Temperature Check: Do you want hosts for this forum?

13. I think there will be a lot more lively discussions and reports, as we had before the winter

when things start revving up again. I wrote a lot of OPs, starting on the first day, on DU2 but have been busy for the past few months. I have been trying to follow all of the cities though and have come across some really interesting developments, eg, a building given to Occupiers in one of the most devastated cities in the country right now. I have to check to see how that has been working out and will write about it when I do. It's interesting because they were moved from the park, but once given the building, which they were fixing up, an old, empty building, they had a place to keep doing what they had been doing. I'm really interested in what they are planning now and if they managed to fix the building. The local community wanted them to stay btw. Not every city has been antagonistic towards them.

I think for the future, Occupiers should approach the owners of abandoned buildings and see if they can get a semi-permanent place where the cops cannot throw them out of. Not to mention that they can still provide food for the hungry etc, as they were doing in Zuccoti Park.

Other interesting developments of a more practical and permanent nature, were eg, the SF Occupiers starting their own Credit Union. Have to check on how that is going also.

Lots has been happening over the winter and it I am certain lots more will be going on soon.
