“a politics of the public body”

Judith Butler Washington Square Park 6 pm 10/23/2011

I've come here to lend my support and offer my solidarity for this unprecedented display of popular and democratic will before us

So what are the demands that all these people are making?

Either they say there are no demands and that leaves your critics confused

Or they say that demands for social equality that demands for economic justice are impossible demands and impossible demands are just not practical

But we disagree

If hope is an impossible demand then we demand the impossible

If the right to shelter, food and employment are impossible demands then we demand the impossible

If it is impossible to demand that those who profit from the recession redistribute their wealth and cease their greed than yes we demand the impossible

Of course the list of our demands is long these are demands for which there can be no arbitration

We object to the monopolization of wealth We object to making working populations disposable We object to the privatization of education We believe that education must be a public good and a public value We oppose the expanding numbers of the poor We rage against the banks that push people from their homes And the lack of health care for unfathomable numbers

We object to economic racism and call for its end

It matters that as bodies we arrive together in public

As bodies we suffer we require food and shelter and as bodies we require one another in dependency and desire

So this is a politics of the public body the requirements of the body its movements and its voice

We would not be here if electoral politics were representing the will of the people

We sit and stand and move as the popular will the one that electoral politics has forgotten and abandoned but we are here time and again persisting enacting the phrase

We the People
