INVITATION / CALL-OUT - OCCU-CONFERENCE
Please share widely

WHEN: June 1-3, 2012

WHERE: Ottawa

In the spirit of the Occupations that spread across the world in the fall of 2011 and continue even now, we call on you to join us! From Centennial Square to the Grand Parade
and all points in between, add your voices to ours on Parliament Hill. We are calling for a united people's assembly - larger, louder and more defiant! We do this in the spirit of
the On to Ottawa Trek, recognizing those before us who stood up and demanded a society governed in the interest of all, and not just for the benefit of the elite.

We will host a conference to hear and take action on our movement's many concerns. By coming together, we can learn from each other and develop strategies for the future.
Together we can hold teach-ins, workshops, seminars, rallies and actions to train ourselves, which will allow us to raise our grievances on a scale larger than ever before. We call
for speakers, poets, artists and musicians whose words echo our cause! In our reclamation of public space, we will occupy downtown Ottawa, which holds Parliament, the United
States Embassy, the Bank of Canada and many other institutional sites of oppression.

To hold and organize such an event will require as much participation as possible. We ask that if you or your local community are interested in helping us organize an
event, or plan and staff areas such as medical, info, safety, food, media, as well as many others, please send a message to occu-con@hotmail.com telling
us what you would like to help with and when you can come.

Sincerely,

The Occupy Ottawa Occupy Conference Working Group
