We also talked about the culture we need to promote in terms of Media within OB. Our Wed meetings are very reactive. That stuff needs to get done, but there's an opportunity to be proactive. We have all these tools and the opportunity to frame the debate before it's framed for us -- A1, A4, whatever. There's a lot of creativity and skills in the room, so we should be thinking proactively. What can we create instead of just responding to the web forms; it sells us short. I just wanted to say that to frame the discussion. Let's think creatively about how we might want to tap in to proactive stuff.</div><div><br/></div><div>Matt: Does Occupy the Issues play into this? I'm very interested in writing on that stuff.</div><div><br/></div><div>Eli: Yes.</div><div><br/></div><div>'''LONG TERM PLANNING'''</div><div><br/></div><div>'''MEDIA STRATEGY FOR SUNDAY APRIL 1'''</div><div><br/></div><div>Rachel: What do we know that we're allowed to all be on the same page on regarding A1?</div><div><br/></div><div>DSB: Many people in this room are already getting press inquiries.</div><div><br/></div><div>Rachel: We can't actually respond until we know what we can all be on the same page about.</div><div><br/></div><div>Jay: So you want to know what's going to happen?</div><div><br/></div><div>Rachel: No, we need to know what we can talk about.</div><div><br/></div><div>Jay: A1 is very loosely organized. It's going to be very fluid. My guess is that people are going to come with what they're going to do, and there's going to be a lot of autonomous action. Everybody's going to come with an idea of what they're going to bring for the day.</div><div><br/></div><div>Rachel: Numbers?</div><div><br/></div><div>Jay: No idea. I've spoken with a lot of folks both within and outside of OB. A lot of people might come out just to see what we're going to do.</div><div><br/></div><div>Michael: I had a major discussion about this when I asked the simple question about this. Officially it's just a GA that's outside. I guessed that we'd [Facilitation] have to step in, and there's been a large conversation. Unofficially there's a proposal for reoccupation. I'm not even sure about the things outside of GA, because it's supposed to be a day long series of actions. I'd like some more information about what's going to happen -- at least the GA portion of it.</div><div><br/></div><div>DSB: The best source of information I've had so far is Facebook. The number of people who've said that they're going to attend is 400. In terms of specific plans I'm not aware of any. The Food WG was a bit concerned. The flier changed to "bring some to share." There is a Facebook event page that's seen a lot of actions and views.</div><div><br/></div><div>Jay: [Looking on Facebook] There are ~320 people who are going, 1800 who are invited.</div><div><br/></div><div>DSB: I had hopes for what people would do. I am unaware of any structure, however.</div><div><br/></div><div>Matt S: If anyone was to ask me, I'd just be pretty vague. I wouldn't want to set any expectation that couldn't follow through, because I don't know what's going to happen.</div><div><br/></div><div>Robin: This is a John Murphy thing that we've tried to harness. We don't necessarily need to worry about what's going to happen. It's more symbolic than it is a literal take back Dewey Square.</div><div><br/></div><div>Eli: That's very similar to the spirit of what I was going to say. There's an opportunity here. The press will be there, the police will be there, there's an opportunity for there to be stories. It's April Fool's day; there's an opportunity for humor. If people autonomously set up tents and refuse to leave, there's a high probability of arrest. People want to hold their ground and I understand that, and there's power behind that, but there's also an opportunity here. Maybe this isn't the moment to reoccupy. We shouldn't do that just because John Murphy created a Facebook page. Maybe we could create 1000 tiny tents? Something like that.</div><div><br/></div><div>Farhad: I just wanted to point out that there's a tension here between designing actions that will take place on A1 versus talking about how we would respond as the Media WG. This is a great conversation, and I'm psyched that we're having it, but I just wanted to acknowledge that.</div><div><br/></div><div>Dan: Agreement.</div><div><br/></div><div>Eli: I don't think there's a difference. Actions are communications tools too. It's the action that's really getting the message across. If we can be proactive and initiate a communications action -- what can we fill this vacuum with?</div><div><br/></div><div>John: One piece of our strategy should be a rapid response with whatever's coming in on the livestream. Having somebody back here who can rapidly edit that into a highlight video.</div><div><br/></div><div>Dan: Maybe now would be a good time to do a quick report back from the livestream meeting. I'd be concerned about using livestream video for highlights because it's not high quality. It's not even medium quality. </div><div><br/></div><div>Stephen: In terms of media strategy, the line for A1 should be that the banks are playing us for fools. Nothing has changed here -- whether you look at the mortgage settlement, Obama's appointments to the Fed, etc. It would seem to make sense to me to set the agenda ourselves. Regardless of what happens on the 1st, nothing has changed. The issues are still what they were 6 months ago.</div><div><br/></div><div>Ariel: One way to shape this narrative would be to move to the 4th, which will be a bigger action. Right away make the arc so that there's a connection there. We could play with that in the Media. We sort of have a victory in Dewey Square and then we take it to the State House.</div><div><br/></div><div>Jay: [Reading the Facebook schedule]</div><div><br/></div><div>12 pm - Lunch (bring some to share)</div><div>1 pm - April 1st march (sarcastically invoke the ideas and thoughts that Occupy Boston is fighting against)</div><div>4:30 pm - Open Mic/Stack</div><div>5:30 pm - Occupy Boston's General Assembly</div><div><br/></div><div>I think a good strategy for that day would be create point people for specific things. There's probably going to be autonomous action more than likely after GA.</div><div><br/></div><div>Dan: We kind of divided up for A4 -- and we can do this for A1 -- what we needed to do beforehand, what we need to do day of, and what we need to do afterward.</div><div><br/></div><div>Jay: We can use A1 to introduce to the public and build to A4. That could be our narrative. That could be our narrative. We're back, and this is our next step.</div><div><br/></div><div>Rachel: I don't want to loose what Stephen was talking about it. If we make A1 just about A4 then we loose that. The point of being in Dewey Square is to pound on our issues overall. I agree with Dan; I'd love for us to come up with a list of things that we need for these days. Talking about them in sequence and talking about what that week is going to look like will help us make those connections. That can only help develop a better media strategy.</div><div><br/></div><div>[Notetaker's note: I'm slowing down because it stinks to type on this thing.]</div><div><br/></div><div>DSB: It seems that this is a golden opportunity to set up an Info Tent. A lot of people will show up on A1 because it's getting press coverage. Be able to great them and give them information. It could have a mobile put up/take down presence.</div><div><br/></div><div>Rachel: Info and Occupy the MBTA are already working on that.</div><div><br/></div><div>Jay: The BPD gave OB Screenprint a hard time about setting up a canopy on the Commons. If any WG sets a tent up anywhere, they're going to give you a hard time. If you're giving something away, they're going to give you a hard time.</div><div><br/></div><div>Farhad: Info has been talking about this -- and Rita's especially interested -- but we need help. So if you're excited about it, then please contact Info!</div><div><br/></div><div>Matt S: We could start with what Stephen said and then tie it in to bringing it to the State House.</div><div><br/></div><div>Stephen: The question of the relation to the police and how much of our discursive space we want to give to the police question. Unless we can tie that to something like Trayvon Martin, our messaging is a lot stronger if we can keep it focused on the banks in that kind of thing. A lot of people don't want to hear us talk about the police. Unless we can really nail them on it, I think we need to keep the message slightly broader. The reason they beat us up is so we'll talk about it. They'll lock us in a cycle of local trauma, and they'll consume us with hatred for them.</div><div><br/></div><div>Noah: One really strong thing we can do that's Dewey specific is talk about the First Amendment. What we've learned, what the status is. It's April 1st. We could do a mock funeral. I think the 1st Amendment has a place in this, more so than the police.</div><div><br/></div><div>Mike K: During the GA myself and other people who aren't quite legally allowed in Dewey Square to be across the street participating with mic checks back and forth. The theme is that we've been disenfranchised, and we can tie that into the A4. They've been having all these T meetings, and we haven't been part of them, so we're having our own.</div><div><br/></div><div>Joshua: It's not clear to me what "not going to Dewey Square means."</div><div><br/></div><div>Rachel: We have no idea what they have license to do on any given day. Given a hard time for being in Dewey due to OB stuff on backpack.</div><div><br/></div><div>Eli: It's 4, and we have a lot to talk about, and the meeting ends at 5. The way that we did the A4 stuff was to outline before, during, and after Media stuff. Can we temp check about how feel about the model?</div><div><br/></div><div>[Positive temp check]</div><div><br/></div><div>'''BEFORE'''</div><div><br/></div><div>Farhad: We need talking points for A1 for when we get internal press inquiries. So far, we've been talking about pivoting away from when or where we'd occupy to focus on why we'd occupy. What's important about the tactic, why we did it, and what it accomplished. This isn't to say that this is the only way to talk about it, but it's what we'd been talking about in previous Media meetings.</div><div><br/></div><div>Eli: We need a press release that hits on the issues that Stephen outlined -- maybe with a sense of humor.</div><div><br/></div><div>Rachel: We need a text to announce this. We should also be prepared to use the emergency text system.</div><div><br/></div><div>Jay: Is that the same thing?</div><div><br/></div><div>Rachel: Same service, two different lists.</div><div><br/></div><div>Jay: But they come from the same number?</div><div><br/></div><div>Eli: Yes.</div><div><br/></div><div>Joshua: We need to do a little coordination on Tweets.</div><div><br/></div><div>Farhad: We should prepared with additional livesteam and multimedia trainings.</div><div><br/></div><div>Rene: That's a really good idea. I think we should do that and schedule it today. Is anybody interested in making a really short promo clip for the 1st? Does anybody have a camera who wants to make a 30 second promo clip?</div><div><br/></div><div>Eli: Why don't we just do the livestream training on A1?</div><div><br/></div><div>Mike K: Can somebody add that to the Facebook page?