Hi Folks,
I thought I'd share this really cool syllabus for a class on the Occupy movement that sadly won't be taught at Columbia. See this article for more info. http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2012/01/13/columbia-nixes-course-occupy-wall-street
The syllabus is attached. This isn't particular to Street/Outreach, but these are the 2 lists I'm on for now, so thought I'd post it. Feel free to send it along to other working groups.
Shana

Subject: [Occupybostonoutreach] MLK Action for #J17
Hello OB peeps!
I would like to organize this Vigil for this coming Sunday to
celebrate the birth and life of MLK. If you could announce this
tonight at GA, that would be
appreciated! If you have access to the OB FB page could you post this
as an event? Could we post this on the OB webpage? Thanks!
#J15 Worldwide Candlelight Vigil for Unity and March
Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birthday
January 15th, 2012 @ 7:00pm at the Boston Common Bandstand
On his birthday and in the spirit of Dr. King's vision for racial and
economic equality, peace, and non-violence, we are holding a
candlelight vigil to unite our world in a global movement for systemic
change.
Wherever we may be, whether in our homes, in city squares, online,
Occupies, or at work, we lift a beautiful message high above the
political dialogue. We light the dream of a more equitable world in
our hearts. We can overcome!
Dr. King said "A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on
the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. With righteous
indignation, it will look across the seas and say: 'This is not
just.'"
Vigils are being organized around the world -- from California to
Cairo, New York to New Orleans, Germany to Nova Scotia. Pete Seeger,
K'naan, Ramy Essam, Sol Guy, Joan Baez, Steve Earle and many more have
committed their support.
We gather to empower a great and global dream, a dream we have all
dream of for thousands of years. We will sing, because freedom songs
are the soul of the movement.. Together, we will make the dream a
reality.
Bring your candles, banners, signs, songs, and spirits!
Join Occupy Boston at 7:00pm at the Boston Common Band Stand
