Hey folks,<br><br>We have been blessed with better (slightly), though it is still a bit chilly to be camping in Dewy square. <br><br>Yesterday was a wonderful and beautiful extension of all that we have accomplished in the past 3 days (feels like 3 WEEKS!). <br>
<br>We re-organized the camp a bit, moving the tactical, medical, food, and welcoming tents closer together. We built a new tent for the outreach team which is dividing into multiple sub-teams (unions, campuses, community orgs, and neighborhood outreach). <br>
<br>We acquired a PA system for the General Assembly meetings, which happen nightly at 7pm. (Please COME and see one!)<br><br>Yesterday, we sent a team to Dudley Station to do outreach to Black and Brown folks and the response was amazing. People were very interested to take our
flyers, quarter cards, and information about the revolutionary process
unfolding in Dewey Square. We talked about the tent city that has been
built there, the free food, the energy, the nation-wide scope of things
(Occupy Chicago, Occupy LA, Occupy NYC, etc.) and the disgusting wealth
and corruption of the top 1%. We are the 99%! It was as though there was something electric "in the air" and as
soon as we helped people tap into it, they really got charged too.<br><br>We have gotten mixed coverage in the Herald, and the tent camp has now grown to encompass almost the entire square.<br><br>Here's a brilliant video with a sampling of voices from Occupy Boston:<br>

<br>General Assembly begins tonight at 7pm. (Feel free to come earlier if you can.)<br>See you in the Square!<br><br>Brian <br>
