I love the idea of a traveling GA!  Could we experiment with this at the
Crowdsourced Unity Day of Action, Saturday December 3?  Briefly, this is a
day of distributed action--marches, street theater, speakouts, etc.--around
the city.  I've copied the list for this day of action here; also check out
occupyunity.eventbrite.com
