Free Retreat this Weekend! (Friday-Sunday; 14-16 October 2011)

Emerging national strategy calls for state Occupation groups nationwide to occupy their capitols to begin dialogues with legislators. Occupation movements from each of the states will be responsible for initiating that process.

The Oregon Fellowship of Reconciliation chapter of FOR (OFOR) is opening the Annual Retreat this weekend with free registration Occupy Oregon participants from Portland, Salem, Eugene, Corvallis, Ashland and all Oregon Occupations to convene a work group to develop a statewide strategy for social change and proposals for their respective Occupation groups.

The theme is "Beyond Demonstrations and Action: Planning Nonviolent Strategy," with Tom Hastings, PSU faculty member and a specialist in nonviolent confrontation strategy, as the keynote.

Please see the "FLIER INFO" on the wiki page for items you need to bring, such as Food, Bedrolls, Transportation, etc.

The retreat is at Camp Adams in Molalla, OR, October 14, 5:00p.m. to October 16, noon. You are free to come and go as you need during that time. Please fill out the REGISTER FORM to let us know you are with us! No information on this form will ever be shared.
