Hey Occupiers,
Occupy Bath really, really needs help. A lot of people are getting burnt out and we are really struggling to keep numbers up. We are determined to keep going until the strikes on the 30th, with the strong possibility of disbanding soon after. Even then, many in the camp are worrying that we won't be able to keep going until the 30th. If anyone at all can come down for the next week or so - even for a day/night or even just a few hours, it would really help matters. I appreciate that other camps may well have similar problems and I wouldn't expect them to spare members, but would be very grateful if the larger camps could spare a few people just to see us through until the 30th.
It will not be end of Occupy Bath if the camp goes, we are planning other activities for the future. Also, it would be much appreciated if the press are not informed of this, as we want them to focus on our big announcement after the strikes, rather than us packing up and going.
(I am not speaking on behalf of the camp, but this is something that many of the key members are concerned about)
Many thanks for ANY support we can get.
Much love,
Standing Stone

> Hi Occupiers,
>
> Occupy Bath have issued the following press release:
> "Occupy
> Bath will make an important announcement at the Queen's Square camp at
> 4.30pm on Wednesday 30th November, following the trade union march in
> Bath. We support the march and some of the camp will join in solidarity
> with the marchers. We invite the trade union members and all other
> members of the public to come to the camp for the announcement.
> Following the announcement we will have speakers and we want to explore common ground with the marchers on the issues that are affecting us all.
>
>
> Last weekend, delegates from Occupy Bath attended the UK and Ireland
> Occupy Conference in London, meeting with delegates from over 20 other
> occupations, sharing ideas and inspiration. The Occupy Movement in the
> UK and Ireland is now well-connected and organised."The big announcement is currently under discussion, but will involve a plan to reach out to the wider Bath society, particularly those that don't want to go near the camp for whatever reason, but are still part of the 99%. More details to follow...
>
> Also, it was great to meet many of you last weekend in London, and best of luck with your own occupations!

> But the revolutionaries keep coming. Hundreds of thousands are in Tahrir

> Foreign governments are paying lip-service to ?human rights? while they
