Channel: Anzevuil
Date: 2012-01-18

A good discussion moderated by the Sisters Haykel (Laura and Sara) for the Occupy Buffalo Justice Dialogue Series, held at the geodesic dome in Niagara Square, Buffalo, NY on January 14, 2012.

Description according to the Facebook Event Invite Page ( https://www.facebook.com/events/315109171853506/ ):

"The topic of discussion for this dialogue is: 'Self Responsibility for Collective Responsibility'

"What inspired me to open up a dialogue around this topic was a response from a friend of a friend to an article I had posted on my fb page a few weeks ago about personal re...sponsibility. The individual who responded felt that we need to focus more on collective responsibility as opposed to self responsibility. And my question is this.... 'Can someone who is unable to take 100% self responsibility effectively take on responsibility for the collective? Or must a person be wiling to take self responsibility before they can take responsibility for the collective?' "

"Please invite your friends and come out to dialogue with myself and other curious folks as we explore this fascinating and timely topic!!"

Statement From Occupy Buffalo

"January 2011 - Justice Dialogue"

"We, the Occupy Buffalo Movement have come together to resist the injustice of the corporate domination of our political institutions.  Toward the end of changing these institutions so they are more responsive to our needs, we invite citizens of various levels of education (from eminent professors to earnest students) to contribute to and benefit from an on-going public discourse on the broad subject of justice.  We believe that the democratic process that the Occupy Movement has adopted carries great moral authority in its openness to all voices, its orientation towards peaceful relations, and its commitment to a pragmatic consensus.  However, our democratic process stands in need of knowledge and a vision of our common well-being.  This justice dialogue is dedicated to sharing our collective knowledge and developing a shared vision of a better future for all of us."
