Help Create A List of OWS Projects!

Help Create A List of OWS Projects!

Welcome to the survey form for the Occupy NYC Project List, Issue 3!

The Project List is one response to the question: "What is OWS doing these days?" The answer is more and more all the time as our movement grows.

We distributed 10,000 copies of our second issue with 80 some projects. We invite you to be part of our third issue by filling out the survey below by June 1st, 6pm.

Please fill out this form for each ACTIVE project you are organizing with OWS allies or your working group. A 'project' is an ongoing or time specific planned undertaking.

We plan to begin distributing Issue #3 in early June. We plan to print 10,000 copies and distribute it to NYC metro area Occupies and neighborhoods as well as at major transportation hubs.

THE NEXT ISSUE WILL NOT HAPPEN WITHOUT FUNDING. We need your support to promote your projects! We survive or perish based on small contributions from lots of people! PLEASE CONTRIBUTE AND GET YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO CONTRIBUTE. $5 from 400 people will make the next issue happen.

In addition to helping us all know more about 'what the heck is going on,' this participatory research will improve equal access to information, reduce hierarchy, and help uncover overlapping projects.

We can also better understand our movement by sharing knowledge about who we are working with outside of OWS. Please let Tech Ops know your thoughts and feelings about this initiative!

Knowledge is power. Shared knowledge is collective power.

  • We would love to let you know about new fundraising opportunities as they emerge.

  • An email is required for at least one point person, preferably at least 2. The email address must be checked regularly and available for inquiries from both within and outside the movement. This is the contact information you would like the public to use to get in touch with your project.

  • 1,150 characters MAX (250 words approx)
    If your project involves a specific location BE SURE TO LIST IMPORTANT LOCATIONS HERE.
    Project descriptions help other OWS people or the general public quickly get an idea of whether they are interested in helping out and if their skills might be helpful. (Example: ‘Occupy Town Square will be setting up recurring occupations in parks and plazas around the city in order to reclaim public space for free speech, art, teach-ins, tabling, political discussions, and to recapture the spirit of Zuccotti Park during the Occupation. Working groups, please bring your fliers and setup a table! Whether a supporter or not, please join us to debate, learn from each other, and collaborate. Our first event is Sunday, January 29 in Washington Square Park.’).
  • For example: 'Outreach WG, Press WG, POC, LEGAL'
  • For example: 'ACLU, National Lawyers Guild, SEIU, Occupy the Bronx Housing Working Group'
  • 200 characters MAX (50 words approx).
  • "What is the name of that project and a contact? Please give a phone number or email - will keep this confidential but just want to follow up for the purposes of interviewing them. Please start a new interview form for each project."
