Why are we here? What are our grievances? What are our demands? What kind of world do we envision?
There are many differing opinions about these topics in Occupy Atlanta, and “DGV” is an opportunity to have those discussions, to promote larger discussion in the community, and (sometimes!) to propose statements for approval to the General Assembly.

Demands, Goals, Visions February 5, 2012 11:47 amI would like to work on a demand/resolution against corporate personhood, possibly based on the assertion that corporate personhood is a human rights violation because it undermines the rights of actual people.
