What draws you to Occupy Cafe?

The Three Pillars of Democracy

Posted on November 28, 2011 at 12:00am 1 Comment

Calls for direct democracy have recently become a lot more prevalent around the world in the context of the Arab Spring, Los Indignados and Occupy Wall Street movements.

Welcome to Occupy Cafe, Chris!  

Please see the "GET STARTED NOW!" section on the main page for things you can do here right away.  The main page also has the schedule of upcoming Cafe Calls and links to register for them in advance.  

Perhaps you want to go to the Core Conversations section of the Forum and post something about "subsidiarity" as one suggested focus for our collective inquiry.

You can also use this link to go straight to registration for our "grand opening" later today (Monday) from 11am-2pm Eastern (come at the top of any hour, or for all three!).  

Hope to "see you" there!

"Influential People" was one man's assessment on exactly that. But how he determined his rankings was the interesting part. They weren't always the reasons you would think. But after thinking about it, they made complete sense. For example:George Washington was ranked in the top 40 of all time. Understandable. But the reason why ... not so much. You…See More

Leadership Ecology

When a Leadership Ecology occurs, a web of relationships emerges revealing each person’s authentic leadership qualities through the transfer of their power to others. When done in a conscious way – a shared collaborative awakening happens.See More
