+1 to Ariel.
I will also ask that you voluntarily stay off the lists.

Al,
Here is the link to the minutes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r-BgyrZbozeHcBt6Itw_j6cSWu-z0JGdSgsXTA2PX6M/edit <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r-BgyrZbozeHcBt6Itw_j6cSWu-z0JGdSgsXTA2PX6M/edit>
Here is the part of the transcript which people are referring to:
"Zoe: There was something that took place last night that directly affects people in this community. There wa a person who was sitting behind that man. His name is Al Suarex. There was a house in mattapan that was a safe place for occupiers. He pressured her to take a drink and she finally took it. She woke up and the person with her thought she was going to die. She had a drug test and tested positive for Rohypnol. We're looking for him. "
Tess left you a voicemail regarding your presence at tonight's IDEAS WG meeting. We do not feel it is appropriate for you to take part in Occupy Boston until this is dealt with and ask that you voluntarily abstain from involvement until that time.

I love the idea of doing actions to inform the public of exactly what it is that banks do that is in the way of economic recovery, how they stand in the way of small business regenerating, what they have done about mortgages that was deceitful and harmful (I'll bet some people still don't really know how that went down) How they're tied in to the organizations like AIG and Goldman Sachs . (I don't know exactly how, but it would be interesting to find out)
street theater? signs? cantastorias?

I like it! Reading this story <http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2012/01/05/wild-old-women-close-san-francisco-bank-of-america-branch/> gave me a similar idea, since it showed just how quick they are to close their doors. Every BoA action Occupy has done, they've shut the doors on us... and as far as I'm concerned, that's fine! If they want to close the doors, that's a win for us (it stops us from closing our accounts, but prevents them from doing business). I know some people will be uncomfortable discussing details here (security culture, etc.), but I could see some kind of sustained action at a couple banks, or closing a different bank every day, or a coordinated action at every big bank in the city, or something else I'm not even thinking of right now. Who knows!? Let's work on it.

Hi All,
So a few of us have been having some conversations about a focused and sustained campaign on the financial institutions, specifically the mega-banks. This would include actions like today's at BNY Mellon and the BofA action we did during the Day of Action. It would also include informing the public about things they can do (transfer to credit unions) and the egregious things the big banks do; such as basically taking over public policy, making huge investments in dirty coal and mountain top removal, and foreclosing on millions of Americans, often illegally.
We were going to do it as either a subset of street or probably a separate working group, since its focused on a specific target, but would involve street action and so wanted to collaborate and get people aboard who wanted to join. I think we are looking to meet next weekend (the one after MLK) but times not sure. So if you want in let me know
Also thinking back to the Day of Action/Unity Rally, it was a really unique thing that really brought everyone together. With recent events at OB getting really ugly internally, I think it would help us as a movement to try something like that again soon, or otherwise plan some big action that can help us look outward and keep moving. Maybe a bank action, maybe something separate, maybe a lot of separate actions like the DofA. Not sure what it would look like but just wanted throw that out there as I think it would be good for people at Occupy Boston
keep on truckin'
