I love this. Its getting back to the heart of what we are about. I think we could do a sustained campaign with CASA on this. They have been planning really interesting things such as walking tours of the banks and so on. <br><br>I love the idea of making a contest out of it. I would be careful of how that may be construed by authorties- I think we would need to do research on the legal implications of encouraging people to shut down banks. <br><br>I wonder if we can do bank tag. Have a large day of action with the purpose being to shut down as many banks as possible. We can make it a competition between occupies and that could kick of a long term campaign of bank actions. <br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2012 15:52:25 -0500<br>Subject: Re: [Street] OB Actions<br>From: aria@littlhous.net<br>To: nicole_sullivan@live.com<br>CC: arieloboston@gmail.com; suarezalexander@yahoo.com; Street@lists.occupyboston.org; elcoh002@mail.goucher.edu<br><br>The idea of frightening banks into closing for a day is great for two reasons: 1. it's funny 2.<u> it actually effects their bottom line.</u> What could give it even more "umph" would be tracking/turning it into some kind of contest--that also up's the PR potential. Maybe "there's an app for that" ;)....you know, how long it took for them to close their doors, were you able to speak to someone/make human contact, what reasons did they give....A big party/demonstration after we close....100??? doors?????<br>

Here is the part of the transcript which people are referring to: <br>
<br>
"Zoe: There was something that took place last night that directly affects people in this community. There wa a person who was sitting behind that man. His name is Al Suarex. There was a house in mattapan that was a safe place for occupiers. He pressured her to take a drink and she finally took it. She woke up and the person with her thought she was going to die. She had a drug test and tested positive for Rohypnol. We're looking for him. "<br>
<br>
<br>
Tess left you a voicemail regarding your presence at tonight's IDEAS WG meeting. We do not feel it is appropriate for you to take part in Occupy Boston until this is dealt with and ask that you voluntarily abstain from involvement until that time.<br>

Every BoA action Occupy has done, they've shut the doors on us... and as far as I'm concerned, that's fine! If they want to close the doors, that's a win for us (it stops us from closing our accounts, but prevents them from doing business). I know some people will be uncomfortable discussing details here (security culture, etc.), but I could see some kind of sustained action at a couple banks, or closing a different bank every day, or a coordinated action at every big bank in the city, or something else I'm not even thinking of right now. Who knows!? Let's work on it.<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
<br>
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<br>
<br>
<br>
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<br>