</div><div><br/></div><div>[Notetaker's note: this was done, and it's scheduled for 3 pm.]</div><div><br/></div><div>Ariel: We're also having the NLG training on the 2nd or the 3rd.</div><div><br/></div><div>Joshua: We need to make sure in terms of battery packs and things that everything is there.</div><div><br/></div><div>Rene: Coming back to the issue of the camera...</div><div><br/></div><div>Farhad: I'm not sure if anybody with access to a camera is here right now. What we've done in the past is look for somebody to volunteer to bottom line tracking that person down after the meeting.</div><div><br/></div><div>Stephen: I can ask Occupy Harvard's video person.</div><div><br/></div><div>Dan: We still need to be talking about beforehand stuff.</div><div><br/></div><div>Jay: Lefty dropped off three small little batteries for livestreaming this week. They only last about two hours.</div><div><br/></div><div>Joshua: Eli has a google Doc which is an inventory of Media equipment and who has it. We should make sure it's updated.</div><div><br/></div><div>Jay: I texted the livestream Cel.ly when I took them.</div><div><br/></div><div>DSB: There a number of sometime videographers. Matt S, Bil Lewis... (missed the other folks she mentioned to to knocking something over and generally making a fool of myself).</div><div><br/></div><div>Matt S: What would be the bullet points that we would go over as a group for the week?</div><div><br/></div><div>Rachel: There are a couple of areas here where it would make sense to have a small group of people work on. Talking points and press release, text and tweets, livestream and video spot. Not to break into groups right now, but to have people meet in groups in the next day or so.</div><div><br/></div><div>Noah: because it's April Fool's day, we should go ridiculous in some way. We're meeting at Dewey to formally dissolve Occupy Boston. Everything's been fixed, we all have jobs, and we've all taken showers. It could be a solemn procession, we put our buttons down in piles, and then transition into talking about what we're actually doing. We're meeting to commemorate what happened.</div><div><br/></div><div>[Notetaker's note: everybody seems to love this idea.]</div><div><br/></div><div>Stephen: I'm happy to work on talking points and press release.</div><div><br/></div><div>Mike K: Point of information: there's actually going to be a bunch of us dressed up that day, so that'll fit in well.</div><div><br/></div><div>Matt S: How would we lead this into the 4th? How would we lead this into the narrative for the week?</div><div><br/></div><div>Farhad: We could make it part of the theater. We come in, we say we're done, we've all got jobs, we've all showered, and then maybe somebody reads a newspaper and is like Wait! This stuff is still happening! Nothing's changed!</div><div><br/></div><div>Josh Golin: We need people to volunteer for these tasks.</div><div><br/></div><div>Eli: I'll do text.</div><div><br/></div><div>DSB: I'm willing to take point on still photography</div><div><br/></div><div>Matt S: I can do video.</div><div><br/></div><div>Rachel: Can somebody coordinate with Eli from social media?</div><div><br/></div><div>Joshua: I will.</div><div><br/></div><div>Rene: Can we get somebody to take point on editing day of?</div><div><br/></div><div>Rachel: Can somebody call David Ludlow?</div><div><br/></div><div>Eli: I'll do that right now.</div><div><br/></div><div>Talking points: Farhad, Stephen, Dan, Rachel, John, Matt, Noah</div><div><br/></div><div>[Notetaker's notes: Hands hurt. Stripping down again.]</div><div><br/></div><div>'''DAY OF'''</div><div><br/></div><div>Rene: We're going to have a streamer meeting. We need at home production too.</div><div><br/></div><div>Rachel: We need people available to talk to press that day.</div><div><br/></div><div>Dan: It might be worth it for those of us in the talking points group to report back to whoever is going to be talking to the press.</div><div><br/></div><div>Rachel: I would love for Gunner to be able to do a media training when the livestream training.</div><div><br/></div><div>DSB: I can do stills. Matt as well.</div><div><br/></div><div>Noah: Can we get Jimi Two Feathers to do aerial footage?</div><div><br/></div><div>Eli: David Ludlow is going to check his calendar.</div><div><br/></div><div>Dan: I'll be able to do video as well.</div><div><br/></div><div>Matt S: I can do some backup video -- I don't have much space on my camera.</div><div><br/></div><div>Joshua: I'll take point for Twitter.</div><div><br/></div><div>Robin: I'll be at work but can Tweet remotely.</div><div><br/></div><div>Jay: You can tweet off of the livestream interface and it'll go to your feed with the link included.</div><div><br/></div><div>Rachel: Stephen and I will be available for rapid response writing.</div><div><br/></div><div>Jay: We should expect arrests at any OB action. They're going to be looking to arrest people.</div><div><br/></div><div>Robin: If we could be more vigilant -- those of us who are documenting.</div><div><br/></div><div>Dan: They're also looking to provoke us.</div><div><br/></div><div>John: Were they trying to isolate people from the group?</div><div><br/></div><div>Nowanta: Not on Tuesday.</div><div><br/></div><div>Mike K: They're upping surveillance. Also, I'd recommend that everybody get the "I'm Getting Arrested" app for their smart phone.</div><div><br/></div><div>Joshua: We should revitalize our offsite password holder. Theresa had been doing this in the past.</div><div><br/></div><div>'''AFTER'''</div><div><br/></div><div>Rachel: We need to think about collecting footage and documenting everything for the NLG. This is true for all of these events. We as Occupy Boston need to pool these things. </div><div><br/></div><div>Eli: Media@occupyboston.org goes basically just to me now, but we've set up the list for people to check it.</div><div><br/></div><div>Joshua: I'll take point on this. Send an email out to the external list.</div><div><br/></div><div>Farhad: We should be prepared for additional media attention at the Open House on April 2. All we need to do for the event is be able to talk about what we do as a working group, but we should be prepared for further external press interest.</div><div><br/></div><div>'''MEDIA STRATEGY FOR SUNDAY APRIL 4'''</div><div><br/></div><div>Rene: Reads previous notes ([http://notes.occupy.net/p/OBMediaTalkingPoints http://notes.occupy.net/p/OBMediaTalkingPoints])</div><div><br/></div><div>Noah: People will be meeting at Park Street Station at 11 am tomorrow morning to get some good footage for a 30 second A4 spot featuring the same mic check performed multiple times in multiple places.</div><div><br/></div><div>Dan: There's going to be a press training for Occupy MBTA folks on either April 2 or April 3. Could maybe do April 1 as well. May be tough for Gunner to do on the 1st during the day.</div><div><br/></div><div>Rachel: Before or after the NLG training? After seems better.</div><div><br/></div><div>'''BEFORE'''</div><div><br/></div><div>[Notetaker's notes: I hate this thing. Resorting to action items only.]</div><div><br/></div><div>DSB: Coordinate David and Jess to get the existing spot on TV</div><div>Eli: Text & robo call, test livestream reception </div><div>Rachel: Coordinated letters to the editors</div><div>Multimedia Bubble: Further promo videos</div><div>Josh: Ask Gunner about press trainings</div><div>Joshua: Encourage folks to update the Media contact list, notification of actions items</div><div>Dan: Assess who can be there day of</div><div><br/></div><div>'''DAY OF'''</div><div><br/></div><div>Eli: livestream</div><div>People who can write very quickly: Stephen, Rachel, DSB</div><div><br/></div><div>'''AFTER'''</div><div><br/></div><div>Possibility of needing ongoing resources: Ariel</div><div>Nearby warm center to do media coverage, charge things, etc: Rachel, Josh</div><div><br/></div><div>Jay: There were a few reps who were at the 3 Strikes Rally who are sympathetic -- Ayanna Pressley, Felix Arroyo, etc. They may at least be willing to help us with electricity.</div><div><br/></div><div>'''JUMPING STACK: PROPOSAL FOR A FOOTAGE/PHOTO SUBMISSION SYSTEM'''</div><div><br/></div><div>Eli: A Dropbox Pro account is $20 bucks a month. It needs a service so that people can send files to us without our giving them Dropbox. AirDropper will do that for $9 a month. Sort of like FTP stuff only more secure. Cloud based depository where we could grab stuff and put it on our HDs. Seems like it fits into our Media budget. I'd take point on setting this up.</div><div><br/></div><div>Liam: Is this for an iPhone app?</div><div><br/></div><div>Eli: It's so we can Tweet out a link that allows everybody to submit whatever they've got.</div><div><br/></div><div>Liam: We should look into setting up an ftp server on the Media WG iMac</div><div><br/></div><div>Eli: Agreed.</div><div><br/></div><div>Dan: I'd be concerned with Tweeting out the link that it might get overloaded.</div><div><br/></div><div>Eli: There's an upload limit.</div><div><br/></div><div>Dan: We could also ask them to email us and then give them the link once we feel comfortable.</div><div><br/></div><div>Joshua: Can we take consensus that if the FTP isn't possible, we'll move forward with Dropbox & AirDropper?</div><div><br/></div><div>[We have consensus!]</div><div><br/></div><div>Eli: I'll check with OBIT.</div><div><br/></div><div>'''PROPOSED MEETING WITH THE BPD'''</div><div><br/></div><div>Rachel: proposal to table the BPD conversation.</div><div><br/></div><div>Jay: What's the background?</div><div><br/></div><div>Rachel: Gunner works with the BPD for his job, and they brought the idea of meeting with some of us up to him.</div><div><br/></div><div>Robin: However we approach this, we need to be respectful of the position that Gunner is in.</div><div><br/></div><div>Matt: If we had an elected official who was behind us on this then it might be a good idea. Also: having the NLG present.</div><div><br/></div><div>Rachel: The NLG has been a major thread in the online discussion.</div><div><br/></div><div>Ariel: I have strong concerns, want to make sure that this doesn't happen without at least further conversation.</div><div><br/></div><div>DSB: I propose that we roll this over until Gunner can explain.</div><div><br/></div><div>Jay: I'm strongly opposed to speaking to the police. I also strongly sympathize with Gunner's situation. The police are not our friends, they're going to tell us what to do. If somebody's going to go, please tell me, and I'll be there. This should be transparent, and there should be a lawyer there. I will livestream.</div><div><br/></div><div>Mike K: Just remember, if you do to talk to the police, you are putting yourself at risk, they will hold you accountable.</div><div><br/></div><div>Stephen: I want to put out a possibility of handling this where we treat it like we're organizing them. We ask them a bunch of questions about their working conditions, trying to see how we can help them. Film the whole thing. They're just going to get mad and look ridiculous.</div><div><br/></div><div>[Notetaker's note: everybody was at least really entertained by this idea.]</div><div><br/></div><div>'''BROADER MEDIA STRATEGY FOR THE SPRING'''</div><div><br/></div><div>Tabled.</div><div><br/></div><div>'''DETERMINE A TOPIC FOR NEXT SAT'S MEETING'''</div><div><br/></div><div>Dan: Next weekend should be split 50/50 between A1 and A4.

