[Street] Things to do before the Summit (website and flyer)

Should have talked about this at the last meeting. Here is how I see it:

1) Flyers advertising event made and printed

2) Website up and running. Thought about this, and I think our best bet is
to a Facebook event. It also has the added benefit of getting us to be
friends on Facebook, so that in the future when articles/events/etc. need
to be shared, they can be done quickly across our combined social network.
I've created a private version of the event, so friend me at
facebook.com/ravimishra if you want to be invited. I didn't want to make
the event public yet because I wanted more input on the language we should
use in the description and I thought we should wait until we have the
individual places set up where the march will start.

Most of all, we need to build enthusiasm and support at this summit! Come
prepared to talk about the concept. Latest version pasted below:

The goal of this march should be to educate first and foremost (agitation,
entertainment, disruption and other goals are secondary). The general
outline of the strategy will be to have a number of "hubs" across Boston
that march to Copley Square, which we deemed to be the central location.
Each hub will start canvassing around 10am the morning of 12/3. Around
11am, they will begin to march to the Copley. The march will be accompanied
by canvassers who will engage with the public and speak to them about the
issues. We'll converge at Copley around 1pm, at which point we'll have a
program consisting of small group discussion, speakers, music acts, and
anything and everything else (specifics TBD).
