#OccupyMissoula Update

Hey everyone - can barely keep my eyes open, but wanted to thank everyone who has helped. When I got involved last Sunday, the camp had been evicted. We formed a legal team and got the supposed arrest threats straightened out and then turned to getting the camp Winterized. I pretty much put out a call for help to friends, family and the internet at large. Bottom line, we're almost there and I really can't thank everyone enough.

So, the really good news - we got this tent today:




We still owes $275 for it - the seller agreed to take payments).

At this point, we need:

~ At least 2 coleman fuel lanterns, and bulk coleman fuel
~ chairs
~ Warm things to place on the ground. Throw rugs are great.
~ Good blankets

In addition to this, we need people to help out prepaying our accounts for propane at Axmen, and our food account at the Good Food Store. You can call these businesses and donate to the Occupation. Call the Good Food Store, (406) 541-3663 and Axmen at (406) 728-7020 and tell them you want to help out OccupyMissoula and add some funds to our prepaid accounts.

If you wish to make a donation please email me at taryn dot hart at gmail dot com and we can arrange the logistics of any donation.

Right now we have lost our full-time finance person and are in the process of transition. In the meantime, I am taking all donations for Winterizing the occupation.

Cash payments can go to my Pay Pal, which is at taryn.hart@gmail.com. Supplies can be sent to:

What do you think? Will the protests begin to dissipate due to the frosty weather and snow? I agree that those will with heart will continue to occupy; however, do you think many will abandon encampment in search of shelter?

Don't know - we're all just watching - I stopped predicting some time ago because I always underestimate them