Yahktoe:

(Formerly Inreach)

The Info WG aims to improve internal communications within Occupy Boston. We believe that enhanced communication and coordination within our community will allow us to advance the Occupy movement more effectively.

We assess the communication structures and gaps of the OB activist community and develop forums to enhance communication between working groups and individuals. We currently are meeting on Wednesday's at 5pm.

Right now we are working on developing a central Communication Hub (CommHub), a database run by OB volunteers to collect, organize and disseminate useful information for working group members. We believe the the successful implementation of this tool will allow us become a more cohesive social movement.

Please contact inreach@occupyboston.org to join the effort.

Our meetings are every Wednesday 5:30 - 7pm at United for a Fair Economy (29 Winter St., Boston)

'''Daily Digest'''

-Anna has email address in works and DD should be able to start up again soon. We need to figure out how to support Anna in doing Daily Digest

-Open House – We want to send out a list to the WG’s that this is happening, but we’re not sure how to do that yet

-Farhad emailed Band and hasn’t heard back

- Nick feels that he has special responsibility to make the Open House go well. He has been rash with the group and made an announcement at GA that he had been wronged.

-Facebook Page for Open House exists.

-Farhad went through Working Groups and separated WG’s that communicate with outside people through email and those that don’t

 

'''Process for WG email'''

We have a email list with 38 people on it. We have an email account that only Farhad checks. We need more people to check it and respond to inquiries

Option – we could have 3 people every week check the emails to the list and respond form their individual emails.

-Problem – that could result in individuals being contacted instead of the info wg group. We don’t want people getting into that habbit

Brett  -  lets have 1 person each week pay special attention to the list and respond from the Inreach email account, not their own personal email.

Tabling this issue until next week

Daniel – reach out to tech to get possible solutions

'''Open House'''

 

OB TV can distribute a bit that we make dor the open house. OB Radio also wants to help support the Open House

Bil will make sure to respond to OB TV

Radio: no one wants to go on the radio and talk about the Open house but Michelle will email them a blurb that they can read about it on the radio

Format of Open House
</div></div>
<br/>Bil: Shares his vision for the Open House

       - Half an hour of milling around

       - A mic check announcing 3-4 minutes of

               - slide show

               - speakers

       - Back to the career fair vibe

Brett: Shares his vision

       - Editor's note: I missed a lot of this -- Brett, can you fill it in?

