Be the change you want to see in this world - Gandhiji

We are inspired by people's uprisings around the world from Tunisia,
Egypt, Spain, current Occupation of Wall Street in New York City and
various cities in the United States. In Pune, we are coming together
to join the global revolution on 15 October.
Some users of the people's social network Diaspora (a response to
profit motivated, single company controlled, easily censored, personal
data collecting and selling social networks like twitter, facebook and
google plus) noticed a call to action on 15 October for people of the
world to rise up for #globalchange They were also following
#occupywallstreet very closely and were greatly inspired by what they
saw online.

They also realized people are fed up with the current system and want
change, from the huge popularity of Anna Hazare's movement against
corruption. They wanted to extend this fight to other important issues
this country faces like education and health care affordable only for
the rich, people being thrown out of their homes in the name of
development, etc
They immediately started talking about this nascent movement to their
friends even before it was picked up by the mainstream media. They
felt it would be awesome if they can organize something in Pune in
solidarity with the great struggles with the aim of spreading
awareness about this uprising to more people and look for an
opportunity to forge a similar movement - leaderless, horizondal,
spontaneous, here.

This circle of friends came up with this idea after many discussions
and considering different possible ideas.
... to meet at  Shanivarwada, 4:00 pm Saturday 15 Oct and make posters
together. Every  one should bring their on sheets, card board boxes,
colour pens,  pencils, markers, paints etc. Theme for posters is "The
change, I want  to bring in this world." "मैं इस दुनिया मैं क्या बदलाव
लाना चाहता हूं।"

It is open to anyone who wish to bring about a political, economical
and social change via non-violant and democratic means. The idea here
is to promote the feeling of peers doing things together as opposed to
following a few leaders.
We think the current system is broken and it caters to only a few
elites at the top and we need to give power to the people at the
bottom who is struggling every day to meet their ends. It is a
leaderless collective and anyone sharing these values are open to join
it.

Share it with your friends and join an event neat you or make one
event near you and stand with the rest of the world on 15 October for
collective action.

You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your
rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as
they follow the rules: laws and constitution.
