<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Just a note- the film How To Start A Revolution is about the work of Gene Sharp, who writes about non-violent revolution. He lives in Boston and is my neighbor, as are some of the people that work with him at the Albert Einstein Institution. He has written several short but very informative booklets on the topic that were read by leaders of the Arab Spring and that I would encourage everyone to read. I got him to donate several copies to the OB library back in October, but I don't know where they are now since the library was evacuated.</div><div><br></div><div>The film was shown once at Dewey Square, but if anyone else wanted to organize an indoor screening for OB I could see if Mr. Sharp would be willing to come speak. He is very elderly so he doesn't too many speaking engagements but he did speak at the premiere of the film a few months ago, which I attended.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Maureen<br><br>On Dec 16, 2011, at 10:32 AM, Martin <<a href="mailto:m2@occupyboston.org">m2@occupyboston.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>
Team, <br>
<br>
Here are some very important tools yall should look into for your
work. <br>
<br>
1. Four Types of power<br>
Stimulated by Occupy and an expanding inquiry into new forms of
economics, combined with my ongoing interest in bringing wisdom to
politics and governance, I've stumbled on a productive approach to
pulling it all together: Start from an exploration of Power -
particularly, but not only, social power. This brings both politics
and economics under the same roof, and oddly integrates protest
movements, alternative technologies and social forms, and the human
potential movement. More on that later.<br>

<br>
2. HOW TO START A REVOLUTION <br>
is a new documentary film revealing how one man's work has helped
millions of people achieve freedom in the face of oppression and
tyranny.<b> <br>

<br>
3. Bringing Down A Dictator <br>
(56 min) documents the spectacular defeat of Slobodan Milosevic in
October, 2000, not by force of arms, as many had predicted, but by
an ingenious nonviolent strategy of honest elections and massive
civil disobedience.<br>
