Here are some excellent resources and tools we can use:
InterOccupy hosts regular conference calls that connect Working Groups across occupations. InterOccupy.org provides channels of communication between occupations of the Occupy movement. We are currently hosting weekly conference calls that connect Occupiers, Working Groups and General Assemblies to each other across occupations. We use the Maestro conference call technology that allows up to 500 people to interact productively on phones. Maestro allows for smaller group breakout sessions so people with shared interests can connect in the middle of a large call. Our Weekly General Call is every Monday night. Many great features with this technology, and a great way to connect nationally!
