Safety and support for the women of occupy!

[AshClarissa]

Hi guys!

My name is Ashley and I am trying to start [along with my lady friend Wynne] some type of group that focuses on the women of the occupy movement.
We voiced our concerns tonight about the safety of women at HQ and the lack of leadership roles taken by women at the GA.
I got several emails which is rad!

If anyone else would be interested in joining a group like this or has ideas please email me, or find me down at HQ sometime!
My email is ash.clarissa@gmail.com

Thanks!

Here is what some had to say...
