#Occupy + Transition = Sustainable Revolution

Occupy Reno, General Assembly on Saturday 11/19 at 1:30 pm at the Moana Pool

The Transition Towns movement teaches us that peak oil and climate change are a threat to democracy and economic justice all by themselves. No amount of democratic reforms or economic regulations will save us, if we don't also transition from fossil fuels to more resilient, lower carbon systems.

The Occupy Wall Street movement reminds us that peak oil and climate change can only be addressed if we figure out a way to create real democracy and economic justice.
We invite you to meet Occupy Reno and discuss how we can combine our forces.

Transition and Occupy Reno are meeting at the Moana Pool tomorrow Saturday at 1:30pm to discuss how we can combine our forces.
The meeting is going to be held outside, bring warm cloth and a warm drink.Farmageddon last time in Reno!

About FARMAGEDDON
This is by far one of the most powerful life changing films ever made. If you have any interest in local food, family farmers, raw milk and finding out how the government has been harassing champions of the local food movement, then you MUST SEE THIS FILM! Kristin Canty has spent the last two years pouring her heart and soul into making this fantastic film. The film debuted in New York City, Washington DC, Los Angeles and San Francisco. It's been shown in communities around the nation and now we have an opportunity to see it in RENO!

Bank Transfer Day

Move your money to a credit union

Bank Transfer Day was November 5th. If you haven't closed your Bank Account at the big banks yet and moved to a credit union like Great Basin Credit Union or Greater Nevada Credit Union, here is why it's a good idea to do so asap:
  • Your money stays in your community
  • Credit Unions are non profits and put the money they make into service, better savings and back into your community.
  • There is more ATM's for Credit Unions than for the big banks nationwide.
  • Your money is still insured.
