This suggestion is from OccupyMN and was adopted by their GA as a core agreement, part of their operating framework - Kunti
Because lack
of agreement privileges certain groups over others who are more at risk
than the privileged, for actions involving risk of arrest, and because lack
of agreements and lack of accountability makes us vulnerable to provocateurs
and agents, therefore, the
plan of action will be clear, open and transparent so people know what
they are agreeing to by becoming part of this action.
Those
planning and participating in non-violent direct actions make agreements
about what types of actions will be taken, choose tactics that
are acceptable to all who will be involved in the action, and hold each
other accountable for keeping them.
