Occupy Help Desk - Where to bring wishlist items
The best way to support the occupation is to come down and take part. Even if its not overnight, come down and introduce yourself. This is a people powered movement, you have the power, come down to St Andrews Square and use it. EVERYBODY is welcome!
If you can’t make it down to the square then you can email the different working groups to get involved remotely. Alternatively, simply email occupyedinburghmedia@gmail.com to get email updates and information on future events, actions etc.
With the winter coming up we also desperately need help in preparing the camp for the Scottish weather. If you can come down to lend a hand weatherproofing the tents and marquee that would be fantastic – contact a member of the Infrastructure working group for more information.
We could also do with donations of a number of items (the URGENT items have ‘!!’ after them). If you can donate any of these items then please simply bring them down and give them to one of the Love Police (hi-vis jackets)
