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'
Kev
