Hey Ellen,

We can tell people about it and help you advertise it. But for Occupy Chicago to officially take part it must pass through ratification at our General Assemblies. A great place to learn about these procedures, besides taking part in the General Assembly, is our labor working group that occurs every Tuesday at 6:30 at Grace Place (637 S. Dearborn). We normally build solidarity events from these meetings, where a wide array of unions are represented as well as labor activists.

For more information you can always email: union.taskforce.occupychi@gmail.com
