<div>Hey y'all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Personally, I do not agree with having this campaign be about more than the T cuts. This is already going to be a really huge project. We will have to make fliers that catch the eyes, organize amongst all the occupations and like-minded organizations where the T runs, including the commuter rail, set up mic checks and informational campaigns at community meetings, create art that reflects our views, and think about alternatives to what the MBTA is proposing. <em>And</em>, we have to do this before the budget is decided on in April. That's already gonna be a lot to take on, and to make this about more than the T is going to be hard.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>With that being said, having street theatre and other actions unrelated to the T in T stations or public transportation vehicles, where you have a large captive audience is a great idea, and should be pursued. I just don't want to see us make a manageable project fail at the expense of making it too broad in scope.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In Solidarity,</div>
<div>Ben<br><br></div>

<div>yeah, let's have a street meeting sunday at 4 to work out what we will talk about at the Action summit on Sunday! I'd love to get as many people involved as possible! OB has been really buzzing about this, let's get some people to start working on it and make this campaign really happen!</div>

<div>Hi Folks..
<div>.I thought the T riders U mtg last night was really good ( though left at 7:30) and it doesn't seem to me, at least up until I left that OB would be stepping on anyon orgs. toes by initiating Free Charlie strategy...i am wondering whether 'street' should offer that up as an initial Action idea at this Sunday's Action Summit..that way we might get all workgroups working on the campaign in their own way..eg we wouldn't have to have our few members go to CASA ..we could get CASA right there on Sunday night and ask them to consider our ideas but come up their own..same for media..etc etc..'street' might then have more of a coordinating role among groups on the Free Charlie Strategy rather than have to round up all the resources and do all the wrok ourselves..seems like an easy way to get all of OB involved in this really exciting idea..one of the things I liked best about the TRU mtg was the incredible diversity..age,ethnicity,city/suburb......etc
<div>if you all like the idea of it being part of OB action summit this Sunday at 5, maybe we should get together at 4 to see what components it might have and how we would help organiize it..i really want these Action Sunday's to work!!!!!</div>
