CHANGE STARTS WITH ME

    
 I  imagined the power of your movement if it included some of the “other” 1% and employees of banks and corporations.   What if rather than demonizing millions of people you invited them to join you in speaking out against economic injustice?  What if rather than being against so many things – and people – you were for something positive?
 Both Gandhi and Martin Luther King wrote that successful non violent social movements require internal work among the participants, not just action in the outside world.  The internal work is to develop enough wisdom and compassion so that people do not become the subject of protest, anger and violence.   The focus is always on the condition, the policy, the underlying cause of the injustice.
