Global 99 Event: Testify. Demystify. Electrify. Occupy!
Come join the CDF at an amazing event we are cohosting, TOMORROW!
Global 99 Community Open Mic: Testify, Demystify, Electrify, Occupy!
What is the potential for Occupy Wall Street to improve the health and lives of people not just here, but also GLOBALLY? What does our economic system and inequality have to do with health? Whether you’re an activist, not sure, or a critic of the protests, join the Critical Development Forum, Health Equity Circle, and the new Global 99 group for a COMMUNITY OPEN MIC & discussion TOMORROW (11/4)!
This is not your typical panel discussion – from stories of international students, to YOUR thoughts and stories via open mics, to rapper Jess McCall, this will be a learning, sharing, and electrifying experience. Join us! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=297675993594479
Whether you are from the 99%, the 1% or the 53%, we encourage everyone with a curiosity, story, or opinion to share on the Occupy movement to come join us at the event!
