Members of the panel are:

Bob Funke - Bob is a member Veterans for Peace, a veteran of the Vietnam War, and an active member of Occupy Boston.

Christine O'Connell - Christine has been working with outreach since early on through journalism for openmediaboston.org. She is 26 years old and currently unemployed due to a job related injury. She is an organizer for the Majority Agenda Project.

The panel will be followed by a Q&A session. Come out to show your support and learn more about Occupy Boston.
