Occupy Virginia Beach

We would like to thank everyone who came out to the meet and greet this past Sunday at Great Neck Park. Ann Wright and Medea Benjamin provided insights to many things currently occuring. Ranging from drones to wars, very interesting and important topics were brought up. Among those things that were said was that sooner than later, drones will be seen in the skies here in our homeland. The road ahead may seem difficult but we all must stick together, as in the union there is power. Furthermore, the ladies stated that as with any movement there are conflicts as they have experienced some themselves. However, let the conflicts not distract any of us from the main purpose of why we are all in this together.

Spring is here, let’s rejoice at how much we all have accomplished within a year, and the many accomplishments that we will see before year’s end.

Below are some important updates:

*As decided in our GA we will meet tonight at 7 pm – Fountain Plaza, Town Center, Virginia Beach
