* Black Recent Grads Hardest Hit by the Great Recession [link]* Report from Occupy Chico! [facebook.com/groups/OccupyChico]: 5 of us showed up. The same 5. We had consensus about giving up the loot donated to Occupy and that had been sitting. We are gifting the bulk to our out-growth, the Chico Housing Action Team for their critical work finding solutions to housing for our community members on the streets. We are giving some to the Chico Peace and Justice Center which has given Occupy so much support. A small chunk to 100th Monkey Cafe which was also an outgrowth of Occupy and still gives back to the community in ways that cont. to evolve. We also will donate a small amount to the National Occupy gathering in July. The plan is to have a film, maybe pot-luck and G.A. right after the National Occupy and see what energy is available then.
* Occupy National Gathering 2014 will be held July 31 - Aug. 3 in Sacramento, CA.
