Dear Occupy Wall Street. I am writing to request you change your logo, getting rid of the fist. The fist is a symbol of aggression, and we do not need any of that in this movement. We need precision and skillful action, based in genuine understanding of the situation. But we do not need aggression, as it will only derail us all. I recommend you come up with a different image to use in your logo, perhaps two hands holding, or perhaps an open hand which is a symbol of generosity. If we want Wall St. to become generous, this would be an excellent image for the logo of the movement.
With love, Craig Molins
I completely agree with this statement. The idea is to invoke change without the use of aggression and smear tactics. Without this as the backing principle of the movement, none of us will be taken seriously. Organized, unified, and precise arguments with clearly defined solutions is our only option.
A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history. -Mohandas Gandhi
Wall St. to become generous?
