Hi Everyone from Street/Outreach:

We are sending this letter to the Bay State Banner, and trying to find
multiple working groups to sign on. As far as I know we so far have Ideas,
Info, Facilitation; and are looking for Outreach and Street to sign on as
well. What are peoples' thoughts? We would need a response on this asap

best
Kevin


To the Editor:



Occupy Boston appreciates being recognized by the Bay State Banner (“A
fight for the middle class, “editorial, Jan. 5) as being part of a “new
coalition to confronting the income disparity that is annihilating the
middle class.” We would like to add our voice to the Banner's call for
"African Americans to join the battle to assure that the world’s greatest
economy benefits all its citizens." And of course, we want that involvement
to include flooding our organization with volunteers!



At this time, the Ideas Working Group of Occupy Boston is in a “collect and
reflect” phase of outreach to many communities to hear and discuss all our
concerns and ultimately craft political objectives for the Occupy Boston
movement intended to represent the highest aspirations of the 99%.



Many objectives, such as ending corporate personhood, outrageous wealth
inequality and political bribery, are hot topics within the Occupy Boston
community. However, the only goal that has actually been endorsed to date
by our governing body, the General Assembly, is "prioritizing the needs of
the many before the profits of the few." With this letter, we extend a
special invitation to readers of the Bay State Banner to add their voices
to this important process. The Ideas Working group meets twice weekly and
can be reached at [insert email address].



[Two or more co-signers]
Ideas Working Group, Occupy Boston
