Next week, Occupy Portsmouth will be at civic events and locations around town as a part of the process of "raising the visibility level" of the movement, according to a blog post on their web site. There will be "protest actions" at the Town Council and School Committee meetings and next Thursday's Democratic open forum, as well as informal meetings, all leading up to the first scheduled General Assembly, planned for Tuesday, April 3, at 5:30pm at Patriots Park.

Follow Occupy Portsmouth on Facebook and Twitter.

Full disclosure: Since I'm both a supporter of Occupy, and one of the organizers of the Democratic community forum next Thursday, I am being put in the rather odd position of Occupying Myself. I confess that I do feel a bit like Harry Chiti.
