Thursday, 3 November 2pm-7pm – Mary Ann Park Ultimo (behind UTS)
* Creative Banner Making working group – Thursday, 3 November from 2pm-7pm, Mary Ann Park, Ultimo (Where the GA was held last Sunday being UTS) . The group will be making banners and signs for Saturday’s rally. The main focus on this gathering is to discuss and create signs using creativity and humour. BYO any crafty bits for signs, paints and markers, and some cardboard , a sense of humour (every kind from aussie slang to child’s-speak) and lets all get to know each other better!
*new location*
The location of the banner working group has been moved to Martin place to be close by other creative projects that need completion for nov 5th.
On Bob’s behalf I tried to add a regular volunteer event to the calendar, as below, but WordPress wouldn’t let me. Can someone please add the item, or broaden permissions so we can all add our events?
Regular discussion/workgroup
IS GLOBAL DEPRESSION INEVITABLE?
Every day at 4 pm in Martin Place. Contact Bob.
Thanks Bern. I’ve added Occupy the Love every day at 7am, 2pm and 9pm, for half an hour each time. Reply to this comment if anything should be changed.
Hi Ramy,
Occupy the love is my commitment and contribution to Occupy Sydney movement. At the moment I am focused on meditating to bring the love back into the streets. Other ideas have been to hold free hug events, Yoga/ Laughter, Acts of Kindness, Candlelight Vigils and Flowers for the Powers.
best way to find out is to go and speak to the person doing the action. Her name is Bern. its a form of meditation, at Martin place, which is also a war memorial, very fitting.
just an update re General Assemblies – at last night’s GA, it was decided by consensus vote that General Assemblies will be held three nights a week, Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at Martin Place at 6:30pm
I feel that another rally is needed, Australian’s are still ignorant of this movement’s reason as they have not found cause to be as fed-up and motivated, they are, to quote Mike Ruppert ‘Zombies’ and need to be awoken. Also many uni students are still doing exams and hence have been largely unable to attend previous rally’s. Please organize another rally for later this month or early next month as they have been quite successful and so people see that we are determined in our efforts.
[...] Sydney activists were stopped from handing out leaflets at the festival. The leaflets advertised upcoming events, including a “free school” and an “anti-corporate greed tour” on November [...]

hi sorry just some clarification on what occupy the love is?
best way to find out is to go and speak to the person doing the action. Her name is Bern. its a form of meditation, at Martin place, which is also a war memorial, very fitting.
Bern, happy to speak to you about organisaing a yoga session, I am a teacher and also teach various meditation techniques.
hey vicki hope to catch up with you at martin place.
just an update re General Assemblies – at last night’s GA, it was decided by consensus vote that General Assemblies will be held three nights a week, Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at Martin Place at 6:30pm
