Action guidelines
Prior to the May 2005 actions at Halliburton's shareholder meeting, Houston Global Awareness issued the following guidelines for people participating in their action:
Houston Global Awareness Collective Action Guidelines
- Houston Global Awareness is a nonviolent organization.
- We will carry out this action in a manner that reflects the world we want to create, and act in the service of what we love.
- We envision a nonviolent world, and we will use means consistent with this vision. We will carry no weapons to our action.
- We will act with respect for the local community and in a way that encourages all to join us.
- We will protect and care for each other in this action. We will stand in solidarity against police and state repression, even with those whose choices differ from ours, and work to ensure our tactics do not result in the endangerment of our sister and brother activists or people not participating in the demonstrations.
- We recognize that people of color, poor people, LGBT's, people of limited mobility, and immigrant groups are at greater risk of police harassment, arrest and abuse. We respect that people may wish or need to have safer spaces to express themselves and we will act accordingly.
- We will use common sense at our actions. We will bring no drugs or alcohol unless for medical purposes.
