Doo-Occupy!

This music video was created as part of the Doo-Occupy, Bail Out America project, a collaboration instigated by the Backbone Campaign (http://BackboneCampaign.org) to spread best practices in community organizing for eviction protection, student debt relief and other economic democracy causes - and combine them with the strategic thinking and the hottest tactical tools used by Backbone Campaign and others.

Our hope is to provide focus and capacity to the emerging populist uprising. We wish to help amplify its power through inspiring movement-building campaigns that are rooted in communities and deliver victories that make a material difference in people's lives.

Through this we will grow our movement from the power we have to the power we need to transform society and establish a new social contract based not on citizenship or property, but on universal human rights.

The Doo-Occupy, Bail Out America 2 Days of Training, 2 Days of Action in DC, March 31-April 3 is an intensive "Learning by Doing" action training that will deliver organizing and tactical tools to take home, as well as the experience of participating in a couple of the most fun and savvy actions Backbone has ever undertaken. Thanks to all our allies for joining the fun.
