We are occupying Wall Street. We will not be moved.

On September 27th, 2011, many friends participated in our democratic process.
