VOICES FROM THE 99%
"Occupy Boston Report and Reflections"

Occupy Boston began with a meeting at the gazebo in the Boston Common more
than a month ago.  People have gathered from all around the city, and even
from around the state, on the grounds of Dewey Square in the Financial
District.  The occupation at Wall Street has provided a tactic adopted by
cities all around the world, but especially within the United States.  While
there is no cohesive definition of who or what this occupation movement is,
the people participating regularly call themselves/ourselves the 99%,
challenging the wealth of the 1%.  Essential critiques of race, gender,
class, dis/ability struggles have come up and are constantly being
challenged.  This Sunday we will listen to some people who have been
actively involved in multiple aspects of the work and we will create
strategies together for moving forward.
