This is very insightful and helpful

You are spot on about continuing the collective action after the moment of rebellion/occupation- and the key is collective action to form a movement beyond a specific moment

And Occupy did spark many movements beyond the moment that are manifesting in many different ways around the world

I too went on from Occupy to find my meaningful work and to find my collective of people/crew ; and we do not make much money either but we are richer than ever because we spend our time and energy collectively pursuing our purpose

But as you rightfully say it is imperative to find your collective/crew and build on the momentum beyond the moment to build movements- you are spot on and thank you for the link to microsolidarity – we do need to evolve it to universal/macro solidarity

So how we see it/our theory of change:

Moments of collective action spark momentum for movements and we should see the moments as transient catalysts for longer-term movements that will continue to evolve and spread in many often unseen ways – increased consciosusnes//different ways of seeing/being/doing/choosing/living/working/socialising/- but these are not so visible or spectacular and often it seems that the moment or movement has fizzled out or died – and often it does- but often it lives on in many of us in many ways and we have to keep making those connections and joining the dots locally and globally

Wishing you continued success and fulfilment with your work
