Summer Solstice.
Occupation Day 18
Happy Solstice! I must say dinner with friends at an occupation site is a first for me in terms of celebrating the Solstice. It seemed quite fitting.
Weather permitting and pending arrival of exterior paint we will finish painting signs tomorrow (Wednesday).
Thought I’d share tonight’s Save Our State College Water Supply Facebook post:
“Tonight we again discussed how the Toll Brothers said they would come to the table and Penn State remains silent. We are……waiting at the community table. Please join us PSU. We know you can do it. Just believe. Think of what opportunity lies here. Let’s repair the damage done by evolving into the institution SO MANY PEOPLE know we can be. The occupation is full of alums. We are….setting the table for you.”
We need some occupier training materials! Does anyone have a list of talking points started? Please send them to me (Laura).
Thanks to Kim for recruiting some heavy hitters.
Thanks to the fact sheet team for moving that along. We may see the revised edition on site tomorrow!!
Thanks to the CDT ad team. It’s progressing.
Thanks to everyone. You are making it all happen.
In solidarity,
Laura
