Out of the Box

"Most of the urban participants in the Other Campaign were raised in a largely individualistic, capitalist culture and do not really know how to communicate and make decisions collectively in large assemblies. ...We have much still to learn about listening.

Time and urgency should not be seen as opposing forces, imposing a decision to give priority to one or the other. Both must fuel the spirit and direction of the organizing. Deeply entrenched cultures and institutions of oppression will be uprooted through slow, considered organizing from the bottom up, but the scale and force of state repression demand a simultaneous stepping up of the intensity, breaking out of the box of marches and town square speeches to carry out more diverse and creative actions that communicate and convoke."
