Hey Everyone!

This is a message from across the pond about a transatlantic comms

meeting taking place next Monday, 3/19 @ 1:30pm EST / 1730GMT !

This call is open to all but may be of most interest and usefulness to

media / tech / external comms individuals and groups from each
occupation / assembly.

The meeting is being convened to connect the European and Occupy US

movements, and to discuss the global newswire project now being set up

by folks from Take the Square, Interoccupy and the People's Assemblies

global platforms.


More info on the newswire project is here:

conference platform is set out below.

and will start at 1:30p EST, 5:30p GMT, 6:30p CET.
