We want to take our government out of the hands of corporations, believing that America works best when our government is of, by, and for the people. We are inspired by the Occupy movement but don't function the same way. We are organized more traditionally and don't require absolute consensus to take action on issues. We seek to create a safe space for everybody in the community (particularly first-timers) to "take to the streets" (congressional offices, city council meetings, public meeting halls, talks over-the-fence, and certainly in the streets themselves) in support of social justice and peace actions. We believe democracy works only when you participate.
