    ===========================================


INTERNATIONAL NOTTIP TWITTER STORM

The 6th round of TTIP negotiations will be held in Brussels from the 14th to the 18th of July.

This is the time to make our voices heard. 
To expose what is trying to be kept secret. 
To force the main stream media to cover it. 
To inform people what threat it poses for our future and that of the planet.
To spread the call to action of the 11th of October.
To inspire citizens to fight back.


Let’s show how many of us want this agreement to stop now. 

Join the international twitter storm…and make your voice heard!

How does it work?

Wednesday the 16th we will start tweeting all together with the same # at the same time (9am UTC/GMT, 10am UK, 11am Central Europe, 12pm Eastern Europe*)

*time converter: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html

If we are enough, we might trend, if not, we will still reach many people!

What #? What shall I tweet?

Just before the agreed time we will update the link below with the common # and suggested tweets. 
https://actionttip.titanpad.com/3
Do copy and paste them as much as you like, they are for everyone to use!

But of course, do improvise during the storm. The more tweets the better, as long as we all use the same #.

What can we do to make the # trend?

DO invite as many people as possible to participate.
DO start on time, not to early, not to late.
DO use the same suggested #
DON’T retweet - that won’t make it trend. 
DO copy&paste...steal the tweets!

  • Occupy National Gathering Press Briefing Call, July 31

    from Liz on Jul 30, 2014 01:58 PM 
    Hello,

I would like to invite you to attend the Occupy National Gathering (NatGat) National Press Call on July 31, 3-4pm EST (noon-1 PST).  The idea is to connect journalists with activists, who are doing interesting actions all across the world.  The call will open with everyone having 1 minute to introduce themselves.  Each activist will then have up to 5 minutes to detail their activism and organization.  After all the activists have reported, we solicit questions from  journalists for any of the activists, with each activist to give a short reply and providing contact information for any follow-up conversations.  

Last year's call from NatGat2 in Kalamazoo, MI had reports from activists all over the United States.  The NatGat is being held this year in Sacramento, CA from July 31 - Aug 3.

More information about the call, including information on how to register, is below from Dean Edwards, the call's producer.  I also have included international call numbers below.  I can provide Mumble connection information for the call as well - just email me. 
I hope that you will join us!

Peace,

Liz Myers
