I'd just like to address how thankful I am that everyone still has
such an energy and spirit for action, especially during these tense
days with our community in transition. The reason occupy has made such
a huge difference was our fearlessness in action - our camp was a two
month piece of street theater, for goodness sake! Lets keep people
guessing, and reconsidering who makes our world.
Also -- when is this meeting? I'm swimming through all these email
threads...eeep
with love and gratitude--
