In early November, Nathan Kleinman, an Occupy protester in Philadelphia,
received an email from someone named Michael Pollok who said he was part
of a group of protesters affiliated with the Occupy movement. Pollok said
the group planned to hold a convention in Philadelphia during the week of
July 4, when 876 delegates from congressional districts around the country
would draft "a petition for a redress of grievances" to be presented to
Congress.
.
Kleinman didn't like the idea, and he didn't think it would go over well
with other people at Occupy Philly either. He had a few specific concerns,
chief among them the fact that the event involved a representative model
of government, as opposed to the consensus model that has characterized
the Occupy movement from the beginning.
.
"I explained all that and had a back-and-forth with him. He got
increasingly testy and his responses were increasingly dismissive, and so
eventually I gave up on him and figured he'd go away," said Kleinman. "But
that's not what happened clearly."
.
This week, the Associated Press and other media outlets reported on
Pollok's plans for the convention, unleashing a bitter debate among
occupiers over the question of who has the right to represent the
movement. (The Huffington Post posted the AP story.)
.
After Pollok reached out to Kleinman, critics within Occupy Philly said,
people involved in his organization, the 99% Declaration Working Group,
brought their plans to the General Assembly of Occupy Philly. Just as
Kleinman had warned Pollok, those ideas met with disapproval.

Many people involved in the Occupy movement were galled that Pollok seemed
to be purporting to represent the movement as a whole. "It's not something
these guys really have the right to do," said Aaron Black, a participant
in Occupy Wall Street. "I suppose everybody can use the word 'occupy,' but
I feel like this is extremely misleading and it's not something we
support."
