Hi all,

Last night Cheri presented (either after presenting at a earlier GA or being pushed to this one) a proposal requesting $5000 to support houseless members of Occupy Boston with different expenses. Susan and I were at GA also. A number of people in the GA spoke strongly for the need like something to pass right away. A lot of people had questions, concerns, and amendments also. Cheri decided she would table the proposal so she could work with people on it and present it as the first agenda item on Tuesday.







Can folks reply if they can make the meetings below on Monday or Tuesday? Usually I'd say just to reply to me, but in this case because of the need, if you can reply back to your own list (anti-oppression, community organizations, outreach, and people of color) so we can keep track together of who can go. (I'm planning on going part of Tuesday although not Monday.)







(1) If you are houseless, can you come to the following meetings, and let us know if you need support (transportation, food, etc.) to get there? If you know houseless people in Occupy Boston, can you come, let people know about the following meetings, and support people to be there?






(2) If you can help support working on the plan, please come to St. Paul's at 138 Tremont Street tonight (Monday) at 6:00. There is a community gathering / open house that night which folks are invited to generally anyway, and that Occupy Boston is hoping people from different groups can come to in order to help tell the general public what they do. Cheri is meeting with Gunner Scott and any additional people who want to help then -- Gunner is connected with a community-led and -driven group that supports transgender youth and adults with expenses, so he'll be sharing tips, forms, etc. from that group. It'll take a chunk of work and planning to make this really work though and for it to get through GA.







(3) Tuesday night at 7:00, Cheri's proposal is the first on GA. She held it down Sunday and had some folks speaking in strong support, but it would be helpful to have additional people there to support.

Peace, community, justice,






- George
