For those who can/want to help Occupy groups, some facts:

[dixiegrrrrl]

Occupy Wall St. in NYC is sending 100 tents and $20,000 to Oakland to help with bail money.

Occupy Wall St in NYC sends what they can afford to other Occupy sites in times of trouble, like Oakland,
but cannot afford to do a lot.

The National Lawyer's Guild does NOT provide bail or medical funds to Occupiers.

Occupy Wall St in NYC will forward any donations that are earmarked to any of the other Occupy cities,
if anyone wants a central address to send donations.
( altho of course physical donations are best delivered to the closest site to the donor).

Here is info on donations:
edited to add: If you have donation addresses for other cities, pls. share them here.

Occupy Wall St web site with all information on how to donate, updated needs list:
http://www.nycga.net/how-to-help/

Updated information on what Occupy NYC is doing is available via their General Assembly minutes, at this web page:
http://www.nycga.net/category/assemblies/minutes-ga/
That same page has tabs for other information such as planned events, groups, proposals, etc.

If enough of us sent even 5.00 it would help a lot.

3. Hey -- Occupy Orlando can always use help!

We're not set up to take money donations (our legal team is working on this) - but our site has a list of requested needed items.

http://www.occupyorlando.org/donate/

if you have anything you'd like to donate via mail PM me for an addy. If you're in Central Florida, PM me and I'll arrange a pick-up.

Our next big event is Tuesday, November 1 when we welcome Awake The State for an afternoon/early evening of open forum and teach-ins.

Then on Saturday, November 5 we're holding another BIG march, "People Over Profit March" as part of Bank Transfer Day.
