Occupy Birthday Party

Mon Sep 10 22:30:53 EDT 2012

Hello S17 people,

I hope you're ready for a rocking birthday celebration for our beloved 
occupy movement!

There is a lot of information from OWS conference calls and the NE 
Spokescouncil but I'll try to keep this brief. Please help me distribute 
this information as widely as possible to anyone you know who may be 
thinking about coming down to NYC next weekend.

Buses: The buses will leave from South Station and drop off at the 
Brooklyn convergence space. One will leave at 6 pm on Friday and a 
second bus will leave at 9 am on Saturday. Returning the buses will 
leave on Monday at 7 pm and Tuesday at 10 am. If people are not able to 
stay for Monday, you can ride down to Boston on the bus and, if 
necessary, have your return bus ticket subsidized.

The the maximum number of people that can get seats in the buses is 114. 
At last check we have 80 signed up at s17.occupyboston.org but that 
could change very quickly. We are going to give priority on the buses to 
people that have signed up on the website so if you plan on riding the 
bus, sign up soon! There will be a confirmation link sent out in the 
next day or so to everyone that is signed up, which will allow you to 
reserve spots on specific buses or request a bus ticket.

We are going to ask people to pay what they can to defray the cost to 
Occupy Boston. The cost per person, per leg of the trip is ~$18. If you 
can't afford to contribute anything, that is perfectly alright :-)

On the bus we will get a brief "know your rights" type legal training 
From a member of the OB legal support group, as well as have the 
opportunity to fill out an arrestee intake form to help with jail 
support. Will also make sure everybody knows about the New England 
Celly, a moderated text loop to quickly distribute vital information 
about the buses and other developments.

You don't have to be riding the bus or wait until Friday/Saturday to 
join the celly.*Text @s17bostonbus to 23559* to join. You may also 
consider joining OWS's celly loop @s17nyc to get updates from them. 
Also, they would appreciate it if everyone who will be there would 
register at s17nyc.org.  There is also a facebook page 
(http://www.facebook.com/S17BostonBus)

S17 funding WG, which is in charge of coordination of transportation and 
disbursement of funds is meeting this Monday at City Place at 6. Of 
course it is public and you are welcome to come.

Food: At last report, OWS has plans to feed at least 1500 people, which 
means you should probably not depend on them for all of your food for 
the weekend. OB food WG has some modest funds that may be available as 
well.

There is a group from Boston that is planning on doing street theater 
about debt in NYC on Saturday and Sunday. They are meeting at 3 pm at 
the puppeteer's cooperative workshop in the basement of Emmanuel Church 
on Newbury St on Tuesday. You enter from the alley just north of Newbury 
St off of Arlington St.

We will hopefully have custom T-shirts as well. The plan is to print on 
Wednesday afternoon / evening and we have to procure shirts (probably at 
Garment district) before then. If you want to help make this happen, 
contact myself or Jose B (sunnyblueskyrocks at gmail.com).

Finally, check out these links for updated info about the schedule of 
events for the weekend and black Monday:
