- It's necessary to keep focused on the goal you wish to achieve and not get bogged down in the weeds of who's right/wrong - Just realize some people will refuse to take you seriously and being pissed at closed-mindedness only hurts the cause. So when speaking to others try to keep the mindset of a fisherman; don't bait the hook with a jelly doughnut when the fish really responds to a worm. - - The only way to know WHAT to emphasize is by asking how the person feels about the issues you wish to change. From there you can tailor your message. Think like the fish. - - Examples: - Other person: "I'm a Republican and I don't like you hippies." - You : "Might I ask what you find offensive about us?" (not, "we don't like you either, douchebag!" or, "we aren't hippies!") - - - (someone want to run with this? It's just an old marketing technique) - - Be the surfer: we all have a wealth of thoughts and feelings arising constantly, like the sea. You will be encountering situations where passions run high on both sides but don't get sucked under! Use your breath as the board! Practice taking a breath (or two, three...) before each response, to allow you to really hear what the other party says (and for them to feel heard and hear themselves too!) feel the upsurge of reactions in yourself, jump your attention onto the breath and flow through, feeling the breath lift you out of the swell, when steady on the 'breath board' you can respond (or sometimes more valid is non-response!) and flow. Whenever you notice tension bring your attention to your breath, often just one breath in....and out.....can transform a situation..and don't worry....it takes practice..... x - - NETWORKING - - Don't overlook faith communities as an important ally.

	+ ----- + ----- + + It's necessary to keep focused on the goal you wish to achieve and not get bogged down in the weeds of who's right/wrong - Just realize some people will refuse to take you seriously and being pissed at closed-mindedness only hurts the cause. So when speaking to others try to keep the mindset of a fisherman; don't bait the hook with a jelly doughnut when the fish really responds to a worm. + + The only way to know WHAT to emphasize is by asking how the person feels about the issues you wish to change. From there you can tailor your message. Think like the fish. + + ''Examples:'' + Other person: "I'm a Republican and I don't like you hippies." + You : "Might I ask what you find offensive about us?" (not, "we don't like you either, douchebag!" or, "we aren't hippies!") + [someone want to run with this?

You will be encountering situations where passions run high on both sides but don't get sucked under! Use your breath as the board! Practice taking a breath (or two, three...) before each response, to allow you to really hear what the other party says (and for them to feel heard and hear themselves too!) feel the upsurge of reactions in yourself, jump your attention onto the breath and flow through, feeling the breath lift you out of the swell, when steady on the 'breath board' you can respond (or sometimes more valid is non-response!) and flow.

The traditional mainline churches often have values aligned with those of the Occupy Together movement. Some traditions are easier to organize than others. The two traditions that are highly connectional are Roman Catholic and United Methodist. If you make contact with a progressive congregation in one of these systems, you have connected with a whole network. To find a UM church go to http://archives.umc.org/Directory/ChurchDirectory.asp?ptid=1&mid=222. If that doesn't work go to www.umc.org and click on Find a Church in the upper blue banner. For RC parishes go to http://www.parishesonline.com/scripts/default.asp. United Church of Christ congregations tend to share the movement's views but as the system is less connected, it will be important to check with your local congregation. Many congregations in other traditions are also supportive, it just requires more research. The quickest way to screen churches is to look for web pages or facebook pages for local congregations. If your area has an Interfaith Council those faith communities are highly likely to be supportive.

The aggressive nature of the NYPD are different from what you find in Portland Oregon. If some of these points are a bit odd, from your perspective, please understand they are based on NYPD behavioral observations.

Kanawha Plaza is certainly holding firm, and although we are only just over 1.5 weeks young, we've got tons of program every day through workshops, seminars, and various demonstrations. + + This Saturday, we would love to host the local occupations in a Solidarity Rally. Within 3 blocks we've got one of the 12 Federal Reserves, huge regional centers for Bank of America, Suntrust, Dominion Power, Williams Mullen, Wells Fargo, and assorted other egregiously corrupt entities. Likewise, Richmond is home to Eric Cantor (the filthiest of scum) and Bob McDonnell (only slightly less pathogenic). Oh--we've also got lots of room for tents. + + Friday night will have multiple workshops and music performances, Saturday morning we will rally, and the afternoon will present many more opportunities to interact and learn. + + We want y'all here with us! + + Feel free to give me a call if you have any questions, want some input on activities, or plan to join us In Solidarity against tangible societal atrocities. + + Strength and Solidarity, + Josh Kadrich
