I love the idea of a traveling GA! Could we experiment with this at the Crowdsourced Unity Day of Action, Saturday December 3? Briefly, this is a day of distributed action--marches, street theater, speakouts, etc.--around the city. I've copied the list for this day of action here; also check out <a href="http://occupyunity.eventbrite.com">occupyunity.eventbrite.com</a><br>

I'm throwing this out there as a wild idea to incorporate into a GA
Summit, for facilitation and outreach to especially consider.<br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>We
essentially have 5 different groups that have organized around the
Occupy banner: Ocupemos el Barrio, Occupy Boston, Occupy Chinatown,
Occupy the Hood and the various campus Occupations (Northeastern, Tufts,
Harvard). My idea is to consolidate members of all groups into one
facilitation team, have the GA travel across a large expanse of the
city, and to have each organization host the GAs in the communities they
represent. Since OB doesn't necessarily represent a particular
demographic or neighborhood, it would hold GAs in neighborhoods that
represent the homes of the 1% and the seats of power.<br>
<br>Below is a rough sketch of what I was thinking.<br><br>If this
movement is ever going to grow in Boston we have to think beyond Dewey
Square and share everything we have with the other organizations. We
must think of ourselves as collaborators and equals to the other
organizations . We must not think of the other organizations as
sub-groups of an Occupy Boston movement. We are all one Occupy Boston
movement.<br><font color="#888888">
