No No No! We love ACE and TRU! They're so important for this campaign.<div><br></div><div>I should amend what I said before. MBTA is a task force. We should be putting a lot of energy into that. We already are. There's tons of people involved. BUT, we should ALSO be doing other campaigns. It's tax season, and I hope that we can continue work with Massuniting around their taxdodger campaign. I just got off the phone with Darrin, and he was really positive about where we are going. CLVU has been doing awesome stuff and I'd love to take a page, or 150 from their book. And we should be learning from other Occupies, too. Look at what Oakland is doing this weekend:</div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="http://occupyoaklandmoveinday.org/">http://occupyoaklandmoveinday.org/</a></div><div><br></div><div>why not us? I've been in contact with folks from OO and hopefully I will get a positive report back when I speak with them this week. Obviously the major planning for something like that should not be done over email, but... that's pretty radical and I'd love to talk to you folks about doing something like that. Friday at Democracy Center? Saturday at Anna's?</div>

I think we need to create momentum and unity in OB on this issue and to do that we have to have interesting things for people to do..while they also leaflet...hope some ideas will be generated in SOmerville tonight.</div>
<div><br></div><div>so to keep the issue front and centered I would be willing to go to GA tonight ( where is it?) to report back from Street Working Group on the leafletting last night, encourage folks to address MBTA creatively at CASA's gathering on MOnday..and to make sure folks have leaflets to hand out on their own..and to get folks to sign up for MBTA list/attend the Action Summit on Sunday..we should also plan for another leafletting..maybe before CASA Community Gathering at Park St on Monday???<br>
</div><div>Lee is frustraed by the many OB folks who are contacting him and our apparent lack of organization in OB..i think Street should act as the Official Occupy Boston MBTA working group protem whose main purpose now is to coordinate with Somerville and Community groups and to get some actions rolling while we are thinking of down the road.The next meeting of the community groups is on January 30 and 'Maureen' (dont know who that is)..scheduled a OB mtg with Ace on Feb 8 or 9..the later is quite confusing and adds to Lee's confusion..</div>
<div>I am not sure how long I could stay at the Street mtg..begin at 5 if I meet with Lee at 6.but think we should look at Brett's time line..</div><span><font color="#888888"><div>Ridgely..</div></font></span><div>

<div>I don't know if there is a meeting before the Occupy the T meeting tonight, but I can't make it one way or another because of personal issues. the way I see it, MBTA is a task force, and we have other things we can be doing to. Unfortunately, I'm not able to bottomline anything else, although I have a lot of ideas. Maybe in a few meetings we'll be able to flesh out other ideas.</div>

<div>I am just wondering where we are..I know Brett proposed a mtg in Central Sq sounds good but..first, i am wondering what the agenda is going to be..</div>
<div>and if street is taking on more than MBTA right now..I personally,would like to see Street keep the focus primarily there to try to build up some momentum in OB before moving on to anything els..maybe with enough energy MBTA could become its own working group..a goal?</div>
<div>But given that about 4-6 of us were able to easily had out 1000 flyers in 1.5 hours re the MBTA, seems like we should focus on that and get more people to do it and more consistent presence..with a consistent group of 10-15 we could do street theater, including singing, need a banner..also should go over flyers and make sure we have a generic one..we can get tons of copies and make them available at GA for all to take.</div>
<div>If we are having a mtg, should I make more of the 'green' flyers to give to someone who is going to GA tonight(it deals with bailed out bank debt)??? or wait til we agree on a generic one?</div>
<div>I want to make sure there really is a mtg since I could always spend the time with work stuff..if so can Brett repeat the address?</div><span><font color="#888888">
