Statement of Autonomy
GT Tommy Sat Jan 21, 2012 9:43 pm
The following Statement of Autonomy was created by Occupy Wall St. NYC, and adopted as is by several Occupy locations. I received it from Occupy Santa Cruz, and propose Occupy Boulder adopt it as well, as is, by consensus of the next Saturday GA.
Statement of Autonomy
Occupy Boulder is a people’s movement. It is party-less, leaderless, by the people and for the people. It is not a business, a political party, an advertising campaign or a brand. It is not for sale.
We welcome all, who, in good faith, petition for a redress of grievances through non-violence. We provide a forum for peaceful assembly of individuals to engage in participatory as opposed to partisan debate and democracy. We welcome dissent.
Any statement or declaration not released through the General Assembly and made public online at our website should be considered independent of Occupy Boulder.
We wish to clarify that Occupy Boulder is not and never has been affiliated with any established political party, candidate or organization. Our only affiliation is with the people.
The people who are working together to create this movement are its sole and mutual caretakers. If you have chosen to devote resources to building this movement, especially your time and labor, then it is yours.
Any organization is welcome to support us with the knowledge that doing so will mean questioning your own institutional frameworks of work and hierarchy and integrating our principles into your modes of action.
SPEAK WITH US, NOT FOR US.
Occupy Boulder values collective resources, dignity, integrity and autonomy above money. We have not made endorsements. All donations are accepted anonymously and are transparently allocated via consensus by the General Assembly.
We acknowledge the existence of professional activists who work to make our world a better place. If you are representing or being compensated by an independent source while participating in our process, please disclose your affiliation at the outset. Those seeking to capitalize on this movement or undermine it by appropriating its message or symbols are not part of Occupy Boulder.
We stand in solidarity. We are Occupy Boulder.
