I Promised Myself I Would Never Do This, But... Mid-Atlantic Occupy Supporters Wanted [View all]

I don't usually like to give out details about projects IRL,
given that this is a political blog and all, so it's like posting an e-mail address, but...

There's a community project in the Mid-Atlantic that could benefit from Occupy supporters here on DU.

If you're a Mid-Atlantic Occupy Supporter, PM me for details and I can put you in touch with the folks
that are looking for help.

Perhaps those folks could even do a meetup in support of efforts like this one that
Occupy DUers are involved in. (or just as an excuse for Occu-DUers to meet up??)

Again, for more info just PM me if you're from that area.

I'm still interested in the hosting guidelines for Occupy DU that EllisonZ asked me to work on, BTW. I have the
drafts bookmarked. It's just that stuff like this has taken precedence and the inability to find people IRL has kind
of sapped my enthusiasm for interacting with online friends and occu~ supporters as it's hard to put out appeals
for local assistance. The overall struggles Occupy has had with declining participation this spring couldn't have
come at a worse time for projects like the one in question.

So, yeah... if you're in the area (or have another local Occupy project you want folks to know about) please PM
or post here.

[font color="purple"]Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say Occupy at will to old ladies on the Internet. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design gala dresses are under considerable economic stress in this period in history.[/font]
