Social Action

 

SUUC’s Justice Group invites you to Occupy This Moment! It takes a village to turn a moment into a movement. We invite you to join us on Saturday, December 10, 2011, 12 to 4 p.m. at the University Christian Church, 4731 15th Avenue Northeast, Seattle on the corner of 15th Avenue NE and 50th Street NE. Occupy Wall Street is the best hope in years that “We the People” will take on the critical challenges of our time. However, many of us don’t understand the new terminology (People’s Mic, General Assembly, Working Groups, Direct Actions, etc.), what resources are available, and how to get involved. We invite you to join with us to strengthen our understanding of the core principles and new practices of deep democracy while we create spaces for communities to engage in collective action. Let’s gather to offer everyone a chance to make change, linking the local to the global to create a more equitable and just future for everyone. We are reclaiming our power; come join with us. Is this what deep democracy looks like? This event is being hosted by an unsanctioned, leaderless group of citizens interested in building a bridge from this moment to a powerful movement for change. They represent a growing list of organizations including the Cascadia Center, Center for Ethical Leadership, Compassionate Action Network, ForTheGrandchildren...and many others. There is a suggested $5 fee to cover the cost of refreshments and space, but no one will be turned away and all are welcome. Please come and tell your friends. Carpools and group bus rides are being formed. Call Julie Houff, Bob Moore, or Frog Uding for more information.
