REGARDING FLIER:
If you can brainstorm tonight ideas for what you would like to see on a flier, I can have one made. Just let me know what you would like to see. I would love to play on the Free Charlie Card concept. Any additional ideas would be great and I can get one made ASAP.
best,

> 1.hardest thing i learned re BNY was how to go about getting 'vetted'
> folks to come to the planned action given the threat of word getting back
> to the bank...we need to have a trusted Rapid Response Group..ready to
> take advantage of opportunities that come up at moments notice..but how to
> get folks on that team, transparency etc.
> 2 i was also concerned that some of those who might decide to come would
> not go along with the planned theme and might want to do it their way..so
> how to stay in control of the goal of the action when we are all, so
> autonomous is of concern to me.I mostly go with humor type stuff..and don't

> release it until before noon..not sure if they did...
> 3. inside the Bank we were given tons of time ( and contrary to what was
> reported by other groups re Bank actions, at a BOA mic check i was also
> involved in..we were again given as much time as we wanted..no police
> called..so knowing how to end an action successfully and on our terms is
> something to consider..I thought it actually dragged on too long in BNY..
> and 'mic checking' in a huge space with few people and the people there
> were listening to what we were saying, seemed weird and kind of contrived.
> 4.great job outside leafletting, with pizza interacting with BNY security
> and police..since I was so focused on what would happen inside i was really
> relieved to see people spontaneously pick up the thread outside.
> 5. there is tons we can do with minimum risk re arrest..just takes abit of
> imagination...
> 6 I tried emailing the video ( not crazy about it) to Pittsburgh without
> success..does anyone know if they even know we did this?
> 7. interested in what others have to say about this..suppose I should also
> say that my entusiasm for this action, esp on the day of the action, ended
> up being really tempered by what is going on in GA and OB...hate to say
> that but I think this GA stuff, at least for me, effects everything I do
