[OccupyComms] European council comes to Brighton.

[OccupyBrighton-Info]

http://occupybrighton.co.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=11

We have set up a space at the Occupy Brighton Forum for organising, 
discussing and highlighting the issues around the European Conference 
later this month in Brighton.

If anyone is coming down and wants to meet up, organise an event or find 
good locations to stay please feel free to use this forum as a point of 
contact.

The plan our end seems to be to try and help out as much as possible by 
pulling together resources,  putting together groups with similar 
interests and help maximize the impact and publicity of any events.

Unless there is already one, we plan to turn over the website to 
resource center for the week of the conference and together with the 
forum provide a nice space with useful info for everyone from the 
public, to the media to the protestors.

So help us spread the word, but even more we want to hear from any 
'experts' on the issues, audio/video/text interviews and the like and 
put them together so we can have some articles giving informed 
explanations of what they are up to and what needs changing.

Thanks for you time, hope you are all well and hope some of you can make 
it down to Brighton to meet and greet our leaders from around Europe.



If you have not heard yet the conference is from the 18th-20th April, 
probably with some sort of statement on the 20th. This will mean the 
last days to put pressure on them to change anything and when the most 
media attention will be on it, will be the 18th-19th. Which are a Wed/Thurs.
