Seattle, WA - Seattle organizers announce a free,
two-day, political and cultural festival called Everything for Everyone
meant to connect people from around the country interested in taking the
spirit of Occupy to a new level, aimed at changing everything.
Everything for Everyone will be fertile ground for developing a new political and cultural ecosystem where radical ideas, analysis and strategy are shared, debated, challenged, and advanced.
It begins outdoors on Saturday August 11th in Jefferson Park’s Northwest corner on Beacon Hill with a program running from 11am to 7pm, featuring guests from around the country. People will be participating in debates, workshops, panels, live music, and the arts.
On Sunday, August 12th, a plenary discussion will take place at the First Baptist Church on Capitol Hill from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. At 9:00 pm, the Festival comes to a close with a live concert and dance party at the nearby Highline Bar.
Organizer Carol Isaac says, ”Occupy’s explosion in the streets
exposed the smoldering discontent of millions here and all around the
globe. From shutting down banks and the West Coast Ports to directly
meeting the daily needs of the suffering, a new force has awakened to
challenge the fundamentals of this system. We aim to provide a national
meeting toward that end.”Everything for Everyone will be fertile ground for developing a new political and cultural ecosystem where radical ideas, analysis and strategy are shared, debated, challenged, and advanced.
