Occupy St. Louis Official Statement of Tactical Nonviolence

February 17, 2012
By

Statement of tactical non-violence for St. Louis. This is adopted from Occupy Pittsburgh:

 

In solidarity with Occupy Wall Street and other occupations across the country, Occupy St. Louis has adopted the strategy of Tactical Nonviolence.

We are calling this approach Tactical Nonviolence because it limits itself to actual tactics that we will be using, at this time and in this place. It does not demand acceptance of any specific religious, philosophical or political world-view, and though compatible with the ideas of nonresistance and pacifism, it does not ultimately require them; nor is it taken quite so far as those sometimes are. Tactical Nonviolence does not, for instance, rule out all forms of personal self-defense, civil disobedience or direct action, and there is no simple formula covering every possible set of circumstances.

However, Tactical Nonviolence does remain a practical and effective way to empower the disempowered in asymmetrical conflict by concentrating all our efforts toward addressing the real issues, where violence tends to obscure them, and itself becomes the issue.

THEREFORE,  to foster unity across the broad spectrum of views held by those here assembled, to promote the safety of every member of this community, and to help reduce the distortion or dilution of our message to those of the 99% who are not yet with us, we agree to the following points, while at or near Occupy St. Louis’s encampment or actions:
• not to initiate physical violence with members of the police, Occupy participants and supporters, or public,
• if attacked by either, to respond in ways that seek to minimize harm to persons, and
• to abstain from provocative destruction of property.

The General Assembly retains the power to clarify or modify this statement as needed.

Official OSTL statement on Muslims in America Vs. Lowes

December 21, 2011
By

The OCCUPY Movement has taken notice of the recent divestment of millions in ad dollars by 60 major corporations, including Lowe’s & Bank of America, from a time slot on cable television network The Learning Channel occupied by a reality-TV program portraying the everyday lives of Detroit-area Muslim families in today’s America.

Listed here are corporate entities confirmed to have participated in the divestment:

3M (Command, Scotchbrand tape), Airborne Vitamin, Anheuser Busch Inbev (Select55), Art Instruction Schools, Bamboozles,  Bank of America (Cash Rewards), Bare Escentuals, Brother International (Ptouch), Campbell’s Soup, Capital One, Church & Dwight (Oxi Clean, Arm & Hammer), City Furniture, Conagra (Hunt’s Diced Tomatoes), Corinthian Colleges (Everst411), Cotton, Inc., Cumberland Packing (Sweet’N Low), Dell computers,  Diamond Foods (Kettlebrand Chips),  Estee Lauder (Clinique),  ET Browe (Palmer’s Cocoa butter),  Gap,  General Motors (Chevy Runs Deep), Good Year,  Green Mountain Coffee, Guthy Renker (Proactiv), Hershey kisses, Home Depot,  Honda North America,  HTC Phones, Ikea, JC Penney, JP Morgan Chase (Chase Sapphire), Kayak.com, Kellogg (Special K), Koa Brands (John Frieda),  Leapfrog Enterprise (Leapster Explorer),  Lowe’s Mars (Dove Chocolate), McDonald’s, Nationwide Insurance, News Corp, Nintendo (Mariokartz.com),  Novartis (Theraflu), Old Navy, Pernod Ricard (Kahlua), Petsmart, Pier One,  Pfizer (Centrum vitamin),  Procter & Gamble (Align Probiotic, Crest, Febreze, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Pur, Tide), Prudential Financial,  Radio Shack, Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse,  SC Johnson (Drano, Glade, Scrubbing Bubbles),  Sears , Signet (Kay Jewelers), Sonic Drive-ins, Subaru, THQ (uDraw), T-Mobil,  Toyota (Camry), Volkswagen,  Vtech (Mobi Go, V Reader), Wal-Mart, Whirlpool (Maytag).

These corporate giants have yanked their support from the program All American Muslim after bowing to pressure from far-rightwing groups including The Florida Family Association, which waged open campaigns earlier this year to pressure corporations to pull their sponsorship; and the hate-website “Bare Naked Islam”, which is taking partial credit for the ad-pull.

Occupy St. Louis hereby expresses our outrage that supposedly-patriotic corporate entities like  Lowe’s & Bank of America, businesses patronized by American Muslims, would engage in such an open and blatant act of discrimination of an oppressed US minority group.

Since September 11th, 2001 Muslim Americans have been singled out through profiling by government and law enforcement/intelligence agencies, National “Security” policy including – but not limited to The Patriot Act, and media/entertainment industry mis-characterizations including flagrantly racist & increasingly xenophobic generalizations in what passes for “mainstream news” media, today.  Even the most mainstream, “respectable” politicians have participated in Islam a-phobic fear-mongering and the spreading of discriminatory propaganda in the name of the US “War On Terror”.

The Constitutional right of freedom of religion is a basic right for everyone; NO ONE excluded.  While Lowe’s, BOA and over 60 other major corporations involved in this outrage practice their presumed right to do business in the US and accept the business of Muslim Americans who patronize those services, they deny the rights of others to learn about one of the major religions of the world, and have chosen to participate in one of the lowest forms of discrimination possible.

The Occupy Wall Street Movement is opposed to all forms of exclusion and discrimination based upon race, gender, nationality, religion, sexual identity, age, etc.  As we stand united, Wall Street and those who worship money, seek to divide the 99%.  We – the people will not allow the 1% to continue to use discriminatory practices to divide and conquer the 99% here, or abroad!

Occupy St. Louis hereby puts Lowe’s, in particular, on notice that we will be participating in the call to protest and commercial boycott sent out by The Islamic Circle of North America, and that we will encourage our supporters, friends, neighbors, community, and allies to do the same and spread the message that no corporate giant will be allowed any longer to go un-noticed when they participate in the politics of hate and division.

We reject the anti-human and anti-American creed of hatred promoted by Lowe’s, by Bank of America, & by any corporate entity.  How “low” can corporate America go?

Occupy St. Louis Cites City for Violations

Occupy St. Louis Cites City for Violations

November 7, 2011—Today OccupySTL is issuing an open statement regarding the group’s presence in Kiener Plaza. The statement reads:

Occupy St. Louis is one of many encampments that exist as a solidarity movement with the Occupy Wall Street movement, which formed to publicly attest to the fact that corporations control far too much of our economy and political life. This movement has received vast support across the country. How ironic, then, that Mayor Slay has decided to stop listening to the complaints of the people and instead heed the complaints of the corporate groups who control the city. This week, Downtown Partnership met with the mayor’s office and told him to shut us down. He responded to their call. No more fitting example could illustrate who is pulling the strings. (For a list of those who voiced the words behind the Mayor’s blog: http://www.downtownstl.org/AboutUs/PartnershipforDowntownStLouis/PartnershipBoard.aspx)

The Occupy St. Louis movement is further disappointed that the mayor has chosen to hide behind false accusations to sway public opinion and to indicate that he has spoken to Occupy St. Louis. There has been no communication between the Mayor’s office and Occupy St. Louis-only blog posts that have not been sent to Occupy St. Louis. The mayor’s chief of staff is quoted as saying that Kiener Plaza “reeks of urine.” Anyone is welcome to come to the site to see that this is not true. The occupiers have done a remarkable job of maintaining a clean and orderly space. The other allegations issued by the Parks Department are equally untrue in blaming the occupiers for a host of grievances, ranging from the ridiculous (glass bottles), to the obscene, (public urination). Occupy St. Louis has always adhered to the idea that public spaces are public spaces and we have no grounds to tell people to leave, other than to encourage everyone to adhere to our safe space policy. The Mayor blames Occupy St. Louis, (which is not an organization but a group of autonomous individuals coming together to make decisions collectively) for behaviors that are almost universally the actions of individuals not participating in Occupy activities and would most likely have occurred regardless of our presence. The mayor’s other concern, that the occupiers must give way to allow for other events, is equally unfair. We have shared the Plaza with other groups on several occasions so far; it is everyone’s space and everyone is welcome. On the other hand, a Macy’s display with the occupiers evicted might just be enough to convince many in the area to Occupy the Holidays by shopping only at smaller local businesses.

To put these accusations in perspective, we are issuing today our own list of violations committed by the city, of which Mayor Slay has been the chief executive for eleven years. Some of the violations cited illustrate the inconsistent application of laws that the mayor now wants to use against Occupy St. Louis. These are cases of hypocrisy and raise serious questions about unequal protection under the law. Other violations show the city’s cooperation with Big Business and demonstrate complicity in the economic oppression being raised by Occupy St. Louis. And of course, the violations include the incredible disparity and racial injustice that this City has long perpetrated on African Americans. In total, these violations make the trivial and untrue accusations raised against us pale in comparison.

Occupy St. Louis urges all people to stand with us and not corporate influence. We realize that our politicians continue to let themselves be used by Big Business and we are currently in a world where we let those who have money dictate who can be elected. It is up to all of us as individuals to decide where to stand as this movement sweeps the country. Occupy St. Louis’ issue is with abuse of corporate power. It is unfortunate that our elected officials have decided to continue to uphold that abuse. Individuals can let their voices be heard by joining OccupySTL and/or at the voting booth in 2012.

