Welcome, Mud! We love active occupiers (and puppies!) here at Occupy Cafe. Tell us--what are the conversations you're most excited to have with fellow Occupiers about the movement? With those who wish to support the movement? With "the rest of the world?"
You can share your thoughts here in the "Welcoming Inquiry" section of our Forum.
And if you haven't done so already, please register for our Cafe Calls the next two Mondays.
Cheers,
