Difficult to go forward with most if not all of these until we set a date,
no?
And the longer we "don't" set a date, the more we are effectively opting to
put off the action, by default.
Not a good reason to put off an action, especially considering the
possibility of an imminent assault of Dewey and our movement.
I would propose that an integral piece of this entire march ON THE 3RD!
should be to call for people to help defend Dewey Square. Yes, we should
still be going out to listen and to talk to people and to encourage people
to get involved in all sorts of ways, on their own turf, not just Dewey
turf. But one of our overarching goals should be to clear up
misconceptions about the movement and also to give sympathetic people
something they can take away that can help them to keep the movement from
being squashed (at Dewey). At least: a place and time to rally if Dewey is
evicted. Also perhaps the Mayor's office phone number so they can call him
and say "Hands Off!" And hopefully more than this: like it would be great
if we could add a few hundred or a few thousand new members to our
emergency contact list in case of an assault.
Now is not the time for delaying, but for focusing and taking action to
build this movement, and to defend it!
