I'd like to be able to look at the calendar and see actions (not just DA, flyering etc.) as opposed to workshops, etc. Color coding? Do you all send out alerts to the whole email list when there's a big action, like on Monday? | I'd like to be able to look at the calendar and see actions (not just DA, flyering etc.) as opposed to workshops, etc. Color coding?

The congressional super committee looks sure to make massive cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, public education and all public services. One of the super committee members is John Kerry who's office and home are both downtown. We should join with the [http://jobsnotcutsprotest.org Jobs Not Cuts Campaign] and build actions protesting cuts to public services.

Found it on the Outreach website:
We are seeking 100 supporters to join eviction blockade with City LIfe / Vida Urbana this Monday. On Monday at noon, there will be an eviction blockade and rally at a home that is being foreclosed on in Malden. If you are interested in participating in this action, please coordinate with Katie (katie.gradowski@gmail.com) or check in with Nicole at the direct action tent to see how you can help.

Move Your Money Day, 11/5---support & provocative flyering?
Is there anything planned? I sent a flyer to the email address on the flyer page of the ob website. Do you have access to photocopying? I'd love to do some special handmade "invitations" with Arts & Culture. It would help to have an event planned to flyer.
I scouted out two or three events; if the weather is nice, we could just go to Post Office Park at lunch time.

June-teenth General Strike
June-teenth General Strike
This is a very big holiday within the African American community. Planning a large demonstration on that day, 6/19 (?), would give folks something to look forward to that is inclusive and takes a lot of planning, like a whole winter of it. I met two women tonight with a contact who makes large lighting displays; this is kind of thing he'd be into. Gunner from Arts and Culture said that someone has approached her about Spring Commitee? I disagree with making this a Washington dc demo; poor people won't go. A General Strike has to be every where. More importantly, June is the end of the Fiscal (budgeting) year for many large co.s .
