Love in practice is a harsh and dreadful thing compared to love in dreams.
30 people gathered on Worcester Common today for a 3-hour “Occupy Worcester” rally. This was organized independently of tomorrow’s general assembly, also on the Common. What are the chances there are Occupy Worcester events this weekend I don’t even know about?
A Worcester foreclosure story from SA:
Weird economy hits home… yesterday the house where I’ve lived the past 3 years was auctioned off. 12 people showed up for the auction, including the Hampton properties guy who has bought up half the neighborhood in the past year and a half. In the end the bank took the house. I think all the residents will be ok, including the *awesome* former landlord who lived in the apartment upstairs, everyone has some kind of work. But shoo. Mega disruption and I’m sad my rent money won’t anymore be going to support a great community guy I cherish.
General assembly meeting for Occupy Worcester:
1:30pm, Sunday, October 9, Worcester Common (behind City Hall)
If you have ideas to share or want to plan Occupy Worcester’s next steps, please be there.
People are starting to talk in an organized way about what “Occupy Worcester” would look like and how to put it together.
No, there are no specifics, or even generalities so far.
(Yes, this occupation would be larger in scale than last week’s 508.)
