I will explain it all when we gather tonight. Essentially, though, when I attended the People of Color session yesterday, on The 99% and White Supremacy, I realized that I had not been in contact with the POC WG, nor Anti-Oppression WG, in a way that constitutes ACCOUNTABILITY for me as a white women working in solidarity with People of Color. So...please still come. There will be important and dynamic conversations that will happen. I just felt obliged to send out a "heads up" for folks so you won't be entirely surprised.

Come join us (and bring a friend) as we build yet another platform from which to transform our worlds, internally and externally.

> Event 2 - General Assembly, Tuesday, 2/21, 7:00 PM, Arlington Street Church
> Occupy Boston General Assembly will set aside regular GA business on Tuesday, February 21st for a two-hour community discussion about GA decision-making process and principles. The discussion will address a range of issues that repeatedly come up in GA and in other groups grappling with OB decision-making. Parallel to efforts by other groups working to explore internal dynamics, Facilitation Working Group's intention is to improve GA process to better reflect the concerns of diverse Occupy Boston groups and help us reach our goals with methods consistent with our values.
