Beyond Occupy: What's Next?
"Guelph community activists Kevin Sutton and James Gordon are
hosting a meeting Friday Nov 18 at 7 p.m. at 10 Carden Street in Guelph
called "Beyond Occupy"--- "What's Next"...
The meeting was
called after both had been hearing from many different sectors in the
community that the "Occupy Movement" world-wide was attracting
wide-spread interest in this city. At the same time, it was felt that
the group who had been "Occupying" St. George's Square, for a number of
reasons, did not represent a complete cross-section of the '99%'
referred to in Occupy statements.
Drawing on the attention
that this group brought to the movement, Sutton and Gordon are hoping
that these 'occupiers' will be represented at the meeting as well as
community members from a great diversity of our citizenry. "How can we
nurture this new catalyst for change in our community?" is a question
that will be posed to the group.
The two will begin the
evening with an overview of the "Occupy" movement, then offer all in
attendance a chance to speak to their concerns and insights. The
participants will break into work groups to determine what actions and
organization might stem from the meeting.
Admission is free, though donations will be accepted to help pay for the rental of the room.
