**"correct fundamental inequalities" -> value:&nbsp;fairness
* [[Concerns Data]]
**"shouldn’t demonize conservatives because they disagree" -> value:&nbsp;inclusivity

*We will have 3 parts of the meeting:
* [[Future of Occupy]].  These are notes from the June 1st 2012 Popular Assembly meeting.  Ideas did not plan/organize this meeting.  However, the material is similar to some of the work that ideas has been doing.
* [[Declaration of Occupation]]
* [[Occupy Boston Summit Notes]].  Also, notes from the [[Occupy Boston Summit Notes - Overflow Room|overflow room]]


1. Overview of collected responses for the past few weeks to the question: "What are the values that we, as Occupy Boston, all share?" here are word clouds made from this collected information:

[[Category:Inactive Working Groups]] [[Category:Ideas WG]].
 
We will break out into groups and add change, and discuss this list. We will then come back to the larger group and report on small group break out discussions.
 
2. We will break out into new groups and decide on what values on this list do people feel should go into the [[Statement of Purpose]]. This could be any amount of values, but we are suggesting 2-5 for this first attempt. We will then come back to the larger group and report on small group break out discussions.
 
3. Lastly, we will split again into groups and see if we can write a sentence or two that expresses the values collaboratively decided in Step 2 into the [[Statement of Purpose]]. Groups can start:
 
*with a BLANK piece of paper
*a copy of the [[Statement of Purpose]] to edit, or
*have an action question that they are answering: - What are the values, that we, as Occupy Boston Share? or: - What is the mission, that we, as Occupy Boston Share?
 
We will then come back to the larger group and report on small group Statements and edits. This will go a long way to adding to the [[Statement of Purpose]]
 
'''Followup''' We will post all of the Statements and notes from this meeting in a new page called [[Values Addendum to Statement of Purpose]] as well as post the proposed changes to the [http://main.wirite.org/documents/20/ Occupy Boston Statement of Purpose] on the site [http://wirite.org Wirite] where the changes can continue to be worked on:
