Tiny House Curious? Join Occupy Madison Sunday! – forwardlookout.com

Occupy Madison is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the opening of the first village!

From Occupy Madison:

Sunday, November 3, 10:00 – 17:00

• • • 10 am – noon – Join us at 304 N Third Street to see the first village!

    • lunch – 2 p.m – Join us at 1901 Aberg Ave. to see the 2nd village!

    • 14:00 – 17:00 – Join us at 201 S. Stoughton Rd. to see the 3rd village home and our new house building site!

Born out of the Wisconsin uprising in response to Act 10 and the worldwide Occupy Wall Street movement, and after being exhausted by local efforts to find a legal place for our uninhabited neighbors to legally exist, our first small townhouse was cut in November 2014. .

We are proud to have achieved a lot in the last 10 years.

• • • We own two villages mortgage free!

    • We are almost finished with our new production site for our tiny houses!

    • When completed, we will be able to house 53 previously unhoused individuals in self-governing cooperative communities

    • We have installed solar power on 2 of our properties

    • We have a retail store where we sell goods made by residents and volunteers

    • We have a successful greenhouse and annual plant sale to raise funds for the villages

Things we are working on include:

• • • Launching a food cart

    • Completion of our manufacturing facility

    • We are renovating our property for our 3rd village

    • Building 24 larger wooden houses to complete our first two villages

    • Construction of 22 more houses for the 3rd village

    • Create and operate a “free shop”.

We have only been able to do this because of the generosity of many community members who have donated, volunteered and collaborated with us in many ways. We invite the community to come celebrate with us at a progressive party in each of our three villages.

Join us on Sunday, November 3rd to take a tour, meet the residents, purchase items made by our residents, and enjoy a scavenger hunt of sorts!
