Announcements

Carlos announced that he will be starting an "Occupy 2" on July 4th of this year. His focus will be on creating a 501(3)(c) non-profit organization under his personal control.

The next Strike Debt meeting is tentatively set for Tues June 18 at 7PM at James' house again. "We had a really good meeting last night working on a draft for the video and we went into considerable more depth on a number of aspects of student debt/other debt etc all of which are important background for a short video. We will be working in the interim on furthering revising/developing the draft in various forms and hopefully some of that can be distributed before the next meeting so people can look at it in advance."

Occupy Boston was invited to be guests at the Episcopal City Mission's 2013 Annual Fundraising Dinner at Boston University’s George Sherman Union. (The keynote speaker is to be Occupy Wall Street activist: Rev. George Packard, Bishop of the Armed Services and Federal Ministries, Retired.) (2 OB members left the GA early to attend this.)
