Subject: [democracy now] Occupy Local Communities

Greetings all, 

This is to notify you of a meeting scheduled for next Wednesday 25th from 4 - 5 p.m in Tent City University, entitled: 'Occupy Local Communities'. The purpose of the meeting is to continue the discussion about actions that Occupy London can take in the near future to join with local communities in the movement towards an equal, just and free society for all.
Ideas for actions that have been discussed in meetings and GA's include:  FLASH MOB OCCUPATIONS that would arrive in London neighbourhoods for set durations, and an 'OCCUPY LOCAL COMMUNITIES' LONDON WALK which could visit local communities in all 33 boroughs of London.  Clearly there is a lot of scope for ideas. 

See you on Wednesday, 

Simon 

Some info about London.

In July 2010 Greater London had an official population of 7,825,200, making it the most populous municipality in the European Union, and accounting for 12.5% of the UK population.

From London's Poverty Profile: 

The poorest 50% have less than 5% of financial or property wealth. The richest 10% have 40% of income wealth, 45% of property wealth and 65% of financial wealth.
Housing costs are a critical factor in explaining why London has the highest poverty rates of all England's regions.
 Taking account of housing costs, the poverty rate in London is 28%, 
compared to 22% in the rest of England, and the gap has grown in the 
last decade.220,000 households live in overcrowded accommodation, 60,000 more than a decade ago with most of this increase in the private rented sector.Housing benefit changes
 mean that many parts of Inner London, particularly the Inner West, may 
become unaffordable for low-income families renting privately. Outer 
London boroughs, where housing is cheaper, often have lower levels of 
public services per head: 8 of the 10 primary care trusts with the fewest GPs per population are in Outer London and 35% of Outer London primary schools are full or overcrowded, compared to 19% in Inner London.
