The aim of Occupy Minneapolis Neighborhood Democracy Project working group is to build a network of people at the neighborhood level to organize in a face-to-face, democratic way around the problems and concerns facing us all both immediately (foreclosures, unemployment, food costs, child care, etc) and nationally (corruption of the political system, the great economic wealth divide, etc).
Ultimately, the goal is to break through the isolation that people experience and create face-to-face forums where direct democracy can take root throughout the city. If further national crisis hits, political networks and horizontally organizational direct democracy structures will be in place to challenge the parallel authority of the existing corrupt mainstream political structure.
Our aim is greater than gaining new “members” to the Occupy movement. The NDP is about building a wider direct-democracy movement for the future. Whether we organize around monthly meetings, assemblies, cookouts, block parties, teachi-ns, skill shares, protests, or a combination of all and more, direct democratic organizing is the key.
In a segmented and isolated population facing hardship and an increasingly corrupt and unresponsive system, we have only ourselves to turn to for support and a new beginning.

I need to get more involved in NDP. Please ask them to endorse the Women’s Rights Rally which will be addressing lots of issues I think they also consider important. And I’m pretty sure women work too, though Republicans and their media machine don’t seem to share that view. Endorsing doesn’t meaning sponsoring/financial commitment. It’s…[Read more]
and thank you @riotpeace for doing the meeting work
We haven’t ever endorsed events, as our working group is focused on building activist networks, rather than specific policy’s etc. Also, I don’t think that NDP has much of a reach through our FB page. Only speaking for myself of course, I don’t think that NDP should complicate the project by endorsing rallies etc. Seems to be much better…[Read more]
