Legal will need all videos & photos NOW! What I saw it looked like the police were pushing/pulling people onto the street to arrest them. If any of them have been arrested for a 2nd time their bail can be revoked, which means they are in jail until March, if you have visuals CONTACT MEDIA & LEGAL NOW!!!! View

ALL, just a concern. I really don’t understand how we are working to stand in solidarity with other community groups. I have been told it falls under Action, but it’s Not our action. We are only showing our support and not co-opting another group’s action. For example, when OWS supported the Post Office picking, they showed up and only said…[Read more]

Outreach November 11, 2011 1:46 pmIs Education and Training a part of Outreach? I don’t see them listed as a committee there is a meeting 11/11 @4 .
The Neighborhood Outreach will need to connect with them. It may be a great idea to start a list of the types of workshops with contact info.-
Hey @Effie
Ron had me add them as a committee yesterday… He should be joining the group soon and taking advantage of having that space here on the site.
