Hey all!<div><br></div><div>I'm feeling a conference call coming on! I've been having a really hard time making all the meetings, and there are a number of projects that are up in the air right now that seem like they all need priority status -- around Occupy the T, and then also around this upcoming underwater rally on the 30th. I expect that there's at least some crossover here in terms of interest from folks on these lists. Are people interested in setting up a conference call either tomorrow or Sunday to hammer out logistics?</div>
<div><br></div><div>We will be having an outreach meeting tonight, but our main focus will be on the community gathering this Monday. If you are interested in setting up a call, please email me privately with the times you're available this weekend.</div>

OK, am setting up the mailing list likely Saturday; then get a feeler for the next meeting. Wednesdays are a bit tough for me with the action going around it, but we can figure that out as a group. Will be good once the mailing list is set up as it will allow for a lot of virtual meeting and communication sharing<br>

Date: Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 3:23 PM<br>Subject: [Street] January 30 underwater rally (with OB, CLVU, Mass Uniting, and OWS?)<br>To: <a href="mailto:interoccupy@lists.occupyboston.org" target="_blank">interoccupy@lists.occupyboston.org</a>, <a href="mailto:ob-media-external@lists.occupyboston.org" target="_blank">ob-media-external@lists.occupyboston.org</a>, <a href="mailto:obda@occupyboston.org" target="_blank">obda@occupyboston.org</a>, <a href="mailto:street@lists.occupyboston.org" target="_blank">street@lists.occupyboston.org</a><br>
<br><br>Hey all!<div><br></div><div>I wanted to give you a heads up on this action! To get on the OB radar -- and potentially also connect up with OWS road trip?</div><div><br></div><div>Yesterday morning CLVU (plus a handful of folks from Occupy Boston) staged an underwater rally in front of Bank of America protesting BOA's failure to reduce principal on mortgages after the financial crisis (you might have seen the email: "flippers! goggles!" etc). It was fun! It was also sort of planned on the fly, so was pretty small. People were excited about doing it again, but bigger!</div>
<div><br></div><div><u>The proposal is to do a large-scale rally and march on January 30 with Occupy Boston, City Life / Vida Urbana, Mass Uniting, and smaller Occupies</u> across downtown Boston. The general idea is to march on BOA, Wells Fargo, Deutsche Bank, and a handful of other lenders in the downtown area in full regalia -- swimsuits, inner tubes, fish puppets, bubble machines -- during the afternoon lunch hour to raise awareness about the need for principal reduction on underwater mortgages.</div>
<div><br></div><div>CLVU and MassUniting are in, as of yesterday. I'm going to pitch it during this Sunday's action assembly -- in the meantime, I'd love to touch base with the folks coming down from OWS, as well as anyone on these lists who's interested in being in on the planning (if you are, please respond to this email!) I think there will be a lot of enthusiasm within OB for this action -- and this time around, we can be in on the planning! </div>
<div><br></div><div>Questions!</div><div><br></div><div>1) Can someone forward me contacts from OWS?<br><br></div><div>2) What working groups, beyond those cc'ed here, should be in on this?</div><div><br></div><div>
If the answer to 2) is "mine!" please email me! </div><div><br></div><div>Please don't forward widely yet -- this action is about a day into the planning, so it's VERY preliminary. Please DO share your thoughts and contacts!
</div><div><br></div><div>love and solidarity,</div><div><br></div><div>Katie</div><div>. </div><div><div><br>
