Tentative Planning Meeting Agenda

6:00 - Community Gathering Please join us for refreshments and socializing in Room 920B

6:20 - Introduction Welcome to Occupy Boston and thank you for coming to this planning meeting for “The Rally and Summit to Unite Citizens for Democracy.” The goal of this event is to educate people and see if we can inspire them to find solutions to the very complex problem of corporate and special interest influence over a government that was created for the people. All of you have a specific expertise. The goal of this meeting is for us to brainstorm ideas and figure out how to work together on this event and make sure attendees leave feeling that they have participated in a productive and meaningful way.

6:30 - Break Out Groups Please use this time to break out with representatives from other neighboring organizations and answer the following questions. Try to do this with people you don’t already know. What goals do your organizations have for participating in this day? What do you want people to leave this event knowing? What do you want to teach them? What do you want people to do when they leave this event? How can your organization help people come up with a strategy for action?

7:00 - Report Backs Please have one person from your group report back the answers to these questions. These answers will be combined with feedback from our Community Gathering on January 2.
