TRACK 1. VISION DOC GOALS/ACTIONS


Process:


1. We're starting with the Original Occupy Vision Doc. Read the background to understand how we built that document. For working purposes, assuming that it's a decent representation of what the people in the movement want. We're taking the listed items, and ADDING below each item, tactics and actions to achieve that item. As we mature as a movement, we will likely change this basic vision doc. But for now, please respect it as a starting point, and modify only the space/entries below each BOLD ITEM.
'''TRACK 1. VISION DOC GOALS/ACTIONS'''<big>


For each item in the list, add your ideas on what actions/tactics need to be accomplished for us to reach that goal in society. There's also been the suggestion to categorize the items into those that are "concrete goals" that can be acted upon, and those that are more ethereal values/principles.
Process:


2. After we get ideas, we will probably start thinking about timelines and who might "do" the work. Allying wiht groups already on that path, for example. We may also choose to categorise items that might work together, decide if they are things that are want to do as individuals, or as a group, and/or decide various other ways of organizing.

4.One suggestion for organizing may be to take some of the items that we can't legislate. So it's like a "cultural change" section? Things to keep in mind as we evolve section?

One of our key tasks is to bring people, organizations and issue movements together because with unity we will increase our power and impact; as well as create a mass movement that cannot be ignored.

TRACK 1. VISION DOC GOALS/ACTIONS

Process:

1. We're starting with the Original Occupy Vision Doc. Read the background to understand how we built that document. For working purposes, assuming that it's a decent representation of what the people in the movement want. We're taking the listed items, and ADDING below each item, tactics and actions to achieve that item. As we mature as a movement, we will likely change this basic vision doc. But for now, please respect it as a starting point, and modify only the space/entries below each BOLD ITEM.

For each item in the list, add your ideas on what actions/tactics need to be accomplished for us to reach that goal in society. There's also been the suggestion to categorize the items into those that are "concrete goals" that can be acted upon, and those that are more ethereal values/principles.

2. After we get ideas, we will probably start thinking about timelines and who might "do" the work. Allying wiht groups already on that path, for example. We may also choose to categorise items that might work together, decide if they are things that are want to do as individuals, or as a group, and/or decide various other ways of organizing.

3. We may also choose to add new items. Please do this carefully, though, because if we want it to be something that the movement supports, we can't just add new visions willy nilly.

4.One suggestion for organizing may be to take some of the items that we can't legislate. So it's like a "cultural change" section? Things to keep in mind as we evolve section?

5. For those who want some background on [the strategic planning process], in general.

FRAMEWORK:

1. Unifying vision. What broad vision can we unite movements on, e.g. Ending the rule of concentrated wealth, Tranform with the Great Turning, End corporate rule, Human needs nt corporate greed etc. See the Original Occupy Vision Doc.

2. Strategic framework. A strategy that can be applied to all the issues raised in the Occupy Vision document. Once we have a shared framework people can develop tactics that work within that framework.

One of our key tasks is to bring people, organizations and issue movements together because with unity we will increase our power and impact; as well as create a mass movement that cannot be ignored.
