Visioning Session:
Proposed Questions: 1) What is general assembly? And 2) How do we relate to whats happening in Egypt? GA was excited to discuss the second question, hence, the first question was tabled for future.
 
Visioning Report Back:
Group 1

  • We have discussed the explicit and implicit we are complicit to the system that Egyptians are fighting against. More precisely, the political structure that US imposes on the rest of the world, we are one way or other part of it. We are 1% to the rest of the world.
  • We have discussed why we are faced to play this complicit role? – comfort of capitalism, a system of fear in place.
  • How are we contributing to the movement in Egypt? How can we move forward?
  • In Egypt, there Youth, mostly male are fighting on the ground. In our case, its a lot different, our youth are either locked up in jail or fighting war in Iraq.

Vote on days for General Assembly

Posted on by

On Sunday, Nov. 27, the Occupy Chapel Hill GA consensed to: “Cut the number of General Assemblies down to 3/week. Sunday + 2 other days to be determined by vote during Monday GA and via online survey for those who can’t make Monday’s GA.”
 
The survey is now closed. Thanks to all those who voted online and to those who made it to the Monday GA to discuss this. The dates selected were Tuesday and Thursday. So Occupy Chapel Hill General Assemblies will be held: Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday.
On non-GA days we hope have working group meetings, teach-ins, and other activities.
