*Explain goal of the evening: have everyone collectively generate a statement of Occupy Boston's values that can act as a guide of what to add to the [[Statement of Purpose]]
SENTENCES that cam out of the meeting:
*Why not focus on actions, demands, methods tonight? One of our goals in the Ideas group is to ''try'' to help grow a statement that all of Occupy Boston can get behind. One idea to do this is to start with VALUES.
*Examples of switching&nbsp;actions, demands, methods and statements to VALUES:
**"go after your congressman!" -> &nbsp;value:&nbsp;accountability
**"correct fundamental inequalities" -> value:&nbsp;fairness
**"shouldn’t demonize conservatives because they disagree" -> value:&nbsp;inclusivity


[[Examples of]]how Values translate into Action.
*In an effort to create a more just and sustainable socitey, we will strive to embody the values of: inclusivity, honesty, non-violence, comapssion, cooperation, and ecological integrity.
*We seek to foster a cuture of inclusivity, a practice of sustainability, and a spirit of compassion.
*We beleive that in working towards change, we need to pread knowledge while maintainin a unity based on respect


*We will have 3 parts of the meeting:

[[File:Ideas values raw.png|300x358px|RTENOTITLE]]\


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:
