Occupy Everywhere! On December 15, it will be two months since the start of Occupy London. Occupy London started by building communities in our capital city. Now it’s time to occupy everywhere. Occupy London is joining with occupations across the UK and Ireland and beyond, to call for a National Day of Action. Occupy everywhere, the workplaces, banks, universities and the streets.

Volunteer or bring your expertise - The Occupy movement exists thanks to all the volunteers that want a more just society, to talk about it and to begin to make it happen. It is people like you that can make that happen and grow. You can help either just by offering a few hours a week or engaging more actively by offering your expertise to a working group. Please use the forum to let us know how you would like to help or to find out what the occupations needs are. Or just come by the Information points at the occupations and ask there [http://www.occupylondon.info/viewforum.php?f=49&sid=3087f59bfa38903730c0e156b400d4e0]
Join a Working Group - Working groups are formed by people deciding that they want to meet to discuss or focus on specific issues. There are a large variety of working groups, some involved in debates, others in the outreach of the movement and others are specific to the logistics of the occupations. You are welcome to join working groups either by dropping in to one of their meetings, or following their activities on the online forum. [http://occupylsx.org/?page_id=1966]

It neatly describes the debate inside Occupy London Stock Exchange as to whether to defend itself from eviction in the High Court.
