This...The date that is under the picture is wrong. This was a picture taken at the first Overnight Camp Out for Change at City Hall put on by the Real Change Organizing Project. The date of the event was actually December 19, 2007. Amazingly, we went from an idea to holding the event in just two weeks. On a cold, rainy December night with that short notice, and that close to Christmas, we were able to still attract 150 people to the rally, and around 50 people who camped out overnight. <BR/><BR/>I don't see this as indicative of how popular RCOP is, nor how good our group is at organizing. It is more indicative of how large and how bad the situation has become, and how as a result people are willing to fight back.<BR/><BR/>This most recent Overnight Camp Out at City Hall for Change attracted around 50 volunteers who did daytime visibility work around the city, 200 people to a dinner served at City Hall, and around 150 campers.<BR/><BR/>Real Change Organizing Project has promised Mayor Nickels that we will be back every three months until everyone who is living outdoors without shelter is safe.<BR/><BR/>Doug M.<BR/>Real Change Organizing ProjectAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
