[OccupyComms] 15M 2012 (Mark Barrett)

[Standing Stone]

Hi Mark,

I agree that something needs to be done to mark the beginning of this movement. I'll relay these proposals to the rest of Occupy Bath, and hopefully we'll talk further at our next meeting.

> In contrast, the 15M is intended as a global day of action, intervening on
> capital flows and mobility, while coordinating actions are launched
> carrying the world to start walking in a new direction. It?s about building
> a new imagery to define new human relationships, economic, social, to
> provide us with the transformation of power relations between governments,
> capitalist rule and societies.
