Decolonize To Liberate
A Working Group of Occupy/Decolonize Boston
(formerly the Indigenous Solidarity and Outreach Working Group)
As a signal to the national “Occupy” movement and to members of First Nations (Indigenous Peoples) who have felt excluded by the colonialist language used to name this movement, it shall be declared that “Occupy Boston” aspires to “Decolonize Boston” with the guidance and participation of First Nations.
[Excerpt from the Statement of Solidarity with Indigenous Peoples introduced by this working group and passed by the Occupy Boston General Assembly on October 8, 2011. Read the full resolution, here.]

Meetings held each Friday, 5:00 - 7:30 PM
