*WHO SHOULD JOIN:* Those interested in attending and
learning how to support the Occupy Solidarity Social Forum in Olympia on
February 18-19. Those that want to put on workshops or organize panels and
discussions at the conference.
*PURPOSE:* To welcome more people and share information
about the national conference in Olympia. We would also like to discuss the
logistics of getting to the events and the workshops that will be held. (See
agenda below.)
*Occupy Solidarity Social Forum*
Occupy Olympia (WA) and the Alliance for Global Justice
are hosting an Occupy Solidarity Social Forum Feb. 18-19 in the Washington state
capital city. The self-organized, social forum-type gathering is open to all
occupiers and allies.
The networking meeting is being called in recognition
that the movement will gain strength if we help open space for sharing,
discussion and development. It is also agreed that the sooner we create that
space the better for the movement and that a quick first effort will champion
strong gains and garner authentic self organization. Together, Occupy Olympia
and the Alliance for Global Justice will create the space for a wide diversity
of occupy movement members to bring their knowledge and skills to the table to
share in authentic ways with each other for the goal of growing the strength of
the movement. We hope to see you there!

All Aboard the Occupy Express!
In order to transport activists all along the West Coast
to the first national gathering of the Occupy Movement, the first cluster of
train seats have been purchased for the "Occupy Express". Group Amtrak tickets
have been purchased from Los Angeles to arrive in Olympia, WA for the Occupy
Solidarity Social Forum, February 18-19, 2012.
Occupy Olympia and the Alliance for Global Justice
(fiscal sponsor of a number of Occupies, including Wall Street and Washington,
DC) are hosting this self-organized networking meeting for the Occupy Movement.
The "Occupy Express" will leave Los Angeles on February
16 and arrive in Olympia for on the evening of Feb. 17. It will depart Olympia
on February 20 and arrive in Los Angeles on the 21st. The "Occupy Express" will
be aboard Amtrak's historic and scenic Coast Starlight route up the entire
Pacific Coast. We will pick up Occupiers all along the route. In the spirit of
Occupy, participants will be occupying even while traveling!
The self-organized, social forum-style gathering is open
to all occupiers and allies. Occupy Olympia agreed by consensus at General
Assembly to host a self-organized gathering of the Occupy Wall Street Movement
to network, build unity, share tactics, workshop strategies, discuss diversity
and discuss how to develop action plans. Occupiers from Occupy Wall Street,
Occupy Oakland, Occupy Washington, DC, Occupy Tucson, and Occupy Terra Haute
(IN) were among the first registrants for the event.
The networking meeting is being called in recognition
that the movement will gain strength if we help open space for sharing,
discussion and development. It is also agreed that the sooner we create that
space the better for the movement and that a quick first effort will champion
strong gains and garner authentic self organization. Together, Occupy Olympia
and the Alliance for Global Justice will create the space for a wide diversity
of occupy movement members to bring their knowledge and skills to the table to
share in authentic ways with each other for the goal of growing the strength of
the movement. Register for the social forum and propose workshops here. [
