see full proposal

> DISCLAIMER: This space is for people to post working drafts and ideas of statements of purpose for Occupy Boston. These ideas on this page DO NOT reflect the consensus of the General Assembly. Rather, this is a place where people can contribute, edit, and discuss ideas.

Questions to think about:

• Why do we occupy?
• Why is the world messed up? What specifically is messed up about the world?
• We chant, "Another world is possible." What would your ideal world look like?
• If you could do just one thing to make the world better, what would you do?

SOP Inspiration

This is where we can put other statements (i.e. OWS, Declaration of Independence) as well as editorials, pieces of theory, etc. that we might find useful to think with. Sometimes it's good to rub our ideas against other people's ideas--then sparks fly in interesting ways.
