-also we should start to network with other groups more or getting creative with our distribution methods (ex. stuffing flyers in free newspapers)
-we should try to flyer more often and doing it in a group, some people may feel more comfortable. Let’s all try to accommodate everyone’s comfort level.
-tap into the connections we have already (such as the stores featured in Amass magazine)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OCCUPY LONG BEACH TO HOST FORECLOSURE WORKSHOP

HOME DEFENSE EMPOWERMENT WORKSHOP
A Collaboration of ACCE, An Experienced Real Estate Agent, and Occupy Long Beach

When: February 18th from 3-6pm
Where: First Congregational Church in Long Beach at 241 Cedar Avenue Long Beach, CA 90802

“It is time for us to stand together as a community and proclaim ‘Enough is enough’, much in the way that was done during the Great Depression” said Occupy Long Beach Actions Committee member, Ben Fisher. More than two million California homeowners owed more on their homes than they were worth last year according to Santa Ana-based research firm, Core Logic. A quick foreclosure search on Foreclosure.com will yield almost 2000 foreclosures in Long Beach alone.

‘Bitter Seeds’ leads a call to action against GMOs
By Blair Madole

In the fairytale Jack and the Beanstalk, Jack sells everything he owns — one cow — for a handful of magic beans. It works out for Jack. He takes on the Giant, wins, and returns home to a happy mother (though she may not send him to market again responsible for the sale of their only livestock).

beachcleanup

Occupy Long Beach will be hosting a beach clean up on the 3rd Sunday of every month. We’ll be meeting at the Junipero Beach parking lot, near the lifeguard station.

Collection bags and gloves are provided by California Coastal Commission through Parks and Recreation and Marine Department of the City of Long Beach. Call (562)570-4876 for more information about the City’s Adopt-A-Beach program.

There will be a limited number of parking passes available. (Get there early if you need one!) So walk or ride your bike if you can or park up on Ocean and walk down.
