Working Group Mission Statement
The Ideas working group will actively seek out the contributions from the Occupy Boston encampment, its community of supporters, and from society at large. It will develop transparent and inclusive methods of organizing these ideas in order to facilitate their exchange and development. We will also host open discussions on widely held concerns and values, as well as around important questions of strategy.
The next OBIdeas Public Discussion will be: Friday, 4 November, 7-9 in the GA Area. What do you want to discuss? vote here
Working group meetings (open to all): Sunday, 31 October 9:30-11 pm location: meet at the Gandhi statue Wednesday, 2 November 6-7 pm location: South Station Mezzanine (2nd floor above/behind McDonalds)
