Hi All you awesome Occupyers from the past,

I have been struggling and continue to see the world degrade around me, and I will spare you from the laundry list of crises and problems currently going on.  Yet I have not stopped working hard to make the world a better place, although I've mainly been working alone since occupy.  So, I am excited to announce that I am moving forward with the "Pre-Launch" of the Unity Network so more people can get involved from all around the world.

I've been working on this for almost 3 years (since before occupy subsided), and it is directly built off of a decade of previous work that I have done, including my experience with Occupy!  Eventually once the Unity Network can raise at least $5,000 we will Fully Launch, but for now I can't wait any longer and am moving forward with a "Pre-Launch" so that whoever wants to get involved can.  I know some of you are all about no money, but I have created this network for societal transformation, and if we are to transform our existing society, we must be able to function within the existing society to transform it, and our current society works on money, so we need at least some money to function effectively within it (albeit not very much).  And we also shouldn't forget that Occupy fundraised millions and millions of dollars, not sure how it was all spent, but it was definitely fundraised.

So for the Pre-Launch of the Unity Network I need local people to work with me in-person, either as a volunteer or paid help.  This would be anyone you know who may be interested in Stanford, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Redwood City, but they have to be willing to meet up in-person, not just by phone.  Some days we may go to SF or Oakland as well, but not on a regular basis.

I am also looking for specific people who want to get involved as Advisors.  I know that there are many amazing individuals who were involved in occupy that could be excellent advisors, even if you don't have much time.  Please let me know if your interested in possibly becoming an advisor.

Here are the Unity Network Update Streams you should connect to for getting regular updates:


What is the Unity Network?  Why is it important?  What is different about it than other networks doing similar activities, or Occupy? Why do I think this will finely be the Network that I can get funded? I don't want to go into a lot of details here, if you want details or want to get involved link to Unity Network Updates Stream above.

But in one (large) paragraph the Unity Network has 6 main components. The entire network is focused into a single annual event called "Unity Day". Unity Day is when we all take to the streets (family friendly) and blast out to the world that it is time to unite between all the people, and all the social movement to work together. To remind the governments and organizations of the world, that the people are the ones really in charge.  The "Unity Elections" or "Community Elections" sync with Unity Day where the primary annual election, where we decide our focus for the year, will also be held on Unity Day. Anyone can input any idea and vote for any project within the Elections.  The "Unity Flag" is the symbolic image we use to visualize unity between the people and movements of the world. A month or two before Unity Day, we will finalize the interactive vote for the Unity Flag, and print and distribute Unity Flags across the world. Anyone can input any symbol to be within the Unity Flag, but only the top votes will become the official version. It is very important to have a symbol and image of unity to rally behind.  From there we will prioritize the top demands and recommendations we want our leaders to act on, in the form of the "Unity Post Card" or "Unity Card".  This will be a physical post card that can be mailed, as well as an online version that can be emailed to decision makers. Anyone can suggest any item recommendation for the Unity Card, but only the top 10-20 will be printed.  Although we will collect signatures all year, the primary day that we will FLOOD inboxes and mailboxes of society's decision makers will be on Unity Day.  Lastly, although there will be a dozen different activities on Unity Day, the primary decision making activity will be the "People's Parallel Conventions".  These Conventions will be the foundation of an entirely new Parallel Governance System including the People's Parallel Congress which will have NO lobbyists, or Big Money/Corporate special interests, and will ONLY represent People.  The entire People's Parallel Congress will run against the existing corporate congress and eventually, weather it takes years or decades, we will re-balance our government to function for and by the People. We will combat BIG MONEY with NO MONEY! Do you want to volunteer to be a People's Representative, we are going to need a lot of them?  All of this, and MUCH MORE is written up into an interactive book called The Comprehensive Plan, which includes the methodology, ideas, and a action thriller novel that shows the Plan in action though fictional storytelling.

The primary themes as you can see are Interactivity, UNITY, Social Transformation, Comprehensive, Multifaceted, and People Power, but the foundation of the methodology is based on balance, sustainability, equilibrium, understanding, and compromise.  We can't expect or even want people to authoritatively rule and oppress corporations and organizations, what we want is balance and synchronization so our society can evolve and humanity can prosper for 100's of generations into the future.

You might feel that is a bit complicated, but it is really a single vision and a single plan, it just has multiple components that all relay on one an other to be successful.  If you think a simple one dimensional vision is what is going to solve our worlds problems, then that is fine, but I think our world is WAY too complicated for one dimensional solutions, and I feel that even if this comprehensive plan isn't main stream, it is still a viable option and should be seriously considered.

We could wait and see if the same solutions that others have tried again and again work this time.  Or we could wait for something else to come around, including the next round of chaos and confusion when millions take to streets.  Or we could decide to ACT now and give the vision of the Unity Network at least a chance to help the world in an organized, systemic, tangible and collaborative way that can help everyone. I think that people may finely be ready to listen to this vision, but if not, then I will just get back to work and fund them myself. Either way, my hope is to help this disastrous situation we have all found ourselves in and make the world a better place.

Conference Calls will be starting this weekend, and be on-going, so if you want to get involved, you would be happily received.  It doesn't matter where you are, you can be involved as long as you have a phone or internet connection.  

Just make sure you connect into Unity Network Updates:


If you just have time to vote once, vote in the Community Elections and tell us what you want us to focus on overall:

If you don't have time to get involved, but do want to make a donation here's a link:

Also note that the Unity Network is now in "Pre Launch", so there is still a lot of the systems and structure that is not functional yet, but hopefully we will fundraise enough money to Launch soon.

Thanks for your support, and I hope to be collaborating with you again soon,

Jay
