WHAT OCCUPATION PARTICIPANTS SHOULD TAKE

(as announced at 10/4/11 GA)

  • A messkit: bowl, mug, utensils for washing in sanitation stations)
  • Lots of water
  • Snack food
  • Sleeping bag
  • Tarps: one to put on the ground, one to put on top of you to keep dry your sleeping bag
  • Duct tape: to tape together the tarps
  • Permanent marker: to write National Lawyers Guild attorney phone number on your arm. This will be the person to contact for any potential arrests.
  • Bag to contain your own trash.


REGARDING OVERNIGHT TENTS

As announced at the 10/4/11 GA, in the City of Portland:

  • You have the right to sleep in a sleeping bag (NLG researched this).
  • You cannot set up shelter through a "structure."
"What constitutes a 'structure' has been identified as tents, canopy's, or anything that looks like it is a habitation. We are planning for pup-tents and tarps to shelter people from the rain at this point. We are collecting tarps and mylar blankets to create shelters and rain guards for sleeping areas. We are also collecting twine, bungee cords, duct tape and any other devices that could hold things together as shelters."
