Occupy London invites you to watch and share widely the 10 minutes video below:

Occupy London now has three spaces, including its first occupation camp at St Paul’s Churchyard – just by the London Stock Exchange in the heart of the City – and a second camp at Finsbury Square in the borough of Islington. Its third space, is a multi-million abandoned complex of building at 21-29 Sun Street in Hackney, belonging to investment bank UBS which Occupy London, in an act of ‘public repossession’ has turned into its first Bank of Ideas, a space for debate and dialogue.

Two of these spaces are currently facing eviction – the occupation at St Paul’s and the Bank of Ideas – and your support is called on.

Occupy London invites you to get involved and support the Occupy movement:

• Help Occupy London’s Stock Exchange camp by St Paul’s in the High Court as it faces eviction – Deadline for witness statements is 3pm today so provide one now whether you are a supporter from afar, a visitor or an occupier [http://occupylsx.org/?p=2177]
• Occupy Everywhere! On December 15, it will be two months since the start of Occupy London. Occupy London started by building communities in our capital city. Now it’s time to occupy everywhere.
