If everyone is going to Occupy Wallstreet together in solidarity,then forming a "Vision of Tomorrow" is the first step in co-ordinating the efforts for N.V.R..

Every long journey starts with one small first step.In the case of a strategic nonviolent struggle this step is the simple and precise answer to the question:

What does your movement want the society to be like when the struggle is over?

The answer to this question,known as the “Vision of Tomorrow”,provides a picture of the future society you are striving towards.Once formulated,the Vision of Tomorrow becomes your movement’s primary objective.It is a permanent guideline for your movement’s supporters.Your strategic nonviolent struggle becomes a journey towards achieving that vision.

To read more about the first step in forming N.V.R. check the source below for more information.

In strategic nonviolent conflict, a movement’s Vision of Tomorrow should attract the widest possible base of support.The more your vision becomes a shared vision in society,the more forceful it will become and it is possible that one day it will become true.Otherwise,your vision will only be a list of nice wishes shared by a few people.

Most people will struggle and sacrifice only for goals that are concrete and realistic enough to be reasonably attainable.Widely shared objectives create the potential for more widely distributed risks and reduce the likelihood that any single part of your movement will become a decisive target for your opponent.
