Georgetown University Occupy Presents: the Occupy Wall Street Teach-In

In response to the Wall Street Training Bootcamp coming to campus the weekend of February 25th and 26th, we offer an alternative: An Occupy Wall Street Teach-In. Come join us Sunday to reclaim Georgetown in the spirit of an education we can all embrace, constructive of a better future and faithful to our university’s Jesuit and ethical commitments to social justice. Unlike the bootcamp, this teach-in will promote people over profits, peace and equality for all, and will be free and open to the public at large. The teach-in will take on a participatory learning approach led by experts, professors, occupiers, and students. We will conclude by hosting the weekly Students Occupy DC General Assembly.

Sunday, February 26th: 9 am - 3 pm, Red Square (outside ICC building)

Contact gu-occupy@googlegroups.com for more information, or if you have any questions you’d like to be addressed in the teach-in. See our Facebook event. Georgetown University is located at 37th and O Streets NW-- the Intercultural Center is the red brick building past the lawn. Find directions here. See you there!
