The Free Society Working Group gathers organizers to extend the values we practice in the Occupy movement to the structures and relationships of everyday life. Rather than focus on resistance or reform, we focus on building functioning alternatives to the dominant hierarchal system. We gather: to support each other; to hold ourselves accountable to our values; to share skills; to start new efforts and develop existing ones; to celebrate freedom! We meet Sundays, Noon – 2 PM and Tuesdays, 5 PM – 7 PM at 60 Wall Street.
