From David and Sara (re-posted)
Our idea is to maintain a continuous presence at the plaza starting at 12noon. This will provide a place to see friendly faces, to check
in on arrival, to hang out during the day & to regroup after
actions.
For those who have been unsure about how to engage with Occupy in
recent months, we aim to provide a way to plug in — by convening with
your friends !
I’d also like to suggest that we bring down poems to hand out — if each of us brought 50 or 100 copies of a poem that we think ought to be widely read, we could distribute thousands of poems to the many folks
who will be out on the streets of Oakland on May First.
More information on the strike can be found at :
In addition, promotional materials (posters & flyers) are available at the Brown Couch Cafe on 14th St., should you desire to distribute them.
Hope to see you all on the first !
