I too couldn't make the meeting tonight & hope notes from it will be distributed.
I totally agree about the importance of communication within & between each occupation, Sarah.
I'm a member of the Financial Accountability Working Group (FAWG) and would be very happy to be part of the InterOccupy Working Group. I've been very much wanting to talk with people from other occupations. I'll report your request to FAWG at our meeting tomorrow & my interest in participating & get back to you. I'm also part of the Women's Caucus & will carry this to that group as well. Would you prefer to have a separate person from each group or do you think it's ok for one person to represent & report to/for more than 1 group?
Thanks,
Linda

Wall Street and Philadelphia have started similar groups and I was just in LA- they are doing the same. It's my belief that in order for this to be successful we need open communication and participation from members of ALL existing working groups. Right now we have members from Medic, Outreach, Tech, Media, Information, FSU and Arts. We are still missing people from many working groups! I think this could be a powerful addition to our movement, the benefits obviously being strength in solidarity and numbers as well as helping and being helped by the whole Occupation community but it will only work if we have a wide representation of OccupyBoston.

The idea is to formulate a solid concept for this group, gain members from each working group and present this during a GA to get full recognition and backing from OB. Please feel free to edit and post new ideas, concerns or concepts to this page. The more input and diversity we have, the stronger we can become. We are already receiving requests from other occupations- local, national and today from Egypt!
