Other Gatherings in Philly

It has become aware to us that other things are going on during the Convergence. As always, it is up to the individual to decide what is going on in their own time while they are in Philadelphia.
The Agitate Anti-Summit will be taking place during the Philly Radical Convergence and we are in no way associated with them or their organizing efforts. As stated in our About section, we are not associated with the Occupy Movement, and this includes groups within the Occupy Movement.

Updates

-There is an Events page now! The next event is Friday, June 15 at the Wooden Shoe.

-We are going to have to pay for the convergence space, so later tonight there will be a donations option, if you feel so inclined. This money will also go towards our bail/legal fund in case people get arrested (we’re hoping you won’t).

I’ll keep you posted as things start to happen.

See you in two weeks!

About the Space

We have been getting a lot of questions about exactly where in Philly the Convergence space is going to be.

Here’s the answer: When we know, we’ll let you know.

We don’t want to publish the convergence space too early and risk, among other things, losing the space. We will post the exact location closer to the date of the Convergence.

Thank you for your patience, you guys. I realize that there’s not that much information up, but trust us; we’re doing a lot of work to make sure everyone’s going to be safe and happy.

Updates

Hi everyone! I know that you all have been looking for updates as to what is going on with the convergence. I have added a lot of things, so here’s the list of updates:

– I have added a skeletal workshop list. This is what we have so far, and are still seeking volunteers to lead workshops and skillshares.

– I have added an events page for those of you in Philadelphia so you can come, hang out, and help us raise money so we can pay for the bare esentials and have money in case people need to get bailed out of jail.

– I will be adding more posters today at some point, so keep your eyes peeled.

As for future updates, we will be adding a legal fund donation button so our wonderful legal volunteers can help people out in case something goes awry. Better safe than sorry.

Just a reminder:  We are posting information as fast as we possibly can. Right now, there is one person updating the website and they are working as fast as they humanly can on making sure that as much information is provided to you as possible to make sure you’re outfitted with the best information possible about what we’re doing. Remember, we’re working on a really short timeline so updates will be coming frequently. It’s best to check here often.

If you have any questions as to helping out with workshops, or to offer your support, or to RSVP, please email us at philly2012@riseup.net. If you are in need of housing, please email housingshareradcon@gmail.com.

For all other information, please reference the website frequently as updates become available. Thank you for your patience.
