Occupy Chicago needs housing for NATO protestors!
Those requesting housing are quickly out-numbering our volunteered host spaces. Smaller spaces and larger ones are both great. Help us host those who travel to stand in solidarity from all over the world!
If you can host or need housing email: occupychihousing@gmail.com or call 773-536-9634. Please include dates, number you can host/need housing,
phone, email, and name.

Occupy Chicago Stands in Solidarity with the People of Greece in saying NO to Austerity Measures.
Thursday, February 16
7pm - Meet-up at HQ (Jackson & LaSalle)
7:30pm - March to Greece’s Consulate (650 N St Clair St, Chicago)
8:00pm — Rally until 9pm
Greece’s fight is our fight, as they are rebelling against the same economic oppression we are stateside.
We will show Greece and simultaneously the US lawmakers and the 1%ers that we are aware of what is happening and that we support the same struggles of people across miles and countries. We will have a solidarity march & rally to demonstrate our dedication to the 99 percent’s struggle for a better world.
