Hey everyone. This is a quick draft of how I would approach cold-calling an
organization to ask them to participate. But most importantly, don't read a
script while your talking to a real person.

"Hi, my name is ___________. I'm a volunteer with Occupy Boston and I'm
calling because we're organizing a Unity Rally to take place at Copley
Square on December 3rd. Individuals and organizations from the 99% will
gather in Copley to call attention to our most important issues and foster
unity *among all the groups* that are consistently abused by our current
system. Today I am calling you because we would love to have [Name of
Organization] come and educate us on the issues that you address in your
work. Does this sound like something your organization might be interested
in?"

if No: "Okay, thank you for your time and please let anyone know who you
think may be interested in joining us".

if Yes: "Great! The event will take place at 1pm in Copley Square on
December 3rd. Before 1pm, however, there will be a number of great events
taking place throughout the city of Boston hosted by groups that are
drawing attention to their own issues. Then we will all meet at Copley by
1pm to celebrate our diversity and unity as part of the 99%. I encourage
you to check out our website, occupyunite.eventbrite.com, to find out about
the events taking place before one o'clock to see if your organization
would want to join one of them. You are also encouraged to start your own."

cheers
Brett
