“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
Attributed to Margaret Mead.

james kallunki at jimkallunki@hotmail.co: If you want to defeat the republican senators and congressmen, please do this. Point out how much they have gotten from the health care industry, in campaign donations, then see how many people in their state died because of lack of insurance. Then you will see how much money each death is worth to the republicans.

April 9, 2017 Facebook Share Bottom Graphic Problem Solution:
The Jill Stein/Occupy-Oakland-GA-Logo problem was fixed by deleting the original image, which was linked to the U.K. Guardian site, and substituting the identical image from the occupysf.net media library.

“The images on this page contain alt attributes.”
Attempted to share the post “Jill Stein raises over $4.5m to request US election recounts in battleground states By admin | November 25, 2016 “ to John Fraser’s FB page.
The article appeared but not the image. Instead the Occupy Oakland logo was shown.
Following the links below yielded a clue that the posting metadata was incorrect.
Occupy Oakland image in Facebook posting:
Click the Facebook Share button of the Jill Stein posting above.
Right click the posting in the Facebook Share window and select page info.
Click the Media button at the top.
Scroll through the Addresses and look for “image” in the type column.
Click on that address and the image will be displayed.

Thoughts on Occupy events calendar:
Currently each organizer sends out mass emails to all their individual followers. Occupy, being a follower, receives individual emails from all organizers, groups all the individual emails into the Occupy Calendar and then mass emails them to all our followers. Outreach then posts the calendar on the Occupy site.

Democracy Earth
“Power in your hands. A planetary commons of peers. For everyone, anywhere.”
What differentiates valid elections from surveys is strong identity validation. We are working with pioneering decentralized protocols for identification, so no single corporation (like Facebook) or government (think Estonia) owns your credentials. Only you are in control.
The blockchain — which is, briefly put, an incorruptible and public ledger made up of data that is stored decentrally, entirely distributed and interconnected.
