I am a HUGE fan of this movement, and I really believe that it can be successful. You guys NEED to be more organized though. Organization is key in a revolution, and without it, the revolution will disintegrate into our history textbooks.
First, you need a public speaker/leader. Theres always a face to every revolution, and this one is in desperate need for one.
Second, you need a public speech. Everyone knows that he most memorable part of the civil rights movement was Martin Luther King, Jr's inspiring speech.
Lastly, you need to inform supports that are not able to rally what they can do to help. Make a list of companies to boycott, things they can do, changes they can make to their daily life, so that they to, can participate, and keep this movement rolling. (For example, telling the public to withdraw, and close their bank accounts)
Good Luck
There is organization within the supposed chaos that you see around you. If you don't like it, throw yourself under your bed, curl into a ball and wait till the universe implodes.
There will be NO leader because WE ARE ALL LEADERS!!! If you feel that YOU need to follow someone, then you are looking in the wrong place. It also tells me and others that YOU have NO voice of your own. Go grow some balls then come back to the movement.
Martin Luther King was a great man and an excellent speaker, but what YOU have to see is that there are just as many excellent speakers out there today and there are lots of them in the movement right now. Those who want to speak can do so anytime.
There is a list which so many want to keep avoiding because it doesn't fit into the perfect little form others normally have had theirs. There are also MANY corporations that should be boycotted and if you have any sort of brain, and have kept your ears open throughout all this time, then you would know which corporations YOU should boycott.
I do agree with you, but the thing is: the movement currently has no leader because none of these issues are set in stone!! There are so many things people want changed, we must sift through them all all pick the issues that are actually plausible and truly help the majority. Once that is established, leaders will naturally rise to the top of this movement and begin making these revolutionary speeches. Patience is key, revolution doesn't happen over night.
Very true
