On May 26th occupiers from the Occupy Homes and Foreclosure Actions Committee will be creating a memorial site at the 99 E Broadway Wells Fargo in memory of Norman Rousseau. Norman lived in California and on May 13th, took his life two days before Wells Fargo took his home.
The Rousseau’s story is tragic and unfortunately not an isolated case.
The site is dedicated towards remembering one of many victims of the criminal foreclosure crisis, and help Oriane Rousseau ensure that “no other family has to endure what she’s been through.”
The site will be setup at 9:30am and the goal is to keep it at Wells Fargo for as long as possible. If you feel inclined, visit to pay your respects, leave some flowers, or anything else appropriate.
Rebuilding Community one Friday at a time. Art vendors welcome.
Where: Kesey Square, Willamette & Broadway, Eugene
When: Fridays, noon-ish to dark-ish
Join us to increase your capacity to communicate effectively.
On Wednesday nights through June 20, from 6:30 – 8:30, with a social hour to follow, Occupy Eugene presents three communication sessions at OE V.
Each week we will cover a different aspect of how we can communicate better as individuals and as a group. Attendance at each session will be beneficial but if you can’t make them all, come when you can.
The Winnemam Wintu have called for people to join them in solidarity as they engage in direct action against the Forest Service on the McCloud River near Mt. Shasta, CA. CLDC is taking an active role in assisting the tribe and invites Occupy Eugene to join them. The War Dance starts on Thursday, May 24th and will go until about the 28th. Peacekeepers, legal observers and copwatchers are needed. In Eugene, there will be a van leaving Wednesday night and coming back Sunday night. To reserve a seat, contact eugenejim@gmail.com for more info regarding transportation and cost sharing.
Because this is a sacred ceremony, the tribal tradition is to feed everyone. Feel free to bring food to donate to the tribe’s kitchen if you’d like. They would also be grateful for any financial donations for the costs of port o pots, campgrounds, etc. Sacred Ceremonies are traditionally drug and alcohol-free events.
Included below is a short article that one of the tribal members wrote for our local Occupy newsletter. It includes links to the websites that will give you more details. We will be attempting to block the McCloud river so that boats cannot pass into the ceremonial area. Bring any canoes, rafts, kayaks, or floatables you may have (water will be cold).
Also bring camping gear, chair, mess kit, water bottle, warm and cold weather clothing. Carpool if possible. There will not be cell service at this location.
Lauren Regan, of CLDC says, “I really hope to see you all there for what I believe will be an incredible experience and will an important step toward real solidarity amongst movements.”
Peace.
Occupy Eugene’s Foreclosures Action Committee will host a workshop by Tim Moxley, Friday, June 22, 7-9 p.m., in EWEB’s Community Room, 500 E. 4th, Eugene. This event is free and open to the public.
Many foreclosures currently underway are illegal under Oregon law. This workshop will train you to examine county records to determine whether or not a foreclosure is legal. This skill will empower you to stand up to the banks.
This press release is from the Communications Committee of Occupy Eugene that has been empowered to speak on behalf of the larger Occupy Eugene body.
View the calendar entry here, along with a link to the Facebook event invite page.
Silent meditation/prayer circle open to everyone to bring their practice to share. We will gather and set-up 15 minutes before the start time. A bell will be rung at 15 minute intervals to signify an opportunity to enter or exit the space without disturbing others. Please bring your chair/cushion/floor mat and warm clothing and join us as we cultivate the loving kindness we all so desperately need.
