Occupy the Future: Evolver Spore at OLB Site

Occupy the Future

Over the last months, hundreds of thousands of people - around the US and across the world - have risen up to protest against a parasitic financial system that grotesquely rewards a tiny elite and shafts everyone else. A central question is where “the 99%” of us intend to take this burgeoning movement, which has yet to articulate a set of specific demands and objectives.

But for many of those who are joining this uprising, the Occupy movement isn’t about fixing or reforming current institutions: It is about making a fundamental change in the course of civilization before it is too late to avert ecological and social collapse.

In a discussion led by Tony Damico, Shift Long Beach invites you to join the 40+ spore groups in the Evolver Social Movement in envisioning and highlighting emerging networks and systems that aim to eliminate inequity, bridge politics and spirituality, support sustainable practices, and facilitate collaborative decision-making.
