The Do-It-Yourself Occupation Guide 2024 Edition

by independent effort
Buildings are easier to defend than outdoor camps AND they can be more disruptive. For anyone ready to escalate for Gaza, check out this re-issue of a text that has been used in previous movements.
To print double sided
2024 Edition of the Do-It-Yourself Occupation Guide. Updated to correct some outdated information and add a few minor notes and additions, as well as reformatting into 8.5x11" rather than 8.5x14" size. Released in light of the 2024 student occupations in solidarity with Palestine, taking place across the United States.

The original version of this zine comes out of the 2009/2010 university occupations in the United States. It was updated in 2012 to include lessons learned from Occupy Oakland. The zine provides an overview of techniques and tactics that can be used to occupy a building. It includes a look at various roles (media, legal support), reconnaissance, barricading, defending occupied spaces, and more.

I admire this essential work, though from my experience not as many people consider it essential as I hope. I did the handy Chevron protest guide and one of the relevant discussion is format.
I like small pamphlets. They were a big success at the first annual Oregon Peace Festival, which was the only real one they had, because wankers took over the 2nd year and ended it, as happens to many things. We made the pamphlets a cheap as possible, and passed them out to everyone.
In my opinion, the 14" page can be cleverly folded and printed both side. Then the pages are properly folded so the pages appear in the proper order.
Just a thought.
Thank you for your 2024 edition! I will print a few copies and see if I can get it in to the right hands.
