The following proposal passed the General Assembly on Jan 31, 2012:

Occupy Boston stands in solidarity with Knockout Barstool. We are appalled by Barstool’s degradation of women, perpetuation of rape culture and the willful harassment of activists. We fully support any efforts that aim to stop Boston’s universities collaborating with this organization and we commit to working within Knockout Barstool’s framework of action. Barstool exploits people through oppression and perpetuation of rape culture in order to make a profit. They put profits over people.

Join Knockout Barstool for a march and rally today at 6:30 PM, beginning in the Freshman Quad of the Northeastern Campus and ending at the House of Blues, where a Barstool Blackout Party is being held. See details for the march and rally here: http://www.facebook.com/events/102054269918424/.

The following proposal was passed by Occupy Boston at the General Assembly on January 31, 2012:

Logistics proposes a budget not to exceed $450/month (plus fees) for storage. The cost of a 10X25 unit at the storage unit in mind is about $260/month. It is possible that we can get a much smaller unit but we’re still in the process of downsizing our inventory so it may still take some time before we can do that. We hope to downsize significantly before we move.

Once a storage location is decided, we will return to the GA to announce the location, accessibility and final dollar amount for the unit.

Reasons for choosing this location: Cheap for the size. T accessible. This means that more than just K*** and J*****, the people in Logistics with a car, will be able to go get whatever supplies we need at any given moment.

Friendly Amendment: A one-time $200 for moving costs.

Friendly Amendment: Payment will be made with the Occupy Boston Debit Card.

The following proposal passed the General Assembly of Occupy Boston on January 26, 2012:

Every Thursday after announcements we will set aside time for people to say what they are thankful for. It’s known as thankful Thursdays. FWG will work out the exact amount of time set aside and will limit it to 5 slots of 2-3 minutes each. This is completely voluntary and is subject to change based on the nature of the GA and whether anyone wants to speak on a particular night.

The General Assembly of Occupy Boston consented to the following proposal on Jan 14, 2012:

$2500.00 to send 2 vans of OB activists to Occupy Congress in DC. These activists are to be mindful of OB’s Statement of Autonomy and are to understand that they attend as individuals within the movement and not as chosen representatives. Participants and friends of this action will fundraise to offset these costs with donations going to the general fund. The hashtag #OBDC will be used to track our activities and encourage donors’ involvement. Unspent money will be dispensed to people who drive up themselves. The DC contingent will give a presentation upon return.
