That's clean and polished language - should definitely be incorporated into existing language. --- On Fri, 3/9/12, occupyveniceSt...@googlegroups.com <occupyveniceSt...@googlegroups.com> wrote: From: occupyveniceSt...@googlegroups.com <occupyveniceSt...@googlegroups.com> Subject: [ovStrategicPlanning] Digest for occupyveniceSt...@googlegroups.com - 2 Messages in 2 Topics To: "Digest Recipients" <occupyveniceSt...@googlegroups.com> Date: Friday, March 9, 2012, 7:57 AM   Today's Topic Summary Group: http://groups.google.com/group/occupyveniceStrategicPlanning/topics mission statement language [1 Update] ::Need Help - Video Editing and Photography:: [1 Update]  mission statement language Lauren Steiner <laurens...@gmail.com> Mar 08 11:43PM -0800   This was at the end of an article on the Women Occupy events today. I thought it had some pretty strong and direct language for the mission statement. Or do we not want to open up this can of worms?   Occupy Wall Street is part of an international people powered movement fighting for economic justice in the face of neoliberal economic practices, the crimes of Wall Street, and a government controlled by monied interests. #OWS is the 99% organizing to end the tyranny of the 1%.    ::Need Help - Video Editing and Photography:: Carrick Bartle <carr...@gmail.com> Mar 08 09:38AM -0800   Hey Wes,   I know how to edit, but I don't have the equipment (i.e. computer with editing software). If you do, or know someone who does, I can do it. Then again, anyone with editing equipment would probably know how to edit anyway.

Was the picked to be a representative by their group, or simply the one the reporter decided to interview? Just another example of why you don't let the media pick your spokespeople...  While a strong speaker might have tied things together better, they also might have ridiculed any response on the cut-away back to the studio, or simply edited for the least coherent amongst the group.

Occupy Davis blows MSM opportunity [1 Update] [Occupy Worker Cooperatives] LA Worker Cooperative Working Group Meeting THIS SUNDAY March 18 at 2PM [1 Update]  Occupy Davis blows MSM opportunity Lauren Steiner <laurens...@gmail.com> Mar 16 08:23PM -0700   See folks, this is why we need messaging. With the first guy the reporter interviewed, the reporter had to prompt him to talk about what Monsanto was doing to farmers. Then the anchors back in the studio and the reporter were questioning the fact that Occupy seemed all over the place, protesting first Wall St., then student debt, then Monsanto. The second person had the perfect opportunity to say that all these issues were linked by one theme: corporate control of what should be human rights: homes, education and food. And the guy simply blew it. I'm sorry. But this is the flaw to a leaderful, horizontal movement. They missed an opportunity to make the connections and clarification for the rest of the 99% in Davis watching at home when the mainstream media gave them a perfect opportunity. Can't blame the MSM here.   http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?bctid=1513193791001    [Occupy Worker Cooperatives] LA Worker Cooperative Working Group Meeting THIS SUNDAY March 18 at 2PM Lauren Steiner <laurens...@gmail.com> Mar 16 05:19PM -0700   I met a guy at the B of A action yesterday who is one of the organizers.
