Occupy groups and more from Connecticut and across southern New England are converging in Groton, CT on the 29th for the national call to action by Occupy PDX against ALEC and its contributing corporations. The #F29 CT organizers would like support (more protesters & an endorsement) from OB.

The following proposal was passed at the General Assembly of Occupy Boston on February 25, 2012:

The Participatory Budgeting Working Group proposes to spend 15 minutes of Tuesday’s GA for a presentation about how the participatory budgeting process will help us transition from a traditional laissez-faire resource allocation system to one that better reflects direct participatory democracy. After the presentation, there will be 15 more minutes for small group discussion.

The following proposal passed the Occupy Boston General Assembly on February 23, 2012:

1. At the start of GA proposal process, all proposers will read a 1-minute summary of their proposal.

2. The facilitators will call for a straw poll on the non-priority, non-rollover proposals.

3. The agenda will be set as follows:

• live rollovers
• priority
• rollover
• order of straw poll

Proposers are allowed to de-prioritize themselves after the straw poll.

The General Assembly of Occupy Boston passed the following proposal on February 18, 2012:

Occupy Boston, unlike the US government and other industrialized countries, acknowledges that climate change is a result of centuries of lax legal rules and egregious corporate abuse specifically aggravated by the fossil fuel agribusiness and toxic chemical industries.

We call for action against the corporate assault  on the planet and to affirm that all living things have the right to a healthy ecosystem and the right to clean air.
