Hey all,

I sent to following email to about 40 of my closest friends within Occupy
Boston. If any of you are willing to do send an edited version of this
email encouraging people you know to help with the A4 outreach effort that
would be amazing!

See email below:

Hi friends,

*I am reaching out to each of you because I need your help, OccupyMBTA
needs your help! *As you hopefully all know Occupy MBTA and Occupy Boston
put out a call for a National Day of Action for Public Transportation on
April 4th (
http://www.occupyboston.org/2012/03/03/ob-calls-national-day-action-public-transportation/).
We all know that public transportation fights are happening across the
country and this is a national issue. Occupations from Portland to
Pittsburgh have come on board (and many others). Also, The Amalgamated
Transit Union, the largest labor organization representing transit workers
in the US and Canada, has pledged its support for the April 4 National Day
of Action for Public Transportation (
http://occupymbta.org/2012/03/20/transit-union-endorses-april-4-national-day-of-action-for-public-transportation/)
On April 4th we will stand up together, and elevate our voices to a
national level calling for Public Transportation for the 99%!

While we have had great success getting in touch with some occupations, it
has also been difficult. We really need your help over the next few days to
spread the word as much as possible across the nation before our
InterOccupy conference call this TUESDAY at 9pm EST (
Interoccupy.org/Transportation <http://interoccupy.org/Transportation>) .
For many occupations, they won't be able to pull off a huge action with a
week to plan but they can definitely take part in the day of action. If we
can get them on board in the next few days it would make the day so much
more successful. So, I am asking each of you if you can forward some
version of the email below to anyone you know in other cities. Anyone
involved in occupy or community groups who could spread the word!

I'll try to follow up with you all about this tomorrow or Monday but if you
can let me know if you are willing to help out for A4 in this way that
would be AMAZING. Point of LOVE to you all.


Hey Friend (or whatever you want to call them!)

I am reaching out to make sure you know about the National Day of Action
for Public Transportation on April 4th. Occupy Boston called for this day
of action because we have a particularly vicious public transportation
fight here and we all know that public transportation fights are happening
across the country. This is a national issue. Occupations from Portland to
Pittsburgh have come on board (and many others) and we want you all to be
involved too! Also, The Amalgamated Transit Union, the largest labor
organization representing transit workers in the US and Canada, has pledged
its support for the April 4 National Day of Action for Public
Transportation (
http://occupymbta.org/2012/03/20/transit-union-endorses-april-4-national-day-of-action-for-public-transportation/
)

 Would you be willing to help me out by spreading the word within your
occupation about this? Could you contact specific people who might be
interested? Could you announce this at GA? Occupy Boston will be hosting
the third  InterOccupy Conference Call to discuss A4 on TUESDAY at 9PM EST.
Do you think you could get some folks who might be interested in planning
to participate in this call? (More info and to register
InterOccupy.org/transportation <http://interoccupy.org/transportation>)

If anyone is interest in getting involved or wants to know about the
progress so far, please have them contact Ariel from Occupy Boston (
