Where Does Occupy Wall Street Go From Here? ...a proposal from Michael Moore
Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011
Friends,

Kaleen McNamara said… Hi Kathryn, Thanks for the message. Well I can't take much credit for this event - the BC Food Systems Network has been organizing an annual Gathering for 14 years now.

I could meet for coffee sometime nonetheless as clearly we are both very motivated on this issue.
Matthew Stuart said… Hey Kathryn,
My name is Matthew, and I am a member of the newly formed Village Burnaby. I hear through the grapevine that you have taken the leap and started a Village in North Vancouver. I am really excited to hear this, and I hope all is going well with the group.
I just wanted to touch base and offer to sit down and chat about ideas on building groups both in Burnaby and North Vancouver. No pressure I just thought it might help to bounce ideas / talk about common problems and issues.
You can contact me on village, or feel free to send me an email - mjfstuart@gmail.com

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
