No, we don’t have a camp. What we have is a small group of people who are dedicated to meeting each week, discovering the character of our community and how we can use the Occupation movement to serve our neighbors’ interests.
This Thursday will be the fourth General Assembly we’ve held. I’ve been writing about my personal story in the Occupation and covering the initial meetings of this new GA for a local blog, BushwickDaily.com. It started with four strangers on a website and now we’re up to 12-20 regulars two meetings later. Each week a different member starts off the meeting with a teach-in or skill-share on a subject they are comfortable leading discussions on.
Anyway, I’ll try to cross post here more with local reports as I love the coverage FDL is doing on other towns. Occupy Town Square in Tompkins Square will be going on this Sunday, be sure to spread the word! I’ll be trying to attend the Musician’s Solidarity Council GA as well as popping by Parents for Occupy Wall St.

Hi from one Bushwickian to another. I was born at 1223 Jefferson Ave. but haven’t lived there for many, many years. Good luck with your occupy, and give my regards to Prospect Park.
Thanks for posting this here! We’re practically neighbors and I’m going to try my best to come to one of your GA’s and hear what’s going on. So excited to see folks are organizing in Bushwick, the community definitely needs you.
