The initial action of NOW DC ( http://NOWDC.org ) 100 or so people marched from Franklin Square to the Environmental Protection Agency to tell them to do their job for a change.

This is an in intimate discussion with Lisa Fithian & Jason Ahmadi conducted Oct 31st 2011 over coffee, early in the morning. None of us had had much sleep in the previous 6 weeks. Get Lisa's incite on the history of violent and non violent protest. Also, a detailed analysis of the potential pitfalls of the Occupy Wall Street movement and how they can be avoided.

This video from the 2004 G8 Summit in Brunswick Georgia is an excellent case study of successful negotiation with the police. A small Black Bloc marches off on a breakaway march to an intersection that would block the only way on to Sea Island, where the Summit was being held. Watch Lisa Fithian navigate this potentially disastrous maneuver. http://organizingforpower.org

Judge rules to tie the national park service Police's hands in regard to enforcing arbitrary rules that prevent vigilers from sleeping. Mo'Fo' ~ http://occupydc.org

The Occupy DC camps were both given notice to comply with anti Camping laws by noon Monday 1-30-12 or face enforcement of those laws. The Occupy Freedom Plaza camp openly agreed to comply while the McPherson Square camp consolidated their tents under an enormous tarp stretched over the Square's statue of McPherson and awaited the Park Police's response. The Police did a couple of walk through during the day but made no attempt at enforcing any laws because several hundred additional supporters and media peoople descended on the camp. This morning the police came through and offered to negotiate if the "new" tarp was taken down voluntarily. The McPherson camp will hold an emergency G.A. today to decide their next move. The Tent Monster and Reverend Graylan Hagler of the Occupy Faith Ministries came out to support the camp also. Mo'Fo' ~ http://occupydc.org ~ http://occupyfaith.com
