Occupy Portland - Sleeping or camping outside

<<< Occupy Portland
== What occupation participants should take==
(as announced at 10/4/11 GA)
* A messkit: bowl, mug, utensils for washing in sanitation stations)
* Lots of water
* Snack food
* Sleeping bag
* Tarps: one to put on the ground, one to put on top of you to keep dry your sleeping bag
* Duct tape: to tape together the tarps
* Permanent marker: to write National Lawyers Guild attorney phone number on your arm. This will be the person to contact for any potential arrests.
* Bag to contain your own trash.
==Regarding overnight sleeping ==
In the City of Portland:
* You have the right to sleep in a sleeping bag (NLG researched this), but not on public property such as grassy areas, according to Portland City Code 14A.50.020 (B). Tent camping is equally illegal, and can be punished by a fine of up to $100 or 30 nights in jail. Sean, a worker at the Portland Rescue Mission, said in an interview Oct. 5 that police routinely ticket people sleeping on the grass in Waterfront Park.
* You cannot set up shelter through a "structure."
: "What constitutes a 'structure' has been identified as tents, canopies, or anything that looks like it is a habitation. We are planning for pup-tents and tarps to shelter people from the rain at this point. We are collecting tarps and mylar blankets to create shelters and rain guards for sleeping areas. We are also collecting twine, bungee cords, duct tape and any other devices that could hold things together as shelters." (see discussion http://occupyportland.org/organise-and-discuss/?mingleforumaction=viewtopic&t=193)
* It's legal to camp on sidewalks as long as you're eight feet away from the building, according to Portland City Code 14A.50.030 (E). (For sidewalks less than 10 feet wide, the figure is six feet.) City code requires room for two wheelchairs to roll between you and the adjacent frontage. Violations are punishable by a fine of up to $250.

Occupy Portland Labor Outreach Committee Mission Statement

== Labor Solidarity Committee:Formerly called the Labor Outreach Committee. Mission Statement ==
The purpose of the Labor Solidarity Committee is to facilitate communication and relationship building between labor and Occupy Portland. Labor and Unions are an essential part of the Occupy Movement and it is the goal of the Labor Solidarity Committee to make sure that they are included as much as possible.
The Labor Solidarity Committee is made up of organized and unorganized workers. We aim to better educate labor unions and other worker-oriented groups about ways to get involved and support Occupy Portland. We also work to bring existing struggles in the labor movement into Occupy Portland.
We currently meet weekly on Fridays, from 5:30-6:45pm at the St. Francis Church.
To get involved, email: maydayoutreach@gmail.com

Occupy Portland Stands In Solidarity with Labor

; OCTOBER 26, 2011
As occupiers at Occupy Portland, we stand in solidarity with organized and unorganized working people, the underemployed and unemployed masses of Oregon. We object to corporate greed and the systematic destruction of workers rights and living wage jobs; and we call for substantive economic and political changes that empower and represent the people! 
On October 6th, Occupy Portland kicked off with dozens of local labor unions and thousands of other workers in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street. We are the 99% and we demand economic and political systems that work for the 99%! It is objectionable that corporations dominate power, wreck havoc on the lives of ordinary people and desecrate our natural environment.
Together, we insist on living wage jobs, fair labor practices and workers rights across all sectors of production. We insist on economic justice and support for our unemployed, underemployed and unemployable brothers and sisters.
The occupiers of Occupy Portland greatly appreciate the support of organized labor and the people of Portland. You have contributed immensely to the support and operation of the occupied camp, including everything from portable toilets and sanitation, to food and coffee, to shelter from the rain and cold; and many more direct, in-kind and anonymous donations.
 
You have been loud and outspoken in your support of the occupation and for the national Occupy Movement. As occupiers at Occupy Portland, we understand that we represent only a small fraction of people who are giving visibility to this call for change. And like you, we will not call for an end to Occupy Portland until we see substantive economic and political change in Oregon and the U.S.
 
Please continue to give your support to the Occupy Portland occupation in whatever way you can. Many resources are needed to support the occupy camp. Passionate people are needed to join working groups and committees. Supporters are needed to give visibility to the movement by their presence in and around the camp.
 
You can find a list of these needs on the OccupyPDX.org website. You are invited to contact the Media-Press Committee at Press@OccupyPDX.org for ways to connect messaging to a wider audience; and you are also invited to join with the local-national Outreach Committee at Outreach@OccupyPDX.org to link up occupation work with broader communities.

Occupy Portland Wiki

Occupy Portland Wiki is a loose-knit, open group of volunteers who build and maintain Occupy Portland's pages on PortlandWiki, particularly the Occupy Portland Events page.
== Meetings ==
The volunteers who work on Occupy Portland's wiki content have started having weekly or biweekly meetings to help coordinate tasks, share knowledge, and identify areas to improve. You can talk about upcoming meetings on the Occupy Portland Wiki mailing list.
Occupy Portland has only scratched the surface of PortlandWiki's potential and we can build the Occupy Portland pages into something vastly more useful and easy to update. PortlandWiki admins want to help with the interface and the structure, so let's get together and talk about what we need.

Occupy the SEC

File:OccupiedSEC.jpg|Occupy the SEC
This letter, explaining the purpose of Occupy SEC and the specific and well-supported arguments to protect the Volcker Rule, after the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reforms were watered down by Wall Street lobbyists, is originally found in Mother Jones News article, In a 325-Page SEC Letter, Occupy's Finance Gurus Take on Wall Street Lobbyists
This quote taken verbatim from the letter and contains no Mother Jones content: 
"Occupy the SEC is a group of concerned citizens, activists, and professionals with decades of collective experience working at many of the largest financial firms in the industry. Together we make up a vast array of specialists, including traders, quantitative analysts, compliance officers, and technology and risk analysts.
Proprietary trading by large-scale banks was a principal cause of the recent financial crisis, and, if left unchecked, it has the potential to cause even worse crises in the future. In the words of a banking insider, Michael Madden, a former Lehman Brothers executive: "Proprietary trading played a big role in manufacturing the CDOs (collateralized debt obligations) and other instruments that were at the heart of the financial crisis. . . if firms weren't able to buy up the parts of these deals that wouldn't sell. . .the game would have stopped a lot sooner."
On the home site for Occupy the SEC is a statement regarding the comment letter:
"Occupy the SEC has submitted a 325 page letter to the SEC, FDIC, the Federal Reserve and the OCC, to comment on the notice of proposed rulemaking for the Volcker Rule. In our comment letter, we answered 244 out of 395 questions asked by the Agencies. 
The Agencies involved in the Volcker rulemaking process have an historic opportunity to redress many of the economic wrongs of the past, and create a future that privileges the interests of the many rather than the few. We ask that the Agencies vigorously implement the considerable responsibilities that have been discharged to them by Congress, remain faithful to the statute’s intent and consider the comments contained in this letter."
On the site is a scrollable copy of the Occupy the SEC Comment Letter on the Volcker Rule. 
A PDF version of the Occupy the SEC Comment Letter on the Volcker Rule is also available
