	~~The~~ following proposal was passed ~~at the General Assembly the evening of December 20~~, ~~2011~~:		This following proposal was passed on January 1, 2012:

	~~''' ~~Mutual Aid ~~Working Group~~ Proposal~~'''~~		Mutual Aid Amendment Proposal

	~~The~~ Mutual Aid ~~Working Group proposes~~ that we, as the ~~OB family~~, ~~set aside 5K~~ from the ~~general fund~~ for members of the ~~OB family who are facing hard times~~ with ~~limited-~~to~~-no income~~. ~~The use~~ of ~~the~~ funds ~~would include but not~~ be ~~limited~~ to the ~~following:~~		*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.

	1- ~~$25 a week for an individual to house each houseless OB family member if the host accepts~~		T-Passes:

	2- 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.

	~~3- Winter gear not provided by logistics~~		Food:

	4- ~~Emergency housing funds if OB individuals can’t provide accommodations~~		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.

	~~5- Undergarments~~		Occupant Hosting Assistance:

	6- ~~“Non~~-~~essential” bills like cell phones or utilities~~		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.

	In order to be fair and transparent, an individual must have 2 OB sponsors to verify that they are indeed OB activists and in need. Individuals will be asked to fill out a request form with info from these sponsors (form will be attached).		Cell Phone Assistance:

	~~The need for Autonomy is key~~. ~~This proposal~~ will go to ~~those OB~~ members ~~with income~~, to be ~~fair as even people with jobs and homes face tough choices~~. ~~Knowing that some will not want to identify themselves openly, confidentiality~~ will be ~~protected. We ask that individuals self~~-~~identify and assess their own level of need, i~~.~~e., there~~ will be ~~no income checks.~~		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.

	~~We propose~~ to ~~identify 3 members from FAWG as the main people to disburse funds at GA who will keep copies of these forms~~ and ~~keep~~ a ~~running tally of funds disbursed.~~

	~~We propose that a weekly allotment~~ of $~~200 go toward~~ the ~~advance purchase of weekly T passes to~~ be ~~distributed at GA to anyone who needs them.~~

	~~Some charities have suffered in this economy and this is how to help our brothers and sisters within the Occupy Movement~~, ~~and where many may not meet the criteria from outside agencies~~. ~~To augment these funds there~~ will the ~~creation of a We Pay button~~.

	~~This is a temporary proposal meant~~ to support ~~occupiers in need until such time as we can acquire permanent housing~~ for ~~our movement and members~~.

	We will ~~revisit this proposal on a month-to-month basis for possible revision based on how well it is working.~~
