The document proposes a strategy called "Stories from Occupy" to revitalize the Occupy movement by highlighting specific cases of individuals harmed by corporations and encouraging supporters to share their stories online. It involves creating a website where people can write about their problems, such as issues with loans or healthcare, and target the corporations responsible. Occupiers will spread the stories on social media to bring attention to the issues and put pressure on the corporations to address them. The goal is to refocus Occupy's energy on grassroots support for people while drawing attention back to the human impacts of corporate actions.

With no clear direction, it becomes harder to convince
people who are not involved in the movement to join in.

6. The Occupy Movement
For Occupy to further grow in strength and not
stagnate, it needs to direct its energies better and
make its aims understandable to the masses.

7. The Occupy Movement
To do this, we go back to what Occupy was about at
the beginning: The people who are affected and the
Corporations causing the harm.
