hey guys… can we put on here the two community events coming up for this week… i know we are all busy and are getting run down by the lack of volunteers… but if we could put up the ones discussed last night at GA, that would be awesome!
Sure! send them to me or through the group feed.
Am glad to see Las Cruces Occupying… have the other cities in NM worked together (through Occupy NM or some other venue) to coordinate events at all? I know some of the cities have lower numbers (I’m thinking of Occupy Roswell, for instance, and at times Occupy Albuquerque) and I’m wondering if there could be some sort of travel between cities to do shared protests and teach ins?
Great idea Kate. I have networked a little with Santa Fe. I visited their camp this weekend and talked to them about upcoming events and operating together more cohesively as a state. For now we are getting the organizational framework down but in the future I think we will make statewide coordination a very big thing.
