Local support group set up to support Occupy Providence

Asks Charlestown and Richmond folks to help
By Judi Howell



We now have a working group called South County Occupy Providence Enthusiasts - SCOPE - until someone comes up with a better one - we are going with the leaderless, but all hands on deck organizational model.







We'll physically meet here in Charlestown,  initially at my home on  he Richmond/Charlestown line and will be the collection point for any goods/needs donations and will take them up to Occupy.   Donations of  dollars should be directed to  http://www.occupyprovidence.com/ - follow the Donate tab.


We will be making weatherproof signs next week for them to use around the perimeter of the park and, just for fun and yum, the next week, we'll be making (or donating) homemade harvest OccuPies to take up.  


Since I'm sure we'll be talking talk while we work - we may solve a problem or two while we do.


Anyone who would like to participate or donate can email Judi Howell at judith.howell@cox.net.
