UNC Sit-In

Notice regarding a sit-in at UNC-Chapel Hill:

Hi everyone,

It is our fifth day sitting in the administration building... in 10 minutes the building opens (woohoo!) and we can get a little fresh air.

We have set up a wordpress for updates and more information (it's a work in progress, but all the basics are on there): http://dsp4unc.wordpress.com/ Please check there for continuing updates.

Also, our lovely campus newspaper the Daily Tar Heel, printed some ridiculous articles about the sit-in... They're not bad so much as just ridiculous. I like how people who have never organized are advising us on tactics. This is the longest sit-in since the 1993 sit-in for the black cultural center, and seriously, this is what they come up with? Why not ask the thousands of people who support us and actually know what's going on? Sigh. If yall can write letters to the editor, we'd be much obliged.

Also, for local Triangle folk, letters to the editor to any of the local newspapers would be very very helpful for us.

Peace and solidarity,
the members of the occupying force
