Quick update from occupyLSX tues 25th

anon@indymedia.org (meep) | 25.10.2011 16:55 | London

Quick updates:

The General Assembly last night agreed to ban alcohol (and as well any drugs) from the occupation site. An exciting artwork was donated yesterday, in the form of a giant monopoly board with the names of occupations around the world marked out upon it (see pic).

The Tech team gave a status updates, saying that they'd been dealing with health and safety - talking to the London Fire Brigade who were happy with the set up, as well as to the cathedral reps and external H&S who were also happy with the set up too. Power and internet will be restored soon when cages and lockers for the generators and fuel arrive later today. There was also a call out for volunteers with expertise in electics and lighting, especially if people could comit to a couple of days work.

The media / press team reported on a couple of unsavoury articles (Telegraph and Daily Mail) which also profiled individuals at the occupation including family background - they said for people to be aware journalists may not identify themselves as such, and that people didn't have to answer questions that made them uncomfortable. There's always someone from the media team around the Info tent, and if you want help nour suport for an interview just come and find us. The articles about thermal imaging cameras were simply not true since there were many people staying at the camp last night (and other nights). There's also press / media training at Occupy FS this evening at 8pm. The Media / press team will have a new tent set up very soon. The Occupied Times of London newspaper is due out very soon as well.

Outreach and publicity team continue to produce large amounts of the basic info flyer which has the occupation statement on it, and are also producing thousands of copies of a new leaflet for workers who work in the local area.

Events continue with the Daily Tent City University events and the Occupy Half Term schedule for under 18s (including the 2pm young person's forum, which ran yesterday and had good feedback). There's an outreach event with Trade Unions on Thursday, and on Saturday another Public Assembly similar to last weekends with speakers coming from different social justice movements as well as music and entertainment.

Generous donations continue to be made in terms of kit (see wishlists) as well as money. The General Assembly was this afternoon due to discuss a proposal to set up a co-op bank account to enable wider donations - this followed investigation into various alternatives including credit unions.
