Weekly Challenge
Leaderless occupations are in progress on Wall Street, in Washington,
DC, and throughout the US, including in Virginia. A common theme of the occupations is
that systemic change is needed to stop corporate greed from controlling our lives.
Join the conversation about how to end the stranglehold that the insurance industry has
on health care in this country. You needn't prepare a speech, commit to standing at a
table, or stay indefinitely. Just talk and listen to the people you meet.
Not comfortable milling about? Medical personnel are needed at all of the occupations
to provide first aid, so consider volunteering your services and/or supplies.