       - Somewhere other than St. Paul's

Anna: How are we going to reach people outside of the Occupy Boston bubble?

Bil: Has been plugging an "awareness" campaign at GA for a while now. Tomorrow we'll be asking for folks to hand out flyers, etc.

Anna: <span class="il" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204); color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Notes</span> that the flyers already say St. Paul's. Is it too late to change the location?

Michelle: Has friends that are graphically inclined. Ideally would like to have more things that people can walk away with that look good. There's a lot going on, but nobody knows about it.

       - Action Item: will follow up with friends.

Bil: There's a handbook that we're working on for this

       - Photos

       - Who we are and what we've been doing

       - Descriptions of our GA process

       - Etc

Anna: Wants a different photo for the cover. That photo of the tents looks like dirty hippies.

It's where we started.

Anna: It can be a photo of tents, would prefer it not to be that one.

Michelle: It's like Vegas; it was beautiful at night.

Bobby: How many groups are going to participate?

Bil: We don't know yet. We have to contact them individually. I am willing to spearhead that if I can delegate each active member of Info a few groups to follow up with.

<span class="il" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204); color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Farhad</span>: I'll contribute to this effort by continuing to work on the contact list ([http://bit.ly/AaKiHN http://bit.ly/AaKiHN]).

Bil: Here are the <span class="il" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204); color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">notes</span> from last week.

Report Backs

            Daily Digest – waiting on someone in OBIT

- Brett emails media about adding Daily digest submission form

InterOccupy roles

            -Bobby will take Interoccupy calls for the week

            -Brett will cover GA announcements

Open House – (Spur of the moment Working Group Field trip to St. Pauls!!!)

            -Open House Structure

                        Consensus on this break down

 Inreach WG will set aside spaces for all the WG’s that respond to our invitation to have a WG station by Wednesday 3/28. When the WG’s arrive with their sign, they will be shown their spot. Because of limited space in St. Pauls, and it’s un-optimal layout for an Open House (think pews), we feel this will help create a sane environment.

'''6:00p – '''Mingling, greeting, music outside, networking

'''6:20p''' – Opening Presentation

-Bil’s video played in background with approx. 5 speakers talking.

-Option: 1 Speaker does overview of OB, 3 or 4 give very short descripts of their WG activities/ accomplishments

'''6:40p – 8:30''' – Open House! WG Stations, networking aids from the Inreach WG, Music outside

*We probably want to add in a wrap-up speaker to say thank you adjourn the Open House

 

'''            -***'''Outreach to WG’s – Bil will send out a small list of WG’s for each person to contact + invite to have a presence at the Open House. He will include the link to the email list of reliable contacts for WG’s. Groups will have until Wednesday 3/28 to respond in order to be provided a space.             

-Bands – Katie and Farhad

*Brett lets Katie know that we want Anotonio to play the Open House. Check in with Farhad on Second line Band.

== OccupyBoston Internal Revenue Service and Banking Structure<br/> ==

For Occupy Boston to open a credit union account to track donations to the general fund, and any resulting OB expenses, OB needed an Employer Identification Number, provided by the IRS. Gregory Murphy obtained an EIN in the name of OccupyBoston. OccupyBoston's IRS address is OccupyBoston P. O. Box 51162, Boston, MA 02205 .

For the same reason and per credit union requirements, Gregory Murphy obtained a Certificate of Business from the City of Boston. That certificate lists Gregory Murphy dba (doing business as) Occupy Boston Financial Accountability Working Group. This is a temporary measure, simply to get an account open. OB's Financial Accountability Working Group is researching different potential organizational structures for OccupyBoston, and, at some point, will make a recommendation to the GA, in the form of a proposal.

Also, per a mediated Agreement (signed 11/1/11) with Paul Carnes and Sydney Sherrel, Mr. Carnes signed a Withdrawal of Business Certificate for the dba Occupy Boston, filed in his name. That certificate sits in escrow with mediator David Kelston, awaiting the fulfillment of all the  terms of the Agreement.  FAWG contends that FAWG, Mr. Carnes and Ms. Sherrell have satisfied the terms of the Agreement and that Mr. Kelston should deliver, to FAWG, the Withdrawal of Business Certificate dba Occupy Boston. Mr. Carnes and Ms. Sherrell contend that FAWG has violated the terms of the Agreement, have secured legal counsel, and are petitioning Mr. Kelston to return the  Withdrawal of Business Certificate dba OccupyBoston to them.  Mr. Kelston has called for another session (tentatively) set for Monday, 11/14/11, to come to terms with the dispute.

Once FAWG secures the Withdrawal of Business Certificate dba OccupyBoston, it intends to file the certificate at the City Clerk's office, and then, as soon as possible, secure a new Business Certificate dba OccupyBoston, to hold and protect, in the name of OccupyBoston, and as consented to by OccupyBoston's General Assembly, on 11/3/11.

On 10/25/11, members of FAWG opened an account at Liberty Bay Credit Union, in the name of Occupy Boston Financial Accountability Working Group, with a total deposit of $15,819.44, which included $5 LBCU gave OB for opening the account. As of 11/10/11, FAWG is in the process of moving funds donated to the WePay General Fund (over $30,000) to LBCU Savings Account. We wil decide, the week of 11/13, whteher to move the WePay Legal Fund (over $11,000) to a second savings account at LBCU, or to a trust, administered by FAWG consulting tax counsel.

''The following proposal was passed on January 1, 2012:''

Mutual Aid Amendment Proposal

*This proposal will supersede the previous Mutual Aid proposal of $5,000 that was consented to by the Occupy Boston General Assembly on December 20th, 2011.
*The purpose of the aid provided by this proposal is to provide transitional assistance to Occupy Boston activists who were most physically affected by the eviction of the Dewey Square encampment and the support network it provided. This will help members transition away from life in the encampment and also help them be more productive activists.The aid provided by this proposal is temporary. It will end January 29 or when the allocated funds of $4400 are exhausted, whichever comes first.
*Assistance proposed will include and be limited to: T-Passes, Food, Cell phones assistance, Occupant Hosting assistance
*To ensure that recipients of mutual aid are active members of Occupy Boston and the Dewey Square encampment, individuals must have signatures of two sponsors from the working groups in which the individual is an active member in order to receive assistance.
*All requests for aid must be made in writing and submitted to assigned members of the Mutual Aid Working Group (MAWG) at General Assemblies or MAWG meetings. Mutual Aid Working Group Members will review requests and then request the approved amount of money from the Financial Aid Working Group (FAWG). Aid will then be dispersed by MAWG at the following General Assembly. Other forms of aid will be dispersed via working groups, as described below.
*As this proposal is meant to provide transitional assistance, aid from this proposal will be available until January 29th, four weeks from now.
*Funds donated with the Mutual Aid WePay Button will be used to offset the $4,400 taken out of the General Fund, up to $4,400. Nearly $700 has been spent from the previous Mutual Aid proposal; this amount will be subtracted from the final week that this presented proposal is active.
*We ask the Media Working Group to help promote Occupy Boston Mutual Aid to help generate donations to it.
*Income checks are not required. We ask that those seeking aid are in need of assistance and remember that others are seeking funds as well.
*For members seeking individual support from their working groups, requests must be put in writing to the working group, and MAWG will collect written requests at General Assemblies in order to provide accountability and oversight.

