Hey y'all.
just got in touch with Spontaneous Celebrations in JP regarding an
Occupy New Years Eve Party. They said it's available, but they're not sure
if anyone is willing to work that night. There was some interest in a
previous thread so I thought I'd let y'all know. Probably towards the end
of the community Forum I'll bring it up. I strongly believe we should do
something for new years, if not a party then an action. I think there's
been talk about both.
Thanks!
Ben
