DESCRIPTION:Occupy Forum continues. . .\n\nInformation, discussion & community! Monday 
 Night Forum!!\nOccupy Forum is an opportunity for open and respectful 
 dialogue on all sides of these critically important issues!\n\nOccupyForum 
 presents. . .\nThe Movement Action Plan: A Model for How Successful 
 Movements Work\nwith JoAnn McAllister\n\nEven through grassroots activists 
 and their social movements have been powerful and often successful 
 throughout history, most activists believe they are powerless and feel 
 their movement is ineffective and failing. These beliefs can become 
 self-fulfilling prophesies that create a chain reaction of hopelessness, 
 low energy, burnout, dropout, declining numbers, and disastrous strategies 
 and tactics. Without a guiding framework that explains the step-by-step 
 process of social movement success, activists are unable to set appropriate 
 long- and short-term goals, develop appropriate strategies, tactics and 
 campaigns; and avoid common pitfalls. The Movement Action Plan Model 
 provides tools of analysis and action, and offers great hope to those 
 working to change society.\n\nJoAnn McAllister is the Director of the Human 
 Science Degree Program at Saybrook University in San Francisco. JoAnn 
 develops programs for community-based organizations, educational 
 institutions, and government agencies, and participated in numerous social 
 movements over the last 30 years. She is the co-author of Doing Democracy: 
 The MAP Model of Social Movements, developed by non-violent activist and 
 trainer Bill Moyer who began working for social change with the American 
 Friends Service Committee in the 1960s and then as staff with Dr. Martin 
 Luther King, and participated in or trained activists in almost every major 
 social change initiative over the succeeding forty years.\n\nParticipants 
 will be invited to begin analyzing the stages of the Occupy movement and 
 the roles that citizens -- activists, rebels, change agents, and reformers 
 -- are playing in bringing about systemic change.\n\nTime will be allotted 
 for Q&A, discussion and announcements. Donations to Occupy Forum to cover 
 costs are encouraged; no one turned away! \n
