making progress

When you do what you love, things fall into place.

I believe that, but sometimes they fall quickly enough to surprise you. I rededicated this blog just last week to gather opinion on what the movement's next step should be. Here at our local occupation (www.occupypoughkeepsie.org) we held a regional meeting last Saturday in an effort to bring all local interested parties in under the umbrella of OccupyHudsonValley (www.occupyhudsonvalley.org) to streamline things and generally make operations more efficient. Not a moment too soon, as OccupyPoughkeepsie was raided last night (early morning, Dec. 7th). But the mission remains; joining the full-time occupiers of OPK with groups of occupiers and supporters in the region. I feel this is an extremely important step in both spreading the word of the movement and getting actions done quicker by creating an Occupy network we can all utilize. The first meeting for my region took place last night, and where I thought there would be four of us, there were nearly twenty. Veterans and the curious alike were in attendance, and the meeting went on for over three hours. We educated people about GA procedures and consensus, and everyone exhibited excited anticipation for what's to come. We will approach this Thursday's conference call prepared and ready, and our growth is assured.
If you're taking part in a similar action, or have ideas or questions, feel free to email me at wulfgraphics@aim.com. I look forward to hearing from all of you.
