Hey y'all,

If you haven't been down to Occupy Cville, or haven't spent much time there, I want to put out an invitation/request for you to come down and spend some more time there. 

I think there's something really beautiful and transformative happening here.  It's rough and confused and frustrating at times, and it's also touching and inspiring seeing people engaging with each other and the world in a whole new way.  When you consider that most of the people there have little to no experience with this kind of group process or organizing it's really amazing what's been accomplished.

The group is finishing it's 2nd week in the park, and while things are going well in many ways energy is also flagging.  There's a need for more energy, people just hanging out, helping keep the place tidy and organized, and engaging in the kind of dialogue that will help keep this moving forward. 

There's definitely a need for more campers as well.  One of the dynamics the group has been facing is that many of the people attending the General Assemblies are not camping, and many of the people camping are not attending the General Assemblies.  We need more people in there bridging the gap.

If you want more specific suggestions about how to plug in, or if  you want more info on what's going on let me know.  You can also keep your eye on the facebook page (just search Occupy Charlottesville) or occupycville.org.

thx.
Sky
