Solidarity just found a new expression: “Mic check messages” a way for truth to be heard on any stage.

It takes balls to stand up and speak out in defense of right especially in a meeting arranged by those who have an agenda that does not unite humanity or respect nature. But what do you do if the people don't have control of the actual microphone? You deliver a "MIC CHECK message".

Worlds first Mic Check Message

This movement will hopefully grow to become an effective and standalone offshoot of the Occupy movement. It involves standing up in a meeting to speak up for truth, equality, love common sense and harmony (which includes justice, peace, exposing corruption and rascism). This kind of participation is called a "mic test message" (MTM)
Typical steps for delivering a mic test message:
1/ Identify a meeting that could really do with a "Mic test message"
2/ Prepare what you want to be said in the meeting
3/ Vet it with others and gain support for this message to be heard
4/ Make copies of the message
5/ Enroll more people and get their commitment to attend
6/ Give everyone a copy of the MTM and make a commitment to see it through
7/ Make sure their are independent recording devices there so that those that miss the meeting can still benefit from the message
8/ Someone stand up and even go to the front to announce the "Mic test" to which all should repeat in support.
9/ Announcer begins reading and everyone else repeating in bight size portions
10/ If when the announcer is removed the next person gets up and picks up where left off
11/ Continue to stand up announcers until the mic test message is complete
12/ Share your mic test with the world!

Simon is a father and avid researcher dedicated to supporting living solutions.  Of mixed heritage Simon appreciates cultural and natural diversity.  He considers himself a common man (man in common to all others) of the land (tangata whenua).Simon has recently developed an interest in Law (Tikanga, Principles, Maxims, Common law, Legal aka Admiralty law), society and the English language.  His probing led him to experience systematic wrongs performed by sworn members of "The system".  He also experienced the conditioned responses of many whose spirit of freedom, sense of contentedness and morality has been suppressed by "normalization" of the unnatural.  These insights are now shared for the benefit of all.  "Once we accept that man-kind has been gifted free-will we can be confident that we are co-creators of society. There is therefore no reason to fear our own hand and every reason to give our life's energy in service to the calling of our heart. Through personal responsibility society will emulate the beauty of the natural world, an inevitable change that will happen in one righteous moment."  Simon Kaiwai November, 2010

THE WIND CRIES FREEDOM

The Wind Cries Freedom, the new book from Z co-founder Michael Albert, is a sweeping oral history of a future American revolution.

Through thirty interconnected chapters, it draws out the strategies, failures, turning points, and hard-won wisdom of a movement that called itself the Revolutionary Participatory Society. These are not the polished memoirs of politicians: they are the unfiltered accounts of people who organized in neighborhoods, hospitals, universities, stadiums, courthouses, and places of worship, and kept a shared vision alive through cynicism and exhaustion.

The result is speculative political fiction that reads like history: messy, human, and quietly hopeful in the way that only real experience and long thought can produce.

“Read it, argue with it, but don’t look away. The future it recalls is one we must still fight to deserve.”

“The most unusual and intriguing combination of prophecy, manifesto, and movement building manual that I have ever encountered.”

Bill Fletcher Junior

“This work fills a huge gap in our social movement literature.”

Independent media is not disappearing because the ideas are weak.

It is disappearing because platforms reward speed, outrage, and algorithmic visibility over thoughtful analysis.
