DECEMBER 3 UNITY + COMMUNITY RALLY -- THE 99% SPEAK OUT!


On December 3, occupiers, activists, and community members will be holding  
a distributed march and rally across Boston, starting in neighborhoods  
across the city and culminating with a speak-out in Copley Square. It's a  
chance for the wider Boston community to meet the 99 percent, and for the  
99 percent to organize visibly around ALL the issues that matter to us. To  
do this, we need your help! *The basic idea* From 10-12, everyone takes a  
street corner. Whatever your issue is -- anti-foreclosure, police  
brutality, tar sands, school closings, wage cuts, supercommittee cuts, the  
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the eviction of OWS, s-comm, corporate  
welfare -- take a street corner and tell people why you're here! Host a  
puppet show, run a civil disobedience training, canvass on a particular  
issue, distribute food or clothing, host an off-site teach-in, and help us  
get the message out! After that, we'll all gather in Copley Square from 1-4  
pm for a speak-out and celebration of the 99 percent They say our  
differences will divide us. They say we don't have concrete issues, claims,  
or goals. Join us on December 3 for a day of celebration, conversation and  
change -- take the issues to the neighborhoods where they are most strongly  
felt, and then bring those issues to the square to make our voices heard.


OPEN PLANNING MEETING: Monday, November 28, 5 pm at SEIU615

If you'd like to get involved, please come to our open planning session!  
DATE AND TIME: Monday, November 28, 5 pm LOCATION: 23 West Street, 2nd Floor


Can't make the planning meeting? Email streets at lists.occupyboston.org.

That's the "streets" (as in "streetcorners") working group, which includes  
organizers from the Occupy movement and the wider Boston community who are  
working to put this action together.


Got an idea for what you'd like to do on December 3?


YES! I'd like to organize an action. Here's what I've got planned! Planning  
a mini-rally on a particular issue? Organizing a sit-in or a teach-out? Let  
us know what you've got planned!



Location, location, location Rough details are fine -- this is mostly so we  
have a general sense of what's happening where, so we can plan accordingly.



Start time - End Time Rally in Copley is scheduled for 1 -- about how long  
do you think your action will take?



Point of Contact If people want to check in and learn more, how can they  
get in touch with you?



Is it OK if we publicize this action?



Any other comments?



An important note on transparency and security!

While we want this day to be as transparent as possible, we also understand  
that not everyone will want to publicize dates, locations, and full details  
of all actions. Part of being transparent means that we let people know  
when they are assuming risk for actions others might take! If you're  
planning a low risk actions (canvassing, public speak outs, street theater)  
and can include those details here, great! If you're planning a higher risk  
action (occupying a space, mic checking someone, causing traffic  
disruptions and so on) you can skip this form, but please do still get in  
touch with us to give us a heads up!We don't need to know locations or full  
details, and it definitely doesn't need to get spelled out in a google doc,  
but it's also important for us to be able to let other event participants  
know so they can opt out if necessary. IF YOU ARE PLANNING CIVIL  
DISOBEDIENCE AS PART OF THIS DAY OF ACTION, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH US  
AHEAD OF TIME. Email is streets at lists.occupyboston.org. Or better yet, come  
to our planning meeting on Monday to talk about it in person.
