I think saying we are decentralizing the downtown encampment during the
wintertime in light of the city's clear efforts to demonize us and steal
our cleaning supplies in order to build a case againt us will give us time
to regroup strongly in the spring. Let's occupy every zip code in the area
(weekly meetings in volunteer's houses? Buid a site to organize this effort
and plan rideshares, have movie nights, potlucks).  This will also allow us
to reach out to our communities and gauge their needs, and rally more
support despite temporarily surrendering our major presence in the
financial district.

Interesting to note: Federal Reserve Building offers conference space for
free for nonprofits.  Would be fun to plan a conference around how we will
regroup ourselves in the spring in the very same building that brought us
to Dewey in the first place.
