Event Description

A peaceful revolution is occurring
People are uniting around the world
The Occupy Movement is growing.

On Oct 28th 2011 - We send a powerful message:
WE SHUT THE SYSTEM DOWN.

For one day we peacefully protest in a symbol that will be felt across the globe.

We step out of the economic system and we spend a day to step back into ourselves.

Some Guidelines

1) A 24 hour television blackout where all participants willfully keep their tubes turned off. If enough people participate, this could cost corporations millions in lost revenue.

2) A 24 hour retail boycott where all participants agree to refrain from buying any merchandise not directly associated with basic needs, such as food and medicine.

3) A 24 hour employment walkout where participants refuse to attend work, with the exception of emergency services.

4) It has been suggested and bears repeating, all bank accounts that are not absolutely necessary should be closed. If you must retain a bank account, switch to a credit union or smaller locally owned bank.

Others have suggested - turning off all lights, unplug all the plugs or shut off power to your home even.
Don't use your TV, radio, internet or even the phone.
Don't buy -anything- and if there are services you've been thinking about cancelling. Today's a good day to do it.
Call in sick to work.

Basically do your best to do NOTHING that generates money into THE SYSTEM.

Send a message & unite!

Most importantly, for one day, give yourself the gift of inner reflection, without distraction. Take time to read a book or meditate. Play games or have conversations with loved ones. Work on a creative project, alone or as a family.

On Oct 28th 2011
Step out of the system and get back to yourself. Turn off the economic powers and empower yourself!

Spread the word!
SHUT IT ALL DOWN!

*Note, if for whatever reason, you decide you do not wish to participate in this fully. Do your best to do what you can do. The less you put into the system tomorrow the better. Participating half way is still better than not participating at all!

Let's up the ante, by utilizing Co-Creative intent, and envision the type of World we DO want to live in, rather than focus on those aspects we don't desire.

Peaceful non-compliance & non-participation...

Respect.

Comment by Leila Raven on October 27, 2011 at 8:44am: For myself after a lot of heart and soul searching.

I will be partially participating.

I will be keeping Temple Illuminatus up and running, and I will be online to check on things. So I'll have power running in the house for that.

I won't purchase anything however, and will encourage my family to do the same. I will also reduce power usage.

I know others will likely also be unable or unwilling to participate fully for whatever reasons, rather than embrace any guilt, shame or blame towards self or others, I encourage people to simply do as much as they can do toward this action tomorrow. Every little bit DOES make a difference, a combined voice of this type is very very powerful. Take some action, any action, you can, to put less money into the system tomorrow.

I reserve the right to change my mind, and go offline completely tomorrow. If I do, there will be a notice of explanation up along with encouragement for others to participate in Occupy Yourself.
