Mic Check! Occupy Boston Picnic/DayCamp

“Occupy Boston will be holding a weekly event at Dewey Square beginning Sunday August 15th at 1PM ET. These are ‘Potluck’ events, where organizations as well as people are encouraged to bring food, and volunteer to help facilitate the events. The intent is not only to feed the hungry, but to connect resources in the community to build support for those that live outdoors. This also gives us the opportunity to meet, connect and reconnect with people, activists and organizations in our community working for positive change, as well as breaking bread with old and new friends and comrades.

In 2011 in Dewey Square we fed over a thousand people a day at points. Our focus has, at the core, always been creating positive social change for the 99%. Everyone is invited! El pueblo unido, jamás será vencido! We are the 99%”
