Occupy National Gathering

June 30 to July 4

Philadelphia, PA

The Occupy National Gathering, implemented through a horizontal, democratic and transparent process and endorsed by almost 60 occupations across the country, will allow us to strategically plan for the coming year, work on a vision for the future, and most importantly build relationships and skills that will allow us to strengthen our ties as a movement!

*Listen to speakers such as Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi, Rosanne Bar, Rev. Billy and the Gospel Choir from the Church of Stop Shopping, Julie Matthaei, Captain Ray Lewis, Victoria Grant and the President of the NLG, among others.

*Bring your skills, talents and passions to share with the wider movement during open space for Occupiers, organizations and individuals. Trainings about sustainable organizing, strategic action development, anti-oppression, media, national coordiantion, affinity groups, tech tools and many more topics are already in the works!

*Join strategic conversations with those working on similar issues.

*Participate in Actions with occupiers and allies from across the country.

*On July 4th, participate in a process designed to collectively craft a vision for a democratic future with both those present and participating virtually.

*Join the Occupy Wall Street Guitarmy on a 99-mile march back to Wall Street to deliver our vision to the lion's den.

Have lots of fun!
