Occupy Portland - Bitcoin

<<< Return to Occupy Portland <<< 
Bitcoin is your money, immune to abuse by governments and banks.
== What is bitcoin? ==
Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer digital money system. In face, it is an entirely new currency unit, floating freely against dollars, euros, and yen.
== Why should I care? ==
There is no central authority issuing or controlling bitcoin. It is not attached to any governmnet, bank, or organization, and thus it permits an advancement of human freedom and trade never before possible.
== How does that work? ==
Bitcoin is a breakthrough in cryptographic technology, permitting the "coins" to be transferred from person to person via a peer-to-peer network. There will never be more then 21 million coins. If you understand the implications of this, head down the rabbit hole...

<<< Return to Occupy Portland
== Why we must create our own media ==
An on-site communications hub is essential. The major media cannot and will not represent our movement's interests. As more of us gain a clearer understanding of how the major, corporate-owned media plays a crucial role in keeping ordinary people distracted, confused, pacified and consumption-minded, the media's ability to maintain that role gets shakier. The major, corporate-owned media must go; corporate media is the problem.Media in the United States Our funk forefathers once uttered these immortal words: "Free your mind ... and your ass will follow." It's time that we heeded their advice.

Occupy Portland - Food Handlers

< Occupy Portland
SCHEDULE yourself
==This section is a tentative draft==
Food Server- This person is on the front lines serving prepared food. Food safety and interacting with hungry folks is the name of the game! Knowing what dishes are Vegetarian/vegan/GF and Not are important as well as keeping an eye on how long long stuff has been out and keeping or asking for ice pans (when available). Having a food handlers card is required (a good skill and easily available online). 
Donation Line- This person is the food tent trivia master answering all kinds of questions (many not related to the food team so it is good place to learn about the camp on the job and make quick friends with those who do!) and does their best! Their main function is to accept incoming donations and keeping an eye out for open packages asking those to be handed out immediately to the crowd by whomever brought the item (as to avoid questions later and food waste). They also keep the front as neat as they can (drinks) and are talking with folks non-stop and serve as the frontline for volunteer opps. (this does not require a food handlers card). 
The Floating Folks- these people are masters of all- they spend a lot of time organizing-running donations that are not ours (medics get the vitamins etc...) relieving the food servers for a break or prepping salads/ filling ice trays for food servers answering questions setting up shelves.... A food handlers card makes for an optimal floater.
2 of each position is required (at least) and 3 food servers at dinner is good
the food tent needs to be staffed 24/7 11-7 with these positions and 11-7 with 2 donation line/floater folks...
(thoughts on this team?)
http://www.orfoodhandlers.com/eMain.aspx?State=OREGON
this is a link to get a food handlers card if folks are planning to work a lot of shifts and obtaining a Food Handler’s card is a financial hardship we may be able to help. This link has lots of information on food safety too.

Occupy Portland - General Assembly Facilitation

< Occupy Portland
One way to organize what needs to get done is to do it in an open space unconference way. Take the beginning of the gathering to call for discussion topics, whom ever brings them up is committing to hold the space for the topic, facilitate the discussion and make sure notes are available. 
We then have areas that we designate to meet. ie. we have 10 areas at a time for discussion and two slots for the upcoming GA meeting on Tuesday. We have a "board" that shows what is happening so that people can plan their attendance to their interests.

Occupy Portland - Group Text Messaging

<< Return to Occupy Portland page
==Cel.ly==
Moving this to Occupy Portland - Group Text Messaging:
This is set to open and public but Cle.ly has closed features
In good conditions:
* Text @OPcomm to 23599
If cloudy:
* I had Content Block on my family plan, so I had to get my carrier to turn that off before I could text to 5 digit numbers.
; These may be possible options for group text messaging during Occupy Portland.
* Communication team: Use Celly at cel.ly for free group text messaging. It’s like group email but uses texting instead. Occupy Portland can send messages instantly to people on their cell phones so you can disseminate information and coordinate before, during or after the event.
: All phone numbers are private and hidden from others in the group. The group (called a cell) can have as many people as you want. Everyone can chat freely or the cell can be moderated or the members can just receive alerts. Very easy to use, seconds to start, no spamming (the service is opt-in only).
: It’s a Portland-based company. Their website is cel.ly (not dot org or dot com but dot ly). It really is free and they don’t sell your information!
==Group Text Messaging
* http://www.tgdaily.com/mobility-features/58830-how-to-occupywallstreet-anonymously-with-vibe
: Apparently OWS folks are using this. Can someone look into it for Portland?
"I looked into Vibe and it is available on iPhone - depending upon range set was able to pick up messages from occupiers across the country. Useful. Get it. Look forward to testing in a large group. Also looked into Celly. Simple instructions for most smartphones." - taustinsabel has a celly @occupy4good - please search and find it on the cel.ly website and test it.

