 Occupiers are traveling caravan-style from the 4 corners of the United States to converge in Philly for a national gathering from June 30 to July 4, picking up riders and vehicles along the way. The Northeast caravan will stop in Newark, New Jersey overnight on 6/29.

In Newark, Caravanners will be welcomed at a greeting hub and receive information about actions taking place where they can join in solidarity with local residents. They will also receive directions to the homes, churches and organizations hosting them for the night. 

You are welcome to join the actions, festivities and share the evening's potluck meal. Bring your signs! Bring your instruments! Bring your voices!!!

Join this event to receive information as it becomes available. This is a rough outline of the day as it looks now (may change, so check back).
