Virtual Volunteers Needed!
Posted On May 3rd, 2012 by Ella
Have you been looking for a way to get involved in the movement but you don’t live near an organizing city or are unable to physically join a general assembly? Volunteering your time online is a great way to contribute to the movement. There are many different groups that need your virtual help for a vast range of tasks. Visit classifieds.occupy.net regularly to see where help is needed currently.
The Occupy Directory is one group currently in need of some volunteer support. They’re looking for content curators and Drupal developers. Content curators spend a few hours a week validating and improving the accuracy of the directory listings read about it here. Any experience level is welcome.
If you’re on the other side of the story and you’d like to connect with others out there to make things happen, post a listing on classifieds.occupy.net.
Let’s connect! Let’s coordinate! Let’s get it together!

Please forward volunteer info. Thanks so much!!!
Ivy, if you’re interested in volunteering with the directory you might want to email them directly at directory@occupy.net
You could also join one of their meetings:
Google+ hangouts happen on Tuesdays and Thursdays 7pm EST at https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/extras/assembli.es/fga. Meetings typically run 45m and consist of updates, setting priorities, and problem-solving.
They’ll be able to do a better job of letting you know exactly what this work entails.
If you want to respond to a classifieds ad to get more info about a listing, you’ll want to do that through classifieds.occupy.net
Occupy Together isn’t organizing these volunteer efforts, we’re just spreading the word!

I would like to volunteer in some way!
I will help in whatever way i can….
IF you all understood what it would actually take without declaring only, “that we are the 99%”, and got a focus on the necessity for unity then I would be in for joining back. When you are taking information through soros and the like it is sad to see such a great movement go towards socialism. YES we need change, major change, but we need to actually get a consensus of ALL the occupy people in order to piece together what the “people” want. Until you do to that I am out. You are basing your movement around small actions and separation between states and people. This movement will ONLY make a difference if there is UNITY across state lines and a COMPLETE common goal. Until you find out what that common goal is and let each person represent what “he/she” wants this movement to be about NOTHING but more suppression is going to come of it. It will just allow them an excuse to impose more police state type laws because of the movement vs actually getting something done. : (
Hey there Christopher; in the meantime while you are not participating in Occupy, I think it would be worth your time to find out about The Venus Project at http://www.thevenusproject.com (Documentary film available)
That project is currently going viral in several countries. What is intended is a Resource Based Economy. All the planet’s resources, are the common heritage of all the world’s people.
I posted a replay with more info. Didnt show up on the reply list. ??
Also, if you’re talking about Occupy Together’s blog we have a caching script that helps our blog run quicker but means there’s usually a couple minute delay in posts appearing. I think we’re going to be able to figure this out soon especially now that our blog is separate from the site. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi Brian here I just wanted to show my support and say if there is anything I can do at all I’d like to know how. My facebook page is Occupy within: A movement in awakening Check it out!
Bryan, where did you try to leave a reply? On the #OCCUPY TECH blog? We’ll make sure to alert them and try to connect you.

I have a poem, for what is going on.
Pshhh, we want to win!
I will tell you whats going on but if we want to winnnnn!
We must silently watch, No! don’t let them in! play, be smart, with your goal always in mind, don’t overdo it or you will loose. Play on your own, i don’t want to loose. When you fall get back up ring the silent revolution bell and help i think will definitely com.
But who is for and who is against i think we are many and many more will commence,
But until then stay put
Walk! in silence,
Talk! in distance,
Do! whats right,
FOR THE CAUSE!
totally independant, governmentalisciously watched, and ‘private’!
facebook: peaceful revolution.
stay clean! and i don’t mean drugs!:)