Occupy Portland - Library News

<<< Occupy Portland
== Library News ==
Did you know that Occupy Portland has a library?!
A large and varied collection of books and documents [and growing]. An archive of Occupy Portland materials is also in the works.
Lauren and Mark are doing a fabulous job. Stop by and browse our growing collection of books, 'zines, pamphlets and other informational and reading resources.
Also, the library is where you can sign up to lead a workshop. I am doing one on Wednesday, for example, on Tax Policy as Class War. (Did you know that 1/2 the income in this country is not taxed?)
So add to this wiki page anything having to do with the library.

Category: Occupy Portland
See a calendar of Library-sponsored Workshops
Oct 27, 2011
The library now has 1100 items! The collection is amazingly varied, including a large group of children's books. We are looking for more materials, especially on politics, economics, and law.
Workshops continue and our experience is that the those participating are from every walk of life and from all ages. The one thing everyone seems to have in common is a desire to learn about and discuss those issues around which Occupy Portland was conceived. This is a "people's college".
Nov 8, 2011
Although not on the calendar, I continue to conduct my workshop on tax reform on Wednesdays at 3:00 [booked at least through Nov 16th, barring any change in the status of OP encampment]. Tax policy and reform may sound boring but I assure you it is not, nor does it require any special current tax understanding. It's precisely this intimidating aspect of tax policy that keeps us from learning more and advocating for change. It doesn't need to be so. Anyone can "get" the concepts I'll talk about.
This week it is titled, Tax Reform for Dummies. Next week, back to Tax Policy as Class War.

Occupy Portland - PSA

< Occupy Portland
== PSA Poster ==
So, as to an idea for the PSA, I think the Occupy Portland poster could be a good starting point.
It is nicely designed, and it might take about 20 seconds to read and reflect on.
We could even use the wording right off the poster, with graphics to give emotional support the idea there.
although it has been use before, various voices speaking the words (dissolving from face to face). It would be cool if the face on the poster came from a local person, and they could be the last face in the dissolve series.
The dissolve to the actual poster.
Other ideas?
== PSA Music ==
I'd like to put this out there - I've got 3 songs from my past two albums that would make great music beds for any videos pertaining this subject. I volunteer them to anyone who needs them. I can get you high quality .aiff or .wav if necessary. It would be good to get these out as they're high impact and locally made.
Give them a listen at the following links:
"Americism"
http://markiris.com/track/americism
"Facing the Comet"
http://markiris.com/track/facing-the-comet
"The Post Republic Bankrupt Blues"
http://markiris.com/track/the-post-republic-bankrupt-blues
If interested send let me know (Markirismusic [at] gmail [dot] com).
== PSA Videos ==
One thing that would be very useful for us would be a short video PSA, or video Public Service Announcement.
* It should be short, 30 seconds or less... 20 seconds would be awesome.
* It should introduce our cause in a dynamic way, to the widest possible audience.
* It should be made available in Mini DV, DVD compatible MPEG,
streaming MP4
There are several Cable Access shows who are sympathetic to our cause and would run the PSA repeatedly as a 'commercial'.
Here's a brief video on YouTube that we could share too: http://youtu.be/eWe0DmrL6qg. It's from a local artist, poet, musician, Kenneth Rougeau

;OCTOBER 1, 2011. PORTLAND, OR.
: [Please note: This press release should be considered a working draft, and has not been distributed to any media outlets as of Oct 1, 2011. Consensus has not yet been reached on content and manner of distribution.
:: 11:25, 9 October 2011 (PDT) UPDATE: Is there a "final" version of the press release shown below?
At noon on Thursday, October 6, concerned citizens of Portland, Oregon will begin demonstrating in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York City. Portland will join a rapidly growing number of U.S. cities whose citizens will no longer sit by and watch passively as powerful special interests commandeer our government for the benefit of the few. 
In the tradition of the Public Square, and in full exercise of our constitutionally guaranteed rights of free speech and assembly, we, the assembled participants of Occupy Portland, will select and occupy an appropriate public space within Portland city limits to use as a central location for meeting, planning, raising awareness, and establishing goals and demands in an open, democratic and participatory forum. 
The first planned event will be a march through downtown Portland at 12pm on October 6, beginning in SW Waterfront Park across the street from the firehouse between Ash and Ankeny. Over the course of this event and in the days that follow we will be acting in accordance with principles of mutual respect and non-violent conflict resolution, as practiced by the participants of the Occupy Wall Street demonstration and similar demonstrations worldwide.
The exact location of the ongoing occupation will be announced one hour prior to the march. All are welcome and encouraged to join. 
For more information or to donate money, food, or services to the movement, please visit www.OccupyPortland.org.
