Occupy Boston Eviction Support Network
In the wake of ongoing clearing of Occupy sites in New York, Atlanta,
Philadelphia, LA and elsewhere, Occupy Boston is organizing response plans
in case of possible eviction from Dewey Square. If you have visited the
site, donated food, taught a Free School University, taken a yoga class,
friended us on Facebook, followed us on Twitter, gone to the General
Assembly, or otherwise voiced solidarity and support for the encampment in
Dewey Square, we need your help! Please take a minute to fill out the form
to give us a sense of what our wider support network looks like, in case of
an attempted eviction of Dewey Square.
Who you are, how we can get in touch
Name If you represent a larger group or organization, please state that here
Phone contact
Email address
Can we add you to the emergency SMS list to receive automatic eviction
updates? To sign up yourself, text the phone number "443322" with the

that you've subscribed to the list.

Already on it
Logistical Support
The best support we have is people showing up -- please sign up for our
emergency SMS service (text "443322" message "OccupyBoston") During an
eviction, we'll also need a lot of help getting people onsite and moving
tents, food preparation material, personal effects, and other materials
offsite. If you are are able to offer logistical support on the night (or
day) of eviction, please let us know that here!
I can provide a rideshare to get supporters to Dewey Especially important
in case of late-night eviction after the T closes.
I am available the day after eviction to do jail support for arrestees. We
will likely need people at multiple locations across Boston -- the more the
merrier!
I have a car and can transport valuables and personal items offsite Many
campers have brought their wordly goods to the site - help us keep them
from winding up in a dumpster!
"Day Of" Actions
The most useful thing you can do is SHOW UP on the day of eviction (or more
likely, the middle of the night) and stand with Occupy Boston to protest
the clearing of Dewey Square. Beyond that there are a number of useful
things that you can do to show your support! To receive word of eviction,
please sign up for our emergency SMS text service.
I would like to participate in a 24-hour vigil in case of eviction
I will call Mayor Menino at 617.635.4500 or email mayor at cityofboston.gov to
voice my support for Occupy Boston
I can organize an action in support of OB in my neighborhood or community
Outreach Support
We have access to a wide network through facebook, twitter, and the web,
but we need help reaching beyond that to communities, organizations and
groups who support OB, who may not have access to the web or get
up-to-the-minute information. Phone outreach, supporting actions, and
targeted outreach to unions, community groups, and organizations are
incredibly helpful in helping us get the word out in case of eviction. THE
BEST WAY TO SHARE INFORMATION IS TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO SIGN UP FOR THE
EMERGENCY SMS SYSTEM. Text 44-33-22 with the message "OccupyBoston." Please
share this with everyone you know.
I would like to help organize a phone tree in my area. If you are able to
reach out to specific communities to organize eviction defense, please let
us know!
I am a representative of an organization, coalition, or neighborhood group
and would like to offer support. We especially need groups who are able to
organize supporting actions, have access to a public forum, or have the
capacity to put out a wide call for support.
Thank you for your support!
