Below is the invitation from comrade Jackie to organise online and
real world activities towards global convergence, around the
(inter)national gathering of Occupy in Kalamazoo US, in which there
will be held the third transnational online forum (on the 22st of
August). The report and minutes of the 2. transnational mumble forum
will be circulated very soon.

For those who would like to contribute in the preparation of the
convergence meeting around NatGat, there is a doodle pool to decide
the time of a preparatory meeting that will be held before the 22nd.
This is the link to the doodle pool:

NatGat and 22nd august forum would be great opportunity to work all
together, link our works towards to same direction. we can and need to
prepare and realise NatGat in August, Barcelona Hub meeting in
September, global 15O events and Blockupy 2014 preparation conference
in October, Agora 99 in November and other spaces of Global Revolution
all together and try to strengthen our ties to Syria, Egypt, Tunisia,
Turkey, Brazil, India and all other countries of the world on the
international road to dignity.

in solidarity,
Orsan

Hi everyone!

I am sending this to folks who are actively participating, or
expressed interest and willingness to help create and support the
Global convergence day in general, or some aspect of it, be it large
or small, participant, planner, translator,note taker, facilitator,
tech.  I'm sure to have missed people, so feel fee to forward.

We are sending out a doodle to set up a meeting or call to put
together the various aspects of the Global Convergence day, 22 Aug.,
and to form some online activities for the other days. So far, we will
be connecting with the Europie Fest, 23-25 August, and Reena Shadaan
from the International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal will be
presenting in Kalamazoo and online.

We will also be joining the 3rd transnational mumble from 2 PM ET/1800
GMT to 6 PM ET/2200 GMT, The 1st transnational meeting June 27 had 80
participants, and the 2nd on 21 July had 50-60. Shorter summary here.

Hoping to have reportbacks and skill shares at other times through out that day.
We also talked about having some very early morning meetings(ET) to
include both the Pacific people and Brasilians before or after work or
late at night.  Someone on the 2nd meeting, in the natgat discussion
suggested, if a larger solidarity event wasn't possible, to have small
meetings of just a few people hanging out, listening in, contributing,
reporting back from the ways of activism and collective networks in
their part of the world.

Of course this all takes some support people to be there if folks show
up.  and some outreach.  available time. so,

Please circulate the doodle in your networks, and the lists.

Hopefully we can have one call to get started this week and a final
call to match times with available support people and needs before
Aug. 22.

I set up a collective titan pad for the call with what I can think of
from my end.  Please add agenda items and suggestions.

Skype and mumble have been proposed.  If we would like to test how a
Maestro call through IO would go, there is a free online access link.
I call in with google voice, but I know there are strong objections to
using google.


Hope to see you there!

Jackie
