Dear fellow T-riders and activists:

Occupy the T in the front page of two Boston papers today.

1)  *The Boston Metro *featured us on the front page!  It's just a short
story
but it shows already that this campaign is capable of garnering a LOT of
media attention, public interest...and support!

2)  *The new Boston Occupier*, has a substantial, very informative and
useful article on page on about Occupy and the T hike/cuts.
http://bostonoccupier.com/2012/01/17/free-charlie-occupy-activists-take-on-the-t/
Read it and forward it widely as well!

*This makes the new Occupier issue a great outreach and organizing vehicle*.
(There's lots of other good stuff in it as well!)

If people can, THIS Wednesday, (tomorrow!), any time after noon, please go
down to Encuentro Cinco (aka E5)
at 33 Harrison Avenue (in Chinatown, near Downtown Crossing)  to
*PICK UP A STACK OF THEM TO PASS OUT AT T and BUS STOPS and STATIONS* near
you!

Also, one more time, I have attached a touched up version of an "Occupy the
T" full page leaflet.  Please print as many as you can and distribute
widely!
Let's strike while the iron is hot! (Note: after printing, but before
copying this, you might write on the margins that
*there is a Rally and March planned at the State House for Monday, Jan 23rd
at Noon and at 5pm.*

Free Charlie!
-Joe
