- Tomorrow (The 11th) is ‘Occupy The Streets’ day.http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=179186642163285 While Occupy Edinburgh did not create this event, it is none the less a great opportunity to spread the word. If you haven’t already visited our camp, please come down for a cup of tea or coffee tomorrow.
- Our Paypal account has been disabled as we are not a registered charity. Thank you to all our donators, we will have an alterative method of payment as soon as possible.