T-Passes:

For T-Pass assistance, T-Passes will be distributed via working groups. From now until the 29th of January, working group weekly budgets will be allocated a separate budget of $45.00, with the $45 to be reserved for members of the working group to receive T-Passes. A total limit of $375 per week will be made for working group expenses outside the regular weekly budget. With the weekly limit of $375, Mutual Aid expenses for T-Passes will not exceed $1,500 over the four weeks that Mutual Aid will be active. $375/week is the cost of 25 $15 weeklong, unlimited T-Passes. Requests for the T-Pass aid are to be made using the standard working group disbursement request.

Food:

For food assistance, aid will be made in the form of gift cards to grocery stores. A limit of $25.00 per person per week will be made. Written requests are to be submitted to MAWG, and, if approved, will be made available at the following GA. A limit of $375 per week will be made for purchase of grocery store gift cards, carrying a four-week limit of $1,500.

Occupant Hosting Assistance:

For hosting displaced Occupants, $25 per week per hosted Occupant will be made available to hosts who seek it. A limit of $50.00 per week will be made for those housing multiple Occupants. For day-to-day hosts, $5/day will be made available, and $10/day for multiple Occupants, with weekly limits of $25 and $50, respectively. Funds will be dispersed directly to hosts after written requests, with written signatures of those hosted, are made to MAWG. A limit of $200/week will be made for Occupant Hosting, carrying a total four-week limit of $800.

Cell Phone Assistance:

For cell phone support, assistance will be made via working groups. One cell phone will be made available to working groups whose members require cell phone assistance, and up to a total of ten cell phones will be made available. Phones purchased will be available on a first-come first-serve basis. Cell phones made available by this proposal will be $20 to $30 Straight Talk phones, and a total of $35 from the Mutual Aid Fund will be spent on 4,000 minutes available for 30 days without rollover. These costs will be outside the weekly working group budgets. Total costs to the Mutual Aid Fund for cell phone support will not exceed $600. Requests for cell phones must be made by working groups, following standard FAWG weekly disbursement procedures. We will also seek donations of cell phones from within and outside the Occupy Boston community to offset costs.

'''Mailing List:''' <a href="[https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/climate-action https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/climate-action]">Click here for the signup page for our mailing list</a>

'''Discussion Board:''' [http://casej.boardhost.com http://casej.boardhost.com]

'''Meetings:''' Our next meeting will be Wednesday, March 14 at 6:30 p.m. at the Democracy Center (45 Mt. Auburn St in Cambridge on the edge of Harvard Square).

For an overview of our history and activities and our connections to the broader fight against the tar sands and the Keystone XL pipeline, see this article from the Boston Occupier:<span style="text-decoration: underline"></span>[http://bostonoccupier.com/2012/02/13/calling-foul-on-fossil-fuels/ http://bostonoccupier.com/2012/02/13/calling-foul-on-fossil-fuels]

== Draft Mission Statement<br/> ==

The Occupy Boston Climate Action, Sustainability and Environmental Justice (CASEJ) Working Group seeks to provide a space where members of the Occupy/99% Movement and their allies can come together to help create a more just and sustainable world, locally and globally. We will accomplish this goal by:

*Educating ourselves and our communities about climate change and the environmental issues and solutions before us;
*Building Alliances within and beyond the Occupy/99% Movement, without regard for ideology or tactical preferences, to increase our collective power; and
*Taking Direct Action to confront the social, economic and political forces causing environmental injustice and highlight a new paradigm for life on earth, both human and non-human.

== Upcoming Events and Actions<br/> ==

== Proposals<br/> ==

On February 4, 2012, members of CASEJ brought the following proposal to the Occupy Boston General Assembly, which was passed by consensus.  See also [http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/02/06/occupy-boston-supports-fossil-fuel-nuclear-subsidies/ http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/02/06/occupy-boston-supports-fossil-fuel-nuclear-subsidies.]

''The below proposal reached agreement at OB General Assembly, on February 4, 2012.''

Fossil fuel and nuclear corporations are some of the wealthiest interests on the planet – yet they still suck up billions of dollars in government subsidies. They buy off elected officials and corrupt our political process while sticking us – the 99% – with the bill for the health, ecological and climate destruction they cause. Their coal, oil, gas and nukes fuel our unjust economic systems, imperil our planetary future and prevent us from shifting to a clean energy economy of, by and for the people.

Occupy Boston therefore calls for:

*An end to all government subsidies to fossil fuel and nuclear energy interests;
*An end to corporate influence, including energy industry influence, on politics;
*Immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations to below the safe atmospheric threshold of 350 parts per million CO2e; starting with the rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline;
*A just transition for workers currently employed in fossil fuel and nuclear energy sectors to sustainable employment.

We pledge to make personal and group choices that support these aims.

== Meeting Process<br/> ==

[This protocol can be revised by proposing an amendment for consensus at group meetings]

'''Propose Climate Action, Sustainability and Environmental Justice Protocol'''

This set of guidelines assumes that collectively demanding respect for each voice, and

therefore establishing a system through which any individual can bring their perspective to the group as a whole, is critical in the building and growing of an effective movement. It assumes that this is especially crucial to achieving the goals of the Climate Action, Sustainability and Environmental Justice working group of Occupy Boston, as these goals require the formation of coalitions capable of effecting change both across a diverse political landscape as well as on a global scale. Demanding this requires establishing a clear means through which diverse perspectives can be voiced, that is agreed upon and modified by the groupʼs own participants. In establishing this we are seeking to both effectively collaborate within and outside of Occupy Boston, and to pursue the ideals, central to the Occupy movement, of horizontal participatory democracy. However, these guidelines will only be effective if each one of us takes responsibility for ensuring that everyoneʼs voice is present.

<br/>'''MEETING PROTOCOL'''

"Facilitation"

For each meeting designate...

1) Facilitator - At least one prepared, neutral, moderator for each meeting Note: the Facilitator sacrifices their own voice for the sake of ensuring that others are heard. This means that they withhold their own opinions when facilitating. 2) Stack Keeper - lists and keeps track of an agreed upon agenda 3) Note Taker 4) Time Keeper

These roles should rotate each meeting. Alternatively, one person can facilitate/ take

notes the first hour, and another person do this second hour. At the end of each meeting we ask someone to volunteer to facilitate the next meeting who has not done this in the past few weeks. They should have some experience, or be willing to familiarize themselves with the process before the meeting.

<br/><br/><br/>'''Meetings'''

Facilitator:

1) Welcome to the meeting 2) Introduce individuals helping to facilitate 3) Explain the process (hand signals etc.- mention that it is the responsibility of everyone to make sure everyoneʼs voice is respected) 4) Individual introductions: say your name and (X) 5) Take stack (list items to add to agenda- to be discussed in greater length after stack is taken) 6) We will come in with an agenda planned out, which will have some time allocated for new items added to stack (Decide weather group wants to modify order or time?) 7) Go through agenda in order agreed upon 8) If there is time: Additional things to add to the stack 9) Closing ceremony ;)

'''When Discussing Agenda'''

For all parts of the meeting excluding critical group proposals:

We discuss these points in the order decided, anyone can ask for a temp check, (We can discuss using formal process: raising hands and using hand signals etc. or informal process - informal group discussion. Anyone can propose we switch from one to the other, at which point facilitator will get quick temp check and proceed accordingly

'''For all critical proposals made to the group'''

(GA proposals, group statements, mission statement, parts of Wiki etc., requests for

funds, making changes to agreed upon protocol (this document after implementation): 1) When possible share this proposal at least a day in advance 2) Bring to the group for discussion (preferably in small groups) 3) Facilitator asks for statements of support (just what it sounds like) 4) Facilitator asks for statements of concern 5) Facilitator asks for friendly amendments: friendly changes people suggest in response to concerns and objections 6) The proposer(s) bringing this to the group may then choose to modify their proposal (incorporating the friendly amendments if they so decided) and then present the modified proposal to the group for steps 2-6. Otherwise, they may choose to table their proposal for the time being, or ask to bring it, unmodified, to a vote. Note: For the sake of expedience, if both proposers and group agree (meaning the proposers all agree and there are lots of twinkle fingers AND no objections from group), they can choose to skip a step and move directly to vote.

