About the occupy movement
A pamphlet for a London teach-in
Reading over the pamphlet during the teach-in assembly
This pamphlet was made for a "Teach-in on the occupy movement" event at the University of Western Ontario on Tuesday, November 22nd
The headings in this publication are -
- Why the Occupy Movement is important here at UWO: What you should know about UWO’s Student Code of Conduct
- Why the Occupy Movement is important in all Canadian universities
- Why the Occupy Movement is important here in Canada
- Why the Occupy Movement is important here in London
We discussed the pamphlet during a teach-in assembly, where we read over the pamphlet using the people's mic, in the atrium for the campus "Community Centre"
Note: The tower on the cover of the pamphlet is similar to the logo for the university. The tower is on one of the older buildings at the campus.

Collective efforts
Please note: this pamphlet was a collective effort, and one person took point on the compiling/editing (based on our input) and on the graphic design.
Others definitely put more work into this than I did.
On here, I basically am just posting a copy, to make it available.
UWO's "occupy" or "(de)occupy" group
Just a very minor point of clarification: this came out of Western's occupy group (which doesn't have a name yet, I believe), not Occupy London Ontario. The Western group has its own meetings and committees, and of course both groups cooperate with each other and have overlapping memberships.
