What can YOU do to help? Occupiers need help to keep the occupations going.
They need:
-FOOD: preferably HOT and nutritious. In the cold weather, the body burns more calories to keep warm. It is vitally important that the people standing up to represent us are FED!!!
-COLD WEATHER GEAR: Tents, Sleeping Bags, Blankets, Tarps,
-COLD WEATHER CLOTHING: Coats/Jackets, Sweaters, All weather clothing, Socks, Hats & Gloves & Scarves, Boots
-EQUIPMENT: Generators, Solar cels/panels, Various Electronics, Tables, Chairs, Large containers for Storage,
-MISC: Cardboard for signs and for ground insulation, Markers and Paint for signs, note books, pens & pencils,
How Can YOU support your local Occupation? Can you make a big pot of soup to take down to the Occupiers? Can you make/bake/cook something nutritious and take it to them? Can you deliver food/supplies from other families who are helping to the Occupation? Do you have camping gear that you can donate? Do you have some extra sweaters/coats/cold weather gear that you can donate?
Get your local businesses involved!!! Small businesses are being punished by the Canadian government/banks as much as families are. Can you contact some local businesses and ask for donations? Food? Clothing? Equipment?
Contact your local thrift stores- can they donate warm clothes?
THIS is how you can support your local Occupation!!!
Please share this post out, tweet about it, and link to this site- we need to gather together supporters to help our representatives stand up for OUR FAMILIES.

Those are great ideas! I was at our local Occupation in Halifax on Saturday but work commitments won't allow me to be there all day every day. I think I'll take your advice and round up some supplies for the folks downtown. Thanks!
