<br>
Just a quick reminder about Sunday's media strategy summit. <br>
<br>
The <a href="http://wiki.occupyboston.org/wiki/Media_Strategy">Media
Strategy Summit</a> will be convening this Sunday from 2pm-5pm at

<br>
We would like to specifically extend an invitation to women, people
of color and the house less community to make certain they have a
seat at the table and influence over OB media strategy and
operations. Please forward this to any working group and or person
you feel should be there. My apologies if I left folks out. Please
help them get this invitation. Thank you. <br>
<br>
The format will be adjusted facilitation by members of the OB
community. More conversational and goal/action oriented. <br>
<br>
For the summit to work effectively, smoothly and productively it
MUST be a safe zone for all. We want a variety of views, tactics and
mediums thus welcome the input of all. <br>
<br>
We welcome all constructive criticism and dissenting voices. What is
neither welcome nor will be tolerated is personal attacks, hijacking
the conversations and/or flow of the summit, agendas that are not
made public to the entire group. Anyone who engages in destructive
behavior (verbal or otherwise) to the process and specially to other
members of our community will be asked to leave after the first
offense. We want and need the summit to be a safe zone for all
voices so lets leave drama and hidden agendas behind please. <br>
