Sunday Night at @UStream: #NatGat3 Recap: #Occupy’s 3rd National Gathering « @InterOcc

…another late Sunday Matinee but I'm keeping the tag for filing purposes. This comes from the InterOccupy newsletter, online following and subscribing information below. The collective weight of Gaza (dominating higher education discourse via the "Salaita Affair," drawing HE's academic and tenure discussions into the public sphere ~ when silos collide), the child refugees of the "border crisis," and now #Ferguson, make both light hearted  film and adjunct polemic seem equally inappropriate. Although we are all waste by-products of globalization., these marginalized are far more disposable and at risk than we are. 

PS please note the prescient emphasis on policing and police terror, as well as Palestine, voice and voicelessness...

Together We Rose!  Occupy's Third National Gathering

July 31-August 3 in Sacramento -- just ahead of COCAL XI in NYC, the Occupy movement came together for reflection, learning, planning, sharing—and yes, marching!  Despite drought and heat of 100°+, Occupiers from up and down the West Coast, as well as other areas of the country (and a few from elsewhere on the globe) shared 5 days of activism and discussion.

Watch the General Assemblies and more on these stream channels:

Petitions, Legislation, @NatGat2014, all the COCALs & Mike Rose's blog

Just a reminder about the petition page on Uniting in Diversity for Equity. There is also a resources page for helping child refugees. It's time to add a Projects page to the pages menu update list. 

Legislation: (woot woot) ICYMI Sen Durbin (IL) introduces S.2712 to amend section 455(m) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 in order to allow adjunct faculty members to qualify for public service loan forgiveness

In the Sacto area? It's National Gathering 2014 time. Contact: natgat2014@interoccupy.net. Info at NATGAT2014 Hub. Follow @NATGAT2014 #Natgat2014. See ONG Rebelmouse and the Occupy National Gathering Facebook Page. 

Bonus: looking for a natgat image, I found Wave of Action: "Be the Change! Join the #WaveOfAction organizing network to collaborate & co-create with change-makers worldwide." 

…the COCALs are coming…the COCALs are coming…COCAL XI (August 4-6, John Jay College/CUNY) and #altCOCAL (Wednesday August 6, Graduate Center/CUNY) that is…both in NYC

Mike Rose's Blog is our latest blogroll addition so you can follow right here on this blog. Here's more about Mike Rose and his blog ICYMI or never taught basic writing:

#Occupy @NatGat2014…gather again, July31 in Sacramento

…follow #NatGat2014 online via Twitter and several livestreaming channels, InterOccupy updates and on the NatGat2014 Hub. Now I wonder if  COCAL International's Steering Committee is aware of InterOccupy (or, if aware, would have availed themselves),