Voting: We do a formal vote, by show of hands. Proposal must have %75 support (might not be

perfect, but you are cool w/ it) to pass w/ no blocks (a strong principled opposition) “Note: The amendments offered are the response to concerns and objections. That proposers have the opportunity to consider amending their proposal is a way of addressing or resolving concerns and objections. The goal is to keep it non-confrontational and to focus on building solutions together by assuming that every input is a brick in a building and the next input is a brick placed above the foundation all the other bricks already laid.”

<br/><br/><br/>'''Quorum''' We will consider this on Jan. 9th and hold off on votes for proposals until that time

<br/><br/><br/>'''Committees'''

We will have a committee of three or more people manage each of these and

consider rotation every few months (these people must be in good working communication with each other):

Mailing list: we have one list and anyone can be added, managed by a List Committee

Wiki: the Wiki Committee will watch over the CASEJ wiki, helping to ensure a clear layout and accurate updates

Funds: Our Funding Committee keeps track of funding plans and logistics (including

proposals for funds that may conflict in a given week). All funding proposals should be brought to the group for a formal vote. In rare cases we may want to ask for funds directly at the GA which exceed $100.00. If we are asking for such money for the group, this should be through a proposal and formal vote within the group. Note: We will not need a Funding Committee until we decide we need funding.

GA Proposals: the GA Proposal Committee composes and presents a proposal to bring

to the GA, and then brings this to the group for revision or formal vote

<br/><br/><br/>'''Hand Signs''' (borrowed from Facilitation)

I suggests we learn these (but skip the “move it along” when possible and leave this to

the time keeper) a. I consent, I like, I feel good about this - hands up fingers wiggling upward b. Iʼm neutral, I feel so-so - hands flat with fingers wigging forward c. I donʼt consent, I donʼt like, I feel badly about this - hands down, fingers wigging downward d. Move it along, we hear what youʼre saying - roll fists around one another e. Speak louder - with index finger pointing up, move arm up and down Note: Indicate clearly that the following signals will bring a Floor Manager over to you in order to review your point and put it on a "mini-stack" for bringing to the floor when the current speaker reaches a natural break f. Clarifying Question - put index finger and thumb into ʻcʼ shape Note: define that a CQ is not an opinion. It must be answerable by the proposer(s) g. Point of Information - point index finger up Note: define that a POI is not an opinion. It is a fact relevant to the topic at hand. h. Point of Process - place tips of index finger together in horizontal line Note: define that a POP is not an opinion, it is a reminder to the Facilitators or Speaker about a point of order i. Friendly Amendment - “peace” sign j. Block - crossed arms over head NOTE: Blocks are generally considered to be an extreme measure, only used when a member feels a proposal endangers the organization or its participants and/or the person feels so strongly about her/his position, s/he will walk away from OccupyBoston.”

It presents a specific policy proposal called Carbon Fee and Dividend which would achieve gradually increasing costs for fossil fuels while shielding low income households from rising energy costs. It explains how implementation of this policy would stimulate economic growth to help undo the effects of the Great Recession.

Yahktoe:

(Formerly Inreach)

The Info WG aims to improve internal communications within Occupy Boston. We believe that enhanced communication and coordination within our community will allow us to advance the Occupy movement more effectively.

We assess the communication structures and gaps of the OB activist community and develop forums to enhance communication between working groups and individuals. We currently are meeting on Wednesday's at 5pm.

Right now we are working on developing a central Communication Hub (CommHub), a database run by OB volunteers to collect, organize and disseminate useful information for working group members. We believe the the successful implementation of this tool will allow us become a more cohesive social movement.

Please contact inreach@occupyboston.org to join the effort.

Our meetings are every Wednesday 5:30 - 7pm at United for a Fair Economy (29 Winter St., Boston)

''[Is this Working Group in Collaboration with OWS et al?][not sure, but we started a googlegroup for occupyUS that's already got members from other countries.'' [[http://groups.google.com/group/occupyus?hl=en]] this one is focused on logistics, and then there's the other national one that's focused on structuring a convention to meet in july. i can't find hte link, but will post here soon. if you're part of this working group, please tell people how to connect with you.]<br>
----
=Occupy Everywhere=
Occupy Everywhere is a working group dedicated to creating new occupations. It was launched during the Evening GA of October 12, 2011.

-A suggestion came out of the Students Occupy group today that we talk to the appropriate parties about occupying the Cambridge Commons, which is interestingly enough where George Washington first gathered his troops during the American Revolutionary War... here's a [[http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww2.cambridgema.gov%2Fcdd%2Fcp%2Fparks%2Fosmap.pdf&h=oAQANYARj link ]to a map of public parks in Cambridge (the commons is #6) and the number to contact would be the Cambridge DPW at 617-349-4800. This would be an excellent location for an auxiliary camp because it is a simple trip on the red line between Harvard and Dewey Square and is public land. There is also talk of specific campus occupations ongoing, but expansion is becoming a higher priority with every day that passes as we may start losing potential members of this wonderful community to lack of space!

Quick note from Kat: I have a list of email addresses and stuff that was discussed at a "mini-meeting" on Thursday night (well before the 11 PM meeting). Do we have anybody who is coordinating email communication yet? If so, can I send you the addresses?<br>
''Stuff that was discussed'':
* should we think about perhaps looking into organizing a blood donation drive to take place in the plaza in front of Dewey Square?
* list of places/organizations that either need help or could help us help people: soup kitchens, Rosie's Place, Pine St. Inn, religious centers
* a suggestion to start occupying everywhere by focusing on one community, getting a presence established there, then moving on to the next. I believe that we were primarily discussing Roxbury as a good place to start, since Jamal from Blackstonian has offered some assistance getting in touch with community leaders there.
Feel free to shoot me a message here or at ............Rum............Caek.......[at]..........gmail.com. (remove all those periods) Thanks!

<br>
10/17/2011 I think that before focusing on expanding to small towns, the efforts are better spent towards the Occupy Everywhere cause to create CONNECTIONS and UNITY among all the large HUBS around the country NY, Bos, LA, Chicago etc. ALL should be broadcasting a consistent Statement of Purpose that should start at OWS and permeate throoughout the Occupy movements around the country. The media would have a field day with different statements of purpose and different declarations of occupation from each city. We will not be heard if we don't UNIFY.

''Yet another note from Kat (10/18):''<br>
Hi, AnonymousObserver. You're raising some valid concerns here that I feel could be best addressed in an actual OE meeting, where it's far easier to communicate clearly than via Wiki. Perhaps you can make it to some of the meetings?

