"Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters... This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will." -Frederick Douglass
The Worldwide Wave Of Action begins April 4th and runs through July 4th. During this three-month cycle, people throughout the world will be protesting corruption, rallying around solutions and taking part in alternative systems. The new paradigm will be on full display.
Studies have proven that it only takes 3.5% of the population taking nonviolent action to create meaningful and positive change. The Worldwide Wave Of Action gives all of us who want change a powerful opportunity to make it happen and move society forward. Change-makers all over the world will be engaged at the same time in an unprecedented wave of transformation.
On April 4th, there will be Worldwide Wave launch celebrations at hundreds of former Occupy locations globally to honor Dr. Martin Luther King’s legacy of nonviolent action. The day will be spent connecting with allies and strategizing Spring action campaigns. This campaign will become what you, the people, make of it, self-organizing and organically evolving, a new culture will emerge.
What are you most passionate about? What are you doing to be the change? Whatever it is, passionately be it in public this Spring. We have power in numbers. United we are unstoppable.
