“As an organization whose values include cooperation, mutuality, nonviolence, and consensual decision making,
- we support the right to peaceably assemble;
- we support the non-hierarchical, organic, democratic, cooperative model of the Occupy Wall Street Movement;
- we stand with the Occupy Wall Street Movement calling for a fundamental shift in power and resources and a co-created sustainable future for all.”
