Occupy Madison Inc. is working hard to create OM House (housing cooperative) and is working on other projects like OM Works (worker cooperative) to create opportunities for housing and work for those who currently are struggling in this economy. We hope you can join us for our fundraiser tonight!
GOOD NEWS . . . BAD NEWS . . . GOOD NEWS
GOOD: With your help and all of those listed below, we have raised over $11,000 leading up to our Occu-PIE fundraiser which is tonight 5 – 7:30 at the Fountain Bar (122 State St.). We’re off to a great start!
BAD: Our offer to purchase the building at 2132 Fordem Ave. has been rejected in favor of an alternate offer. This is the second time we were seriously looking at a building that was then “taken off the market”. Additionally, we have gotten word that the folks camping at Token Creek have to be out of the campground on February 17th and they have no legal place to go.
GOOD: We’re not giving up! We’ve got some more buildings we are looking at and continuing the efforts to get people currently without homes into housing! Forward!
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?
1. Attend the fundraiser tonight, buy some pie and coffee, enjoy music by Combustible Trio, donate, converse, enjoy!
2. If you can’t attend tonight, donate on-line or send a check to Occupy Madison, Inc. at 30 N Hancock St., Madison WI 53703.
3. Let us use your name as a public supporter – sign up on line – or let me know and I will add your name.
4. Contact your elected officials and ask them to help us find a legal place to go on February 17th. (More info on this here and here.)
