North Kitsap 99% welcomes all people interested in action for progressive social change to their next general meeting on Jan. 23, 7-9 p.m., at the Suquamish United Church of Christ, 18732 Division Avenue NE, Suquamish. The group was formed this fall in solidarity with the Occupy movement, and its meetings are held on the second and fourth Mondays of the month in the same location.
Participants at the meetings take part in a “General Assembly,” participatory democracy in action. Each person has a voice and is encouraged to join in the discussion and decision-making process.
NK 99% is planning a major event to be held in Kitsap County on March 24 in cooperation with some other Kitsap County progressive organizations. NK 99% working groups — also open to more participation — are helping to plan what this event will look like, where it will be held, and what outcomes they hope to see. More information about the March event will be shared at the G.A. on Jan. 23 and in the coming weeks.
A website is under construction for North Kitsap 99% at http://sites.google.com/site/northkitsap99/. It is also found on Facebook.
