• Occupy 101 briefly describes the fundamentals of Occupy Boston.
• Strategies (Strategies, Proposals, Positions) - This Working group is dedicated to discussing societal issues, determining their root causes, and responding with actionable proposals.
• Optimistic visions - the primary idea is to generate a store of positive ideas that we can contemplate, share, and work to manifest.

Find a meeting on the Calendar produced by Media working group. (Click the agenda tab, it is much more readable then). This calendar agenda is also on the right side of the http://occupyboston.org main site. Be sure to attend a General Assembly to 'see what democracy looks like' and help to develop a consensus. General Assemblies are usually at 7:00 PM on Tuesday and Thursday and 5:00 on Saturday and Sunday, but they are in flux after the recent eviction, so check the Calendar to be sure.