The following bold text has been amended to the 6th Official Statement (below, approved 10/12/2011), as approved by two consecutive General Assemblies on October 24th:

As citizens of the world, we have a self-evident right to peaceably assemble to bring forth ideas and discussions concerning us all. We have witnessed occupied commons being harassed, a hypocrisy of the United State’s own high law, even as those occupied commons are peaceful. We assert this statement collectively to stand against this hypocrisy.

Occupy St. Louis issues the following statement of solidarity in response to the police actions taken against various Occupy Movements in the last 48 hours:

1. We specifically condemn all attacks and arrests made by the Boston police force against the persons of Occupy Boston, as well as all attacks and arrests made by any police force against any Occupy Movement.
2. We specifically condemn the destruction of the property of the Boston Occupiers.
3. We stand by our brothers and sisters as they assert their right to assemble peacefully and create a space in which their voices can be heard.
4. We support all occupations within the Occupy Movement in their efforts to maintain and occupy their chosen spaces.
5. We condemn all coordinated actions made against any occupation within the Occupy Movement.
6. We condemn all media bans of Occupy Movements worldwide.
7. We specifically support the cooperative spirit of the Mayor of Seattle in his requests to the Seattle police force to pull back from its actions against the Seattle Occupiers.
8. We specifically condemn the breakdown in cooperation between the Mayor of Seattle and the Seattle police force, primarily because of its potential to facilitate violent police action.
9. We wish to express our support for the continued, collaborative efforts of all Occupy Movements to disseminate information and updates about police actions taken against any Occupy Movement.
10. We wish to express our support for the continuation of every city’s Occupy Movement, no matter the opposition it has faced.

The Fifth Official Statement of the Occupy St Louis General Assembly

October 12, 2011
By

This statement was proposed to and approved by the 10/11/2011 Evening General Assembly and the 10/12/2011 Morning Assembly by consensus:

“There are various forms of oppression embedded within the dominant culture and in the socio-political and economic systems of this country. As a community which seeks to build power and gain momentum through consensus-based decision-making and respectful social relations, we stand in opposition to the way in which our society privileges some people over others. We want to create an inclusive atmosphere of ideas in which we do not police each other’s thoughts, but we have absolutely no tolerance for oppressive or intimidating words or actions. Though our aim is to encourage and foster creative debate, we do not tolerate any form of discrimination based on actual or perceived  race, class, gender identity, sexual orientation, education, nationality, religion, ethnicity or abilities within our occupied space.”

Statement of Solidarity with the Declaration of the Occupation of New York City

October 12, 2011
By

I am posting this now only because it has not been posted before. On Sunday, October 2, 2011, the Occupy St Louis General Assembly, by direct consensus, agreed to stand in solidarity with the following Declaration of the Occupation of New York City, and to effectively adopt it as our own declaration (changing, of course, references to New York to St Louis):

Declaration of the Occupation of New York City

Posted on by

This document was accepted by the NYC General Assembly on september 29, 2011

Translations: French, Slovak, Spanish, German, Italian

“As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.

As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.

They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage.
They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses.
They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one’s skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation.
They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.
They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless animals, and actively hide these practices.
They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.
They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.
They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers’ healthcare and pay.
They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.
They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance.
They have sold our privacy as a commodity.
They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press. They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.
They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.
They have donated large sums of money to politicians, who are responsible for regulating them.
They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.
They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people’s lives or provide relief in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantial profit.
They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.
They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media.
They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt.
They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad. They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas.
They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts. *

To the people of the world,

We, the New York City General Assembly occupying Wall Street in Liberty Square, urge you to assert your power.

Exercise your right to peaceably assemble; occupy public space; create a process to address the problems we face, and generate solutions accessible to everyone.

To all communities that take action and form groups in the spirit of direct democracy, we offer support, documentation, and all of the resources at our disposal.

Join us and make your voices heard!

*These grievances are not all-inclusive.”

2. We commit to offer practical and creative support to those who walk out from union or non-union work places, with or without union leadership.

 

3.This statement also applies to student strikes.

 

By issuing this statement, we wish to send a message to everyone in this city, that if you are fighting back, then we got your back. Talk to your co-workers and fellow students. Every grievance against this system is worthy of a collective response.
We encourage everyone, ourselves included, to no longer let our discontent boil beneath the surface. We believe the time to act is now.”
