Hey Everyone!

 

This is a message from across the pond about a transatlantic comms

meeting taking place every Monday @

17:30GMT, 18:30 CET, 12:30EST

 

This call is open to all but may be of most interest and usefulness to 

media / tech / external comms individuals and groups from each occupation / assembly.

 

The meeting is being convened to connect the European and Occupy US

movements, and to discuss the global newswire project now being set up

by folks from Take the Square, Interoccupy and the People’s Assemblies

global platforms.

 

More info on the newswire project is here:

http://www.peoplesassemblies.org/newswire/ ) and full info on how to

attend the meeting, which will take place on the Mumble free global

conference platform is set out below.

 

Any questions don’t hesitate to email: info@interoccupy.org

 

The meeting will take place on the Mumble on Mondays and will start at 17:30GMT, 18:30 CET, 12:30EST.

 

If  you are new to Mumble we recommend you arrive 30 minutes earlier when someone will be on hand to help you through any technical difficulties. You will need a microphone and headphones to participate.
