Main Convergence Center

The Wellington Avenue United Church of Christ (615 W. Wellington has agreed to provide their basement space as the main convergence center for the upcoming week of actions. This will be a place to make demo-related artwork, hold large indoor meetings, act as a welcoming center (to learn about when/where events), and the place where breakfast and dinner will be provided each day. A series of legal, medic, direct action, facilitation, affinity group, and other trainings will be held here. Larger meetings like action spokes, logistical meetings, open space meetings, and open discussions will also be held here. Please check back to the occupychi.org and Occupy Chicago facebook page for more details. Anyone is welcome to use the space and in fact, please be intentional about planning meetings/trainings/ and events here.

The space will be open from 8:30AM to 10:00PM everyday for now until further notice. The church space may be closed for the congregation on Sunday mring

Unit 501 at 500 W. Cermak will serve as more of a secondary space where people will be diverted to the Wellington Avenue Church of Christ. For those that have gotten used to Cermak or prefer it for whatever reason, the space is being chosen for both spacial and security (less likely to be raided) reasons.

Please spread the word and start coming to the church!