November 4, 2011 '''Message of unity from long-time community member and Safety team member, Carlos Ashmanskas'''

There are situations and incidents where no one has control over. There are no ways to diffuse a situation where those who use the process use it for their own agenda. The knowledge of a violent situation without action is in direct conflict with our mission statement of a peaceful assembly. The condoning of any violence is unacceptable. The enforcement of any violation for one but not another is inexcusable. Enforcing a peaceful block only to allow a person in camp knowing full well of his violent intentions is disturbing. Encouraging any violent incident to play out is detrimental. The willful denial of a possible deadly incident is an issue that needs to be addressed. The trust between Occupy Boston and the general public has to be restored, readdressed, and rebuilt. Whether or not anyone wants to acknowledge this camp is unsafe is beyond the point. As we currently encourage and invite others into the camp, it is our responsibility, and obligation to ensure this environment is safe. To enable, and ignore the problems are only further derailing our message that we are putting out to the general public. Achieving solidarity among all members of any single working group is one of the most beneficial goals to work towards in the short term. Maintaining the peace and creating a community that can function as a single element to enable us to communicate with the powers that be is a crucial step. We have won the camp. Mayor Thomas Menino has said that we can keep our camp as long as it is safe. If we want to celebrate this as a victory it is one’s own interpretation. Apparently we have not taken the camp from the very problems that plague the streets, cities, neighborhoods, and communities all around the world. This is not an isolated problem, and Occupy Boston is not immune to the social problems that exist in the world. Every night there is a new incident. Our camp is held in a darker shade of grey and continues to darken as the incidents grow more out of hand. It is only a random event at any given time that is needed to take any if any control out of our hand. We may be loyal to the movement, but loyalty to those who have entrusted us with this endeavor, whether it is through, money, tents, clothing, blankets, or words of support that is of the utmost importance. Failing to do so puts you in alliance to the forces that are constantly present waiting to squash this movement. They want to discredit you. Taking no action will only make us all be the ones discrediting it. By entering and interacting with this camp you understand the rules, and process that we are taking on in order to be best bringing about the best solutions through giving everyone’s a voice a stage in democracy. This process is perfect, but imperfect in action, but it is the process that we have agreed to because deep down we know it is the right thing to do. We must be united, and we must enforce this unity so that this unity is not broken by our own doing. There is no other way.

Yahktoe:

(Formerly Inreach)

The Info WG aims to improve internal communications within Occupy Boston. We believe that enhanced communication and coordination within our community will allow us to advance the Occupy movement more effectively.

We assess the communication structures and gaps of the OB activist community and develop forums to enhance communication between working groups and individuals. We currently are meeting on Wednesday's at 5pm.

Right now we are working on developing a central Communication Hub (CommHub), a database run by OB volunteers to collect, organize and disseminate useful information for working group members. We believe the the successful implementation of this tool will allow us become a more cohesive social movement.

Please contact inreach@occupyboston.org to join the effort.

Our meetings are every Wednesday 5:30 - 7pm at United for a Fair Economy (29 Winter St., Boston)

Yahktoe: moved Inreach to Info: WG Renamed

Aims to improve internal communications within Occupy Boston. We believe that enhanced communication and coordination within our community will allow us to advance the Occupy movement more effectively.

We assess the communication structures and gaps of the OB activist community and develop forums to enhance communication between working groups and individuals. We currently are meeting on Wednesday's at 5pm.

Right now we are working on developing a central Communication Hub (CommHub), a database run by OB volunteers to collect, organize and disseminate useful information for working group members. We believe the the successful implementation of this tool will allow us become a more cohesive social movement.

Please contact inreach@occupyboston.org to join the effort.

Our meetings are every Wednesday 5:30 - 7pm at United for a Fair Economy (29 Winter St., Boston)

Citizens United to End Political Bribery (CUEPB) is a Working Group pursuing the goal of getting corporate money out of politics.  We focus on realistic actions in Massachusetts, but also extend our efforts to nationwide politics.  This wiki page serves to collect information and discuss ideas before bringing proposals to Occupy Boston General Assembly.  Everything here should be considered a draft, unless conspicuously labeled otherwise.  To participate, come to one of our scheduled meetings or comment on the discussion tab for a page.  You can also edit a page, but we'd like to know who's involved, so please introduce yourself.

*Contact us at [mailto:citizensunited@occupyboston.org citizensunited@occupyboston.org]

== Background Information: ==

=== Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission Opinion ===

Full Text and Dissenting Opinion: [http://wiki.occupyboston.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._Federal_Election_Commission_Opinion]

*The minority dissenting opinion quoted at this link gives arguments against the Supreme Court's majority opinion. After a summary, the opinion continues (not quoted here,) describing in detail the laws and rulings related to corporate personhood.
*Under U.S. law, a corporation is a "corporate veil," protecting individuals inside a company from being prosecuted for the actions of the business. In 1886 the U.S. Supreme Court decided that corporations are entitled to many rights accorded to citizens, in its decision of ''Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Rail Road Co.''
*In 1907 Congress passed the Tillman Act, prohibiting corporations from donating money directly to national political campaigns. This still holds, but in January 2010 the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 (in ''Citizens United v. FEC'') that corporations can spend unlimited amounts on political advertisements as long as they don't directly coordinate that spending with an actual candidate.
*The ''Citizens United v. FEC'' decision invalidated protections that had existed in Massachusetts General Law, according to a March, 2010 ruling of the Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance. Many bills are now being introduced in Massachusetts and at the federal level to counteract the wide effects of last year's Supreme Court decision by restricting corporate money from influencing politics.

=== Campaign Finance Legislation (passed, pending,proposed) ===

*Click [http://wiki.occupyboston.org/wiki/Campaign_Finance_Legislation here] for a list of legislation

NOTE: See also, dissenting opinion, and the references below to prior cases setting the stage for CU.

=== Other Groups Working on This ===

I'd like to have a picture of all of this different groups who are working on reversing Citizens Unitied. This may not belong here, but, it does belong somewhere.

Strategic Planning

2012-03-09T23:54:49Z

Yahktoe:

Many will cheer. And many will groan. But the fact of the matter is...<br>
There is no [[http://managementhelp.org/strategicplanning/index.htm "'''Strategic Planning'''"]] working group in and of itself at Occupy Boston. Feedback appears to be that having "a" strategic planning group is too reminiscent of heirarchical structured centralized control that created this mess in the beginning...

And so... we are engaging in the type of "horizontal strategic coordination" that has been used by organizations working for "social change" for decades.

And if you are interested in planning, here are a few groups you may want to pay attention to.

= [[Strategic Action Planning]] =

This gruop is focusing on allocation of money as a basis for developing a "participatory action planning" process. Participatory Budgeting is on the menu this money. Help develop the process for OB by gettig your Work Group to fill out a form describing its goals and its need for resources to accomplish its mission.

= Strategic Roadmapping Exercises =

The [[http://wiki.occupyboston.org/wiki/Road_Map_Planning_Working_Group Roadmap Working Group]] is holding planning summits to help educate people on what strategic planning is. It is hoped that as more people understand the organizational tools available to them, that the Working Groups can be more coordinated. And we can leverage the strengths to overcome our weaknesses and address our opportunities. It is hoped that the tools will help the group prioritize and utilize resources more effectively.

= Ideas: Values/Principles =

The [[http://wiki.occupyboston.org/wiki/Ideas Ideas Working Group]] is gathering up "concerns" that brought people to the movement. The group discusses "large social issues" and frames the discussion which will lead to specific reforms/actions. The group meets online via an email listserv, and also meets in person. Most recently, the group has been focusing on distilling the concerns that have been gathered in recent weeks.

= Strategies, Proposals, Positions =

The [[http://wiki.occupyboston.org/wiki/Strategies,_Proposals,_Positions Strategies, Proposals, and Positions Working Group]] (also known as "SPP")is primarily an online listserv (no onsite meetings). The group discusses reforms and ideas to get to those reforms. And then posts the ideas on the [[http://wiki.occupyboston.org/wiki/Strategies,_Proposals,_Positions SPP Working Group page]]. The group focuses on long term objectives for "more technical" aspects of reforms, like what to do about banking regulation. For more "human-centric" topics, like "social objectives" like "justice" and what that means, see the Ideas Working Group in the next paragraph.

