The below proposal was agreed to by the OB General Assembly, on 1/28/2012.

We propose, as a working group, to begin open and announced meetings to discuss our next actions in anticipation of the American Spring. The Tactical… is a super working group made up of the Direct Action WG, Logistics WG and Signs WG.

We propose that $14,000 of the general fund be earmarked for Occupy Boston’s future occupation. None of this amount can be disbursed until March 1, with the consent of the GA.

Setting aside $14,000 will give Tactical a budget to work from. It will allow us to plan properly for supplies needed and know that the funds exist when the time comes. It will be an investment in the future of Occupy Boston.

The Tactical… will set up a WePay account as soon as possible in order to raise funds.

Any money that comes into the WePay account can be spent autonomously by The Tactical Task Force.

If more than $14,000 is raised by the autonomous WePay account, the earmarked funds will then be released back into the open General Fund. The Tactical… will work closely with FAWG to provide receipts for accountability and transparency while maintaining good security culture.

On Sunday, January 29th, over 100 members of Occupy Boston took the streets of Boston to demonstrate in solidarity with Occupy Oakland, who had been brutalized by the Oakland police department 24 hours earlier. The marchers were joined by 20 members of Occupy Wall Street who were visiting Boston in a tour of Northeast occupations.

The scene in this video happened in front of the Prudential Center, as occupiers sat down in the middle of street in order to explain the purpose of the demonstration to people walking by.

Yesterday, Occupy Oakland moved to convert a vacant building into a community center
to provide education, medical, and housing services for the 99%. Police responded with tear gas, rubber bullets, beanbag rounds and mass arrests. The State has compounded its policy of callous indifference with a ruthless display of violent repression.

The Occupy movement will respond, as we have always responded: With an overwhelming show of collective resistance.

Today, we take to the streets.

Across the country, we will demonstrate our resolve to overcome repression and to continue to build a better world grounded in love and solidarity for one another.

All eyes on all Occupies.
