Already: Amazingness...

Check out this amazing list of ideas already brewing about the idea...

From Sam Ward on Facebook:

This is a protesting tactic which is designed to spread our message over a wide area.

• The optimal situation is one where there is at least 1 protester on every street corner of the target area. Standing alone can be unsafe or boring so 2 protesters per corner should also be expected.
• This means 4-8 protesters per 4-way intersection.
• In San Diego, Broadway Ave. has approximately 100 street corners from the waterfront to 17th street (where the bridge over highway 5 is).
• We only need 100 people to put 1 person on every corner of Broadway Ave. in downtown.
• For each ~100 people after that, we can cover another street that runs through downtown.
• We can also choose to put only 1 or 2 protesters per intersection and thereby double, triple, or quadruple the exposure. With only 1 protester per intersection we need just25 people to have a presence throughout Broadway Ave. in downtown.
• I recommend buying a Crayola Giant Floor Pad (which is like a flipbook for posters), and a Sharpie Magnum permanent marker to quickly make individual signs with enormous bold lettering. The giant floor pad has 30 sheets of paper and a handle. When you get a new idea you just flip it to a new page and draw that sumbitch with the sharpie.

From Toby Joe Lewandoski on Facebook:

We need to create an event with considerations: 1.Heavy traffic around the city, around trolley lines, buses shopping centers, schools, and coffee shops, probably more 2.Exact message to convey, 3. Material and resources, 4. Must get the message out so advance planning needs to happen. I say the day after Thanks Giving, Black Friday. 11/25/2011.


From Barbara Cummings on Facebook: 

Just a thought on visibility. Black on white is best if you can. Large letters, at least 6-8 inches. Let the sun be your spotlight. If drivers are squinting into the sun, they cannot see you. Hold you sign high so both directions can see. NOV 5th, bank transfer day! Credit Unions are expecting an onslaught. Good work San Diego.


From Pete Schmidt on Facebook:

I love this! I would suggest organizing it around a central area (for instance let's grab every corner we can in Gaslamp starting around the Embarcadaro and moving out) or focusing on central corridors (like maybe taking every corner of University from Mission Hills to Northpark). Link it up through Google maps and have people sign up for corners to stand on between 11am-2pm.

From Anita Simons on Facebook:
This is exactly what the OWS movement needs: ACTION! I love it. All it takes is one person on every street corner with a different message that OWS/OSD has put out there in the list of grievances. I've seen some very thought-provoking and succinct signs that get our message out in a non-threatening way. Wouldn't hurt to have us have some info sheets to pass out for those who want to join us. I'll work on tht this weekend. Keep the action ideas coming!


From Merton Gaudette on Facebook:

I like the idea of 2-4 people per corner; IMO, at least one should have a VideoCam and operate incognito for the safety of the others, as well as possible inspirational video clips. I have a pro grade shoulder mount Video Cam that I am happy to bring along.
Suggestion: let's start using the hashtag #Occupyrcorner for twitter communications....unless a hashtag has already been set up?
