In light of this weekend’s eviction and arrests at Occupy Worcester [video], the Occupy Providence General Assembly approved this statement on Sunday, November 6th:
Occupy Providence stands in solidarity with Occupy Worcester. We demand that all charges against Worcester occupiers be dropped and that the city allow Occupy Worcester to remain in the Worcester Common.
The general assembly voted to alter our format and schedule of future GAs. Here’s the new plan!
Here's the new GA plan in weekly-calendar format.
New General Assembly Schedule
General Assemblies on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday won’t accept proposals and will instead make room for working groups to meet. GAs on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday will remain in the normal format, accepting proposals from working groups and individuals.
Remember, everyone is welcome at every GA, regardless of how much you’ve been involved in the past weeks — but please read + respect our community guidelines on process and safe space HERE.
A note from an Occupier, Monday November 7th:
Monday morning starts off with a bang! Mr. Sheldon Whitehouse visited by Occupy Providence to show support for our movement! He stated the park looks better than it ever has and members of Occupy Providence encouraged him to continue to fight for the Constitutional Amendment he recently introduced to correct the unjust supreme court ruling (Citizens United vs. F.E.C.) which allows unlimited corporate campaign donations.
