Promoting *peaceful* activism and protests in the OWS Movement.

[I Have A Dream]

Yesterday, I saw many posts in General Discussion containing violent images and promoting violence. The intention of this thread is to direct positive, light-filled energy to the supporters of this movement.

(Please keep this a positive thread; if anyone wants to discuss both sides of the particular issue, please start a new thread. Thank you.)

If this is something that you support, please join me in this thread.

7. I will join you too! I keep imagining the protesters in different cities as an internet of people..

sharing the same concept, intertwined by common grievances, arms locked in unison, spreading out across the world eventually.

Peaceful. Intent. Persistent. Sustained.

8. I join you IHAD...

A world of peace is so much easier than a world of war. Everyone will begin to realize that soon hopefully. The energy is here to support it, and it is time. I am there in spirit everyday. :grouphug:

9. Thanks, I Have a Dream.

This is why I love this forum. These protesters have brought a wave of hopefulness that just keeps growing.


This young Protester is about the age of my children, and I have unending compassion for these young people. I'm Sending love to both these ladies in the belief that they are really on the same side of the 99%. These protesters have impressed me with their nonviolence in the face of police shenanigans and brutality. I see them together. May love and truth melt all divisions. (I couldn't copy the photo, so I hope my link works.) :)

16. I absolutely love that image.

What a sweet young woman, and blessings to the police officer; may her heart stay open (or become open) to the pure message that the protesters are trying to convey.

Thank you for sharing it in this thread, RainbowSuperfund!

10. Yes, indeed! Just watching the midday news

here about San Diego's OWS, the biggest concern is keeping it peaceful. Organizers say even where the rally begins tonight will shutdown at sundown in honor of Yom Kippur, and begin again to remain indefinitely.

11. Yes!!!

Can't work unless it is peaceful! Peace is all that has really ever worked.


Peace

12. I join you

I'm hoping to make an appearance at Occupy Seattle tomorrow as well. We'll bring some bottled water, and we'll join everyone there in peaceful protest.

13. I have only seen the positive so far...

no doubt there will be provocateurs out to make the protests look crazy. But I have only heard and read the most amazing stories of how peaceful they have been and how much all the campers are sharing in the overnight areas.

:hug:

14. That's wonderful, rosie.

I'm glad that the people who are actually attending these rallies have understood the need to keep the movement peaceful.

17. Yes! This thread needs a song!

I love all these photos! It would be a challenge to top them, so here's some music to visualize by. Paging John...paging John...
