Dispatch from #OccupySydney
(This comes courtesy of http://www.jura.org.au/) Occupy Sydney began on 15 October, with hundreds of people reclaiming Martin Place. Flanked by the imposing  towers of the financial and political elites, where a handful of people make decisions which affect the whole society, a new democratic space was established.  Occupy Sydney created a non-hierarchical forum for open debate, where people...

Translocal solidarity in the #Occupy movement
I must admit that I’m not really a fan of national #Occupy sites or Facebook pages like #OccupyUSA, #OccupyAustralia, #OccupyIndonesia, and so on.
