<div>Dear Somerville Occupiers and Occupiers of the T:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In addition to rocking the house at our own Somerville MBTA public hearing on Feb. 28th at Somerville High School, we--as a Boston-wide movement--really need people to volunteer to attend the remaining MBTA hearings in other cities and towns as well.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This request comes out of (great and substantial!) discussions we had last night at our Occupy the MBTA meeting last night. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I will send around the detailed notes to this meeting asap....For now just make a note that two major city (and if possible *state*-) wide actions are being planned: </div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>One targetting the MBTA Board's final pre-decision meeting on March 14</strong>. </div>
<div> </div>
<div> The other, a <strong>"Wisconsin-style" People's Assembly and Speak-Out at (occupation of?) the Mass Statehouse on April 4th.</strong> April 4th being the date that the Board is supposed to hand down their "final" decision.) </div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>Fliers for both events should be ready by early next week</strong>. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>But in the meantime, <strong>we need people to step up and help us organize the energy and the outrage that continues to show up at these MBTA hearings! </strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please post to this list if you can make any of the meetings below:</div>
<div> </div>
