Dear Somerville Occupiers and Occupiers of the T:

In addition to rocking the house at our own Somerville MBTA public hearing
on Feb. 28th at Somerville High School, we--as a Boston-wide
movement--really need people to volunteer to attend the remaining MBTA
hearings in other cities and towns as well.

This request comes out of (great and substantial!) discussions we had last
night at our Occupy the MBTA meeting last night.

I will send around the detailed notes to this meeting asap....For now just
make a note that two major city (and if possible *state*-) wide actions are
being planned:

*One targetting the MBTA Board's final pre-decision meeting on March 14*.

 The other, a *"Wisconsin-style" People's Assembly and Speak-Out at
(occupation of?) the Mass Statehouse on April 4th.*  April 4th being the
date that the Board is supposed to hand down their "final" decision.)

*Fliers for both events should be ready by early next week*.

But in the meantime, *we need people to step up and help us organize the
energy and the outrage that continues to show up at these MBTA hearings!  *

Please post to this list if you can make any of the meetings below:

 These are the dates of the remaining Boston area hearings...exact
locations on MBTA website

Monday,Feb 27, Winthrop, 6-8pm
Tues, Feb 28. Somerville, 6-8
Wednesday,Feb 29, Cambridge, 6-8
Thursday, March 1, Waltham, 6-8
 Tuesday,March 6, Revere,6-8
Monday,March 12,Brighton,6-8

We are looking for at least 4 people to be at each hearing to take
responsibility for:

**handing out flyers f*or the two actions,
**collecting names and contact info* for potential speakers at the two
actions, to add to our contact list
**videotaping/film/photo* short clips of people telling their stories (
those who are powerful or any that were unable to speak at the hearings) or
pic of them with a whiteboard message..we want to edit all this and have
video/pic at our two actions esp at Statehouse assembly and speak out...

Vounteers, please?

-Joe
