Want to know the latest on the pro-austerity campaign to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits behind the public’s back?

Join our Firedoglake Membership webinar Wednesday, August 29th at 8pm Eastern on “Catfood 3.0 and the Ongoing Fight to Protect Social Security” with special guests Nancy Altman, Eric Kingson and Alex Lawson of Social Security Works.

Our Panel this week features Firedoglake Founder Jane Hamsher and Occupy Supply Coordinator Bev Wright. They will go over the new OccupySupply Store and credit system that will be used for liaisons and occupiers to purchase new items and go over all of the exciting new items that have been added to the store for the summer. It is sure to be an exciting and informative presentation for all who are involved in the Occupy Movement or plan to protest this summer.

FDL Dissenter’s Kevin Gosztola will give us some background information based on his coverage of the five activists arrested during a raid on a South Side Chicago apartment and held without charge. They were arrested during the night around 1 a.m. on May 17, along with four other activists who have since been released. Join our discussion on The NATO 5: Occupy & The War On Terror on Wednesday 5/23 at 8:00pm

We had another great presentation on our weekly Occupy Supply Webinar title Outreach and Activism:Effective Outreach Lee Gaddies , Sergio Uzurin and Brian Sonenstein joined us for a discussion about out reach tactics. Lee started the conversation off with an account of the Occupy Detroit Listening tour and Outreach philosophy.

My name is John Washington from Occupy Buffalo and I will now be hosting the weekly Occupy Supply Webinars. As an Occupier I can bring a new perspective to the Occupy Supply Webinar. Guided by my experience with Occupy Buffalo I hope these webniars can become an online skill share for organizers around the country.

Tonight at 8 p.m. eastern, Occupy Supply will be hosting a free online discussion titled “May Day 2012: Activism Across the Country.” So please join us. You can register from the links on the post.

Everyone knows about the tremendous impact the Occupy movement has had on the national conversation on inequality. But many Occupies have been equally instrumental in bringing about major change in their own communities and making a real difference in local issues.

Occupy Supply will be devoting tonight’s webinar to food sovereignty, justice and activism. We’re pleased to invite you to join our free online talk “Occupy the Food Supply: Sovereignty, Justice and Activism” with blogger/author Jill Richardson and Occupiers from Asheville, Tampa and Rochester this evening at 8pm eastern.

We have been hoping to hold a webinar to analyze how Occupy can aid in struggles for racial justice and equality and how they can improve themselves to create a truly inclusive movement that is representative of the needs and concerns of communities of color. We know occupiers in places like Detroit have a lot of ideas and lessons they can share to the benefit of the movement, so we’re pleased to invite you to join our free online talk on Racism and the Occupy Movement with Lee Gaddies of Occupy Detroit and author and journalist Joanne Griffith this evening at 8pm eastern.

At 8pm eastern tonight, I will be joining Michael Whitney (formerly of FDL, now of Change.org) to give a training on online activism for the Occupy movement. Michael has led many successful battles on issues from the environment to civil liberties to drug reform to health care and beyond. Together, we would like to share our knowledge of online activism and organizing for the benefit of the Occupy movement. You can sign up now for tonight’s webinar.
