Occupy Toronto Market Exchange

Hey Tumblr, @bcbiv here. 

I am in need of some tumblr users who live in or around Toronto that want to work with me to spread the message of Occupy Toronto through the Tumblrverse. We’d be focusing mostly on visual media, announcing events and official announcements from the movement and some good writing about the movement. It isn’t a place for us to spout our personal beliefs, we have to be the voice of the movement, not our own. We keep the personal stuff to our own blogs. Who is in? We’d Be working on Occupy Toronto Market Exchange, and We Are The 99% In Canada.

Hey everyone! We have a very full schedule this week to offer all of you! We are holding a series of workshops to better prepare all of us! These workshops are designed to empower volunteers to have the ability to function as key members within the movement. We advise you try and make as many of these Workshops as you can!

Our Logistics committee has put together a table with our known needed resources. Please note that this will be constantly changing and we will work our best to update this list for you.

The following items are vital to the movement

Heat Generator 

Tarps

Hot Paws (We also recommend you bring your own supply)

Thermal Blankets

Sleeping Bags - Large to XL (If you are occupying bring your own, although extras in case of emergency will rule!)

Cardboard - We need a lot of cardboard to protect from the wet ground, as well for our signs.

Cold/Flu Medicine or Remedies - So we can help individuals who are uncomfortable

First Aid Kits - We cannot express how important these are! If you have anything, please assist us!

Mobile Wifi Adapter - A number of these are needed to help keep the livestream and media centre running! We won’t be able to show the world our solidarity without them!

If you are able to assist in the procurement of these or similar items, or if you have an idea for another item the movement will need, PLEASE contact occupyTOlogistics@gmail.com and we will arrange further details.

We love you, and we stand with you!

Occupy Toronto

Occupy Toronto needs the support of students around Toronto and Ontario to rally our movement. We are looking for volunteers to co-ordinate outreach action at their schools! We can supply you with promo material, or you can create some your own! If so please contact occupyTOstreetteam@gmail.com with the subject line STREETTEAM!
