This is just one of the several ways Occupy has impacted our local politics and social services scene. Feel free to post a link to the free clinic in your city run by 'Moderate Centrists' or whatever.
"COTTAGE GROVE South Lane Mental Health and Occupy Medical are joining forces to offer free medical care on Sunday, something that those involved say they hope becomes an ongoing partnership.
The four-hour event will provide medical care, foot care, nutrition guidance and haircuts, all with no appointment needed. They are the same services that have been offered in downtown Eugene since a first-aid tent first sprouted at an Occupy Eugene encampment.
This will be the first step in helping them establish a clinic, Occupy Medical Clinic Manager Sue Sierralupe said. We are presenting a showcase clinic. This is our first out-of-town clinic.
