Hey Street -
article from Boston Globe -

Ben - good place to start for finding other Org's involved.
Awesome meeting last night. Sorry I think the notes are a bit skimpy. Next
Street Meeting is Thursday night at 5PM. I would suggest we do this meeting
in Central Square at Lyndell's (coffee shop). we can meet right at the
corner of Prospect and Mass Ave, where the entrance and exit to the T is.
I suggest this because some people may want to go to the Somerville
meeting, which starts at 7pm (details below), and some people may want to
go to the OB GA. So its a good middle point that we can meet at.
Occ Somerville has a planned Agenda for this meeting and while OB is
encouraged to come be a part of it, this meeting will not be specifically
about combining efforts, but choosing actions steps for the Somerville
group.
I will go anyways to get a good grasp of what they are doing. Anybody want
to join?
I'll continue to work towards setting up an meeting to bring all efforts
together.
