This all sounds very valuable, and lots are doing great work to work for justice.
Just a question about occu-treasury? Anyone doing that? Cuz Mr. sub common dante went to ashland and mendocino on his own dimes? of course mendo was his ‘work’ but did he get a chance to pay back the o s c ”’loan”’ of hundreds of dollars (4 or 5?) last spring? of course he has to buy his cameras and stuff, an travel as the foto journalist he is, but when does that “loan” get paid by him to occupy? Please keep this transparent–there were hundreds of supporters donating from near and far, in person and in proxy for s.c. 11 and osc, and w this year ending and trials coming up, many supporters wanna know–an if u think u don’t need them, just see if u do not need there cash etier.
Is anyone planning to attend GA tomorrow (Dec. 23)? Just so we can plan ahead for New Year’s Eve.
I realize that holiday GAs have been lightly attended in the past. I myself “may not” show up today if the rain keeps pouring.
I wish everyone a peaceful and joyous holiday.
