Hello from the Space Working Group!

The Space working group is aggressively pursuing efforts to find space to
fill the various needs of OB.  This includes space to accommodate working
group and GA meetings, office functions, Free School classes, and an
informal gathering space, among other things. Most importantly it will
provide space for visibility and interaction with the public, much as we
enjoyed at Dewey Square.

Property owners we have been talking with need to understand how we
operated and the achievements of Occupy Boston before they will seriously
consider leasing space to OB.  They do not need to agree with our movement
but they do need to take us seriously as tenants.  We in the Space working
group are preparing a brief description of Occupy Boston that will build
their confidence in us as good tenants.  As part of this we are creating a
1-2 page description of what Occupy Boston accomplished while in Dewey
Square.  This information could also be used to inform future legal cases
if needed.

The working groups are the best source for evidence of Occupy Boston's
contributions to the community and the 99%. Please help us tell the stories
of your accomplishments.

We apologize if you received a similar email in error earlier today; please
respond to and engage with this one.

We need to know:


1. What working group are you reporting for and about how many people on
average are involved?

2. What have been some of your most significant successes or contributions
as working group? Please include really concrete examples. "We distributed
blankets" is not as concrete as "We distributed about 10 blankets a day
every day in October."

3. What were a few memorable stories or examples in which your working
group impacted the public and/or individuals that came by Dewey? Please, no
more than three stories!

4. Were your working group's activities covered by the press or on the
Occupy Boston blog or in the Occupier? If so, can you provide links?

5. If your working group held public events, such as actions, teach ins, or
speak outs, how many were there, what were they, when were they, and about
how many people participated or attended?

6. What are some of your working group's coolest plans for the future, and
how do you think having a permanent space will help you to make those
plans happen?

7. What is one thing that Occupy Boston/Occupy Movement has done that has
made a personal impact on you?


Time is short, so please respond to this email with answers to the above
questions by Wednesday at 9pm. Please send your information to BOTH Monica
Poole (monica.poole at gmail.com) and Gunner Scott (gunner at occupyboston.org).
Your information will be vital to representing OB so that we can get the
best space possible. Thank you!
