Occupy the Banks! Foreclose on the 1%
Ruckus folks are on the ground supporting Occupy camps in various cities across the U.S. and Canada, including the original Occupy Wall Street, and here in Ruckus's hometown, Oakland - where we helped pull off various 'Occupy the Banks' actions on Oakland's historic General Strike Nov. 2nd, 2011.

Indigenous Peoples' Power Project (IP3)
Our IP3 project has been training indigenous activists in direct action skills since 2004, and supporting communities in their human rights struggles to protect sacred land from resource extraction and other self-determination issues. Shown here: Klamath River tribes members in their winning campaign against Warren Buffet's dams.
Action Toolbox: How-To Guides
Check out Ruckus's Action Toolbox for manuals and other resources on direct action planning and tactics. Our Balloon Banner Action Manual will guide you step-by-step through how to deploy a banner such as this one! Shown here: Ruckus's "Dam Home Depot" action for International Rivers at Home Depot's Shareholders meeting in Atlanta, May 2009.
Cutting Edge Actions
We know that the most effective actions are strategic and creative. We support communities in taking actions appropriate to their situations, at various levels - from high tech framing actions such as this iconic banner drop at the Seattle WTO shutdown in 1999, to street theatre, blockades, and visionary community takeovers.
