Occupy Menifee

In Solidarity with Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Menifee begins. Guidelines:

  • We unequivocally embrace all people without exception.
  • Absolute respect. 
  • We recognize and embrace the equality of our diversity as Menifee residents. 
  • We resist learned prejudices. 
  • We share burdens by taking initiatives to fill roles and relieve comrades. 
  • We encourage all voices. 
  • We discuss ideas, NOT PEOPLE, and disagree without being disagreeable. 
  • We avoid labeling and targeted profanity. 
  • We maintain a positive expression of the “message” by not engaging unstable or volatile people. 
  • We do not accept physical or verbal violence. 
  • We avoid conflict through active listening and awareness of body language and emotional responses. 
  • We seek to grow from our mistakes; conflicts within Occupy Menifee are opportunities to learn. 
  • We are either all leaders or none of us are leaders.
  • Make friends! Make an effort to get to know people and HAVE FUN!