= Tactics: Direct Action and Outreach =

The [[http://wiki.occupyboston.org/wiki/Direct_Action]] Direct Action group and the [[http://wiki.occupyboston.org/wiki/Outreach Outreach group]] are working on planning their tactics. They are organizing "Action Summits" to gather and prioritize ideas for action, and timeline them. Obviously, if we're to have a "diversity of tactics", having them all laid out isn't good. But as a movement, if the different planning groups have a sense of what the tactics groups want to do, we're better able to plan. And if the tactics groups can benefit from the strategic groups, all the better.

'''The Tactical Task Force Proposal (passed Jan 28, 2012)'''

''Or... Tactical Super Working Task Cluster Force Group X-treme (temporary) Dictator Spokes''

We propose, as a working group, to begin open and announced meetings to discuss our next actions in anticipation of the American Spring. The Tactical... is a super working group made up of the Direct Action WG, Logistics WG and Signs WG.

We propose that $14,000 of the general fund be earmarked for Occupy Boston's future occupation. None of this amount can be disbursed until March 1, with the consent of the GA.

Setting aside $14,000 will give Tactical a budget to work from. It will allow us to plan properly for supplies needed and know that the funds exist when the time comes. It will be an investment in the future of Occupy Boston.

The Tactical... will set up a WePay account as soon as possible in order to raise funds.

Any money that comes into the WePay account can be spent autonomously by The Tactical Task Force.

If more than $14,000 is raised by the autonomous WePay account, the earmarked funds will then be released back into the open General Fund. The Tactical... will work closely with FAWG to provide receipts for accountability and transparency while maintaining good security culture.

The goal is to camp in a legal camping area.

Womens Caucus

2012-03-09T23:46:42Z

Yahktoe: moved WG/Womens Caucus to Womens Caucus over redirect: naming convention

=== Description ===

The Women's Caucus is a forum for those who identify as women to: discuss issues of gender, promote participation of those who identify as women in working groups, discussion, and other leadership roles, maintain the safety of those who identify as women within the movement and provide resources to improve the retention of those who identify as women. Our meetings are open to anyone who identifies as a woman.

=== Contact ===
Feel free to contact us at [mailto:obwomen@occupyboston.org obwomen@occupyboston.org]. Please use that email and do not email our mailing list directly unless you are a member: all messages not from members will automatically bounce.

=== Meetings ===

Meetings occur '''Saturday afternoons, 2:30-4:30pm. Location: Encuentro 5 (E5), 33 Harrison Ave, 5th floor, Boston. Please remember that our meetings are open to all women, but women *only.*

Next Meeting: Saturday, March 3, 2012. Note special time change to: 2:00-4:30pm (we will be overlapping our meeting for the first hour [2-3:00pm] with the Safer Spaces working group).

=== Membership ===

At this time only those who identify as women can attend our meetings and join our very active [http://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/womenscaucus mailing list]. We also have a [http://www.facebook.com/groups/290899497595996/ Facebook group] which is, again, open to members who identify as women. Please note that although only members can post to that group, anyone can read the posts. Also note that anyone can edit this (or any other) wiki page. If you read something odd here, that's probably why.

'''Allies:'''

If you do not identify as a woman you can still be a good ally to our group and to women in general. Actively advocate in mixed groups and among other men for women's safety in the movement (and beyond), more prominent roles for women in the movement (and beyond) and regularly challenge sexist language and assumptions wherever you hear them.

=== Past Events ===

Transparency and Accountability Standards

2012-03-09T23:41:48Z

Yahktoe:

Transparency and accountability are critical to being able to include a diverse and wide enough body of people to truly be "for the people" and "by the people".

Occupy Boston's [[http://wiki.occupyboston.org/wiki/Declaration_of_Occupation Declaration of Occupation]] tell us that "We are committed to living the values of transparency, equality, accountability, awareness, sustainability, and compassion as we struggle against corporate predation, injustice, and oppression."

This working group will discuss "the future of the movement", in terms of how to ensure that what we do is both inclusive and transparent enough to be held accountable by its people.

Some of the questions that we may want to discuss:

How does a lack of transparency provide an opportunity for people to exclude others from the conversation?

Do we want to be "at least as good" as the government that we are criticising as "not transparent or accountable enough"?

Is there a fine line between the freedom to create and too much transparency?

What is that line?

How do we empower people, while also having an appropriate amount of transparency?

What do we consider "inclusive enough"? What forms of media are necessary, as a group, to notify people of meetings, discussions, etc, so that they can be part of those discussions?

Do we want "actual rules", guidelines? Or just a place to discuss conventions that we wish to try to respect?

What do we do about "affinity groups"?

*

Specific guidelines could be things like

1. how long before/after a new WG meets for the first time should it:

- tell the GA that it exists? <br>
- start posting its meetings? <br>
- post a page on the wiki with info about how to join? <br>

2. does a concall or email list exchange constitute a "first meeting"?

3. how much time before a meeting should an agenda be posted?

4. what should the maximum time after a meeting be, before minutes are posted?

5. do meeting have to be in public spaces? or are private homes that aren't accessible to the public OK?

6. can WG members talk about meeting topics outside of the email lists and/or public meetings?

In general, transparency activists "demand" that governmental groups post agenda 48 working hours before a meeting. And that only posted topics be discussed at a meeting.

Background:

A rather long discussion about this topic occurred at the 2/2/12 GA that was cancelled due to lack of quorum. Kendra took notes, which will be available soon. There were 15-20 people there. Some came, some left.

People may want to review the Massachusetts Open Meeting Law guide, which was a hard fought for level of transparency in Massachusetts that became a standard for the country:

http://www.mass.gov/ago/docs/government/oml-guide-032411.pdf

Full details on the law are available here:

http://www.mass.gov/ago/government-resources/open-meeting-law/

Contact: volunteer@occupyboston.org for more info.

An in person meeting time is not set up yet. But there will be discussion online. Please contact us if you are interested in developing transparency standards.

Back in 2011, the [[http://wiki.occupyboston.org/wiki/WG/Transparency Transparency Working Group]] was started, primarily to provide transparency "among" WGs. The Transparency Standards WG is for discussiong standards for "practices".

Individual Action

2012-03-09T23:39:35Z

Yahktoe:

Here's a list that we can refer to when people say, "but what can I actually DO to help "the movement". Here are some ideas:

ECONOMIC VOTING (vote w/yo buck):

- buy local

- move your money from big-bank to local credit union (credit unions are run by members who control the direction/policies)

- buy from "responsible companies", who support living wages for their employees and practice environmentally responsible sourcing.

-- what a more detailed definiton of a "responsible company?" [http://wiki.occupyboston.org/wiki/Set_of_ethical_business_practices get a defintion here]

-- see a list of what our volunteers think are [[Responsible Companies]]

- support healthy food chains (buy local, eat as much organic as you can, try not to support toxic chemical companies, make new page w/details]

LOCAL GOVERNMENT

- get involved in your local government. going to meetings and voicing concerns (about things like [make page] how the government uses toxins in its operations, how it acts exclusive by not having things online, over spending impact on middle class, better housing practices to promote rooming houses, etc.) Government is controlled by the people that actually go to the meetings.

- register to vote (yeah, a lot of us don't like "the system", but we're in it, so let's at least vote)

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL OCCUPATION

- Camp, Cook food, bring blankets, donate cash, come and volunteer, march, hold signs
- START A WORKING GROUP!
- volunteer@occupyboston.org

MARCH/PROTEST/HOLD A SIGN

- get involved with local activists who care about the same issues you do.

- MARCH! it's good exercise! and keeps the issues in the media

- make up a BIG SIGN out of cardboard and stand on any street corner. Check out the Sign Tent for inspiration on what to say on your sign. Or just say what you mean!
