Submitted by Poor Peoples Union on Thu, 03/08/2007 - 1:13pm.
All, The Poor People's Union needs everyone's help to keep up the momentum we gained from the downtown Camp Quixote action. We got a lot of people's attention and now it's time to push our platform further. There is a group meeting to begin planning for a Service Review Council, this group is made up primarily of service providers and other advocates, thus far, I am the only member of the PPU who has shown up. The future of services in our area depends on how this process is established, and I don't want to see it hijacked by bureaucrats. The voice of the people is needed. There is also much work to be done to assist Camp Quixote in finding a permanent piece of land. Camp Quixote is entering into the natural process of separating itself from the PPU and needs everyone's support and efforts to make this transition seamless. This could come in many different forms. Provide a meal for the camp once a week. If you have experience with consensus decision making, go give a training. Most importantly, stay connected with the campers, keep in touch with them. Emotional support is the most empowering kind. The PPU is also planning MayDay activities, and we want to get as many people together as possible and make MayDay as fun and safe as possible. If you would like to be a part of any of this planning, please contact me at 359.3293. Thank you, Rob Richards

Submitted by chad360 on Thu, 03/08/2007 - 1:27pm.anyways, how about a community land trust for these nomad? or maybe use the farmer's market during the off season? I personally think that near the park in town would be good, but lots cost so...
trying to find geography outside of the money system is hard--
The last time I was out I was going from national park to national park, just walking and trying to find work of food/or barter (this was in OR, CA, AZ). WA is kinda hard because of the weather-
Nothings solid as of yet,
