The GA on March 5 will be set aside for the first of several discussions designed to evaluate the contributions of OB since the camp, and to evaluate ideas about future directions. Our first discussion will attempt to answer the following question: What are the most significant accomplishments of OB since the end of camp?

A potential list might include:

• Sustaining Occupy Boston as a movement/organization. GA, SAA, Working Groups, events and actions, mutual aid, financial support, capacity building, celebrations.
• Campaigns and Actions. Occupy MBTA, NATO actions, Occupy Monsanto, Strike Debt.
• Presence for our ideas. OB radio, Boston Occupier, OB website and social media, educational events.
• Connecting to other movements, organizations and Occupies. Vets for Peace, City Life/Vida Urbana, SEIU, 350.org, Encuentro5.

Everyone is encouraged to make his/her own list of what was accomplished and its significance (and bring copies if possible). Members of working groups are strongly encouraged to report on their specific accomplishments, as well.

Please Join us on Tuesday March 5th, 7pm at Community Church (565 Boylston Street).

Remember us?

We still have red duct tape, we still have cough drops, and we still want to help keep you all well!

To that end, several of the OB street medics are launching a project to build a mobile, street based health clinic in Boston.

We’ve kept busy together organizing a 20 hour street medic training last summer (http://bostonstreetmedictraining.wordpress.com), going to medic at NATO, S17, the RNC, and the DNC, as well as doing relief work with Occupy Sandy this past fall (http://sandyrelief-boston.tumblr.com).

Now we’re building a project to turn this bus into a mobile health clinic and radical library.

More info about the project is here: http://solidaritynotcharity.tumblr.com.

If you have questions about the project or would like to get involved, please email us at: masc-AT-riseup.net

OBR.FM  announces Radio Camp!  February 24th-March 9th

After a little over a year of broadcasting independent media for and by the 99%, OBR.FM kicks off its two week “Radio Camp” with a meet and greet at its studio at 9 Hamilton place in Boston, Massachusetts at 7pm Saturday February 23rd, and all are welcome.  Come see our studio, meet our radio hosts and enjoy some indy music, thought and media then spend some time with us as we go to RADIO CAMP!

What is “Radio Camp”? It is an opportunity for sharing and learning about the production of indy media through our radio station. In this two week period we plan to immerse ourselves in all the facets of OBR’s operations, from the ins and outs of broadcasting a live program to the behind the scenes work of marketing, fund-raising, social networking, podcasting, and engineering.

All of OBR’s events, meetings and activities are open to the public and we urge you to join in, we’ll be sending out reminders on Facebook and Twitter of Radio Camp activities. Check out the schedule below and note special events marked with an ** geared to the general public looking to delve into indy media.
