GA Notes 03-17-2012

on March 18, 2012

No facilitator, Peter scribe.

This was a very insightful GA. We addressed the fact that members were dropping out of OWNC and some were posting very critical attacks on their way out the door.

We discussed the need to consider whether we were relevant as a movement and the issues that we were promoting.

Core issues:

Voter suppression

Corporate personhood

Foreclosure prevention

Other items discussed:

99% vs 1%

Issues promoted by other occupiers

Taxing the rich

Local issues

Posting positive topics

Republican wars on women, blacks, gays, immigrants

The need to attack ideas and not people

Proposals:

Review FB observation at next GA

Open invitation for supporters to attend GA

Adjournment.
