[OccupyComms] Visions for Change

[Standing Stone]

Hey Occupiers,

"Visions for Change" events are all the rage in the Occupy and People's Assembly communities right now - both the Bath People's Assembly and Occupy Norwich are holding these events in the next week or so. 

The basic idea is to hold public events and invite all of the active groups (like Occupy, Greenpeace, Transition, residents associations etc.) in the area under one roof for a day to give talks and/or take part in discussions. This will firstly be an educational excercise, and secondly will enable different groups to network with each other and find ways in which they can work together on similar campaigns and projects. 

The Bath event is on 28th April (this Saturday) at the Friends' Meeting House, York Street (near the Abbey) and has a Facebook event page https://www.facebook.com/events/424624930886624/ and more info on the Bath People's Assembly website http://www.bathpeoplesassembly.org/#events

The Norwich event is on 1st May at the Playhouse meeting room, 42 – 58 St. George’s Street, Norwich, NR3 1AB - more info here: http://occupynorwich.org/main/?p=806

Occupy Bath will be at the Bath event and the BPA are in contact with Norwich - we'll be reporting back on how things go. In the meantime, if you think it's a good idea, start one up in your town/city! And come along to one of these events if you can!

Solidarity and good luck with all of your forthcoming events,

Standing Stone
