Hey facilitation and other folks,<div><br></div><div>Just wanted to let you know about an exciting idea that came up in the Dec 3rd Unity march meeting at 26 West st a few hours ago.</div><div><br></div><div>For those who don't know, This is the ad-hoc working group organizing the distributed march which is starting from various points and constituencies (BU students, Building trades workers, Ocupemos El Barrio, DA folks, Dewey square folks, FSU/teachers, etc). Each group is going to march from some point in the city towards Copley Square where we will converge together for a large Unity rally for the 99%. </div>
<div>There will be people from many different backgrounds and sectors of the 99% and it is a unique opportunity to welcome them all into the movement, united together. </div><div><br></div><div>The exciting idea was: why not do Saturday's GA in Copley Square? We will have lots of energy, lots of people, including new people, and we can immediately include them in the democratic process so they can participate in shaping the direction of the movement. (Also, we need to practice doing GAs in places other than Dewey. And in spaces larger than Dewey's GA space.) </div>
<div>Finally, mass support and participation of this kind is exactly what we will need to figure out what to do about the impending police crackdown, among other burning issues for the growth and development of our movement. </div>
<div><br></div><div>So, I think/hope there will be a proposal at tomorrow's GA about moving Saturday's to Copley Square. I cannot be at GA tomorrow because I will be at an OEB working group meeting, but my formulation of the proposal would be something minimal, simple, and easy-to-pass like: </div>
<div><br></div><div>"In order to welcome the participants of the distributed unity march of December 3rd into our movement, Occupy Boston will hold its regularly-scheduled General Assembly for that day in Copley Square."</div>
<div><br></div><div>Is someone else willing/able/already planning to bring a proposal of this nature to GA tomorrow?</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Brian</div>
