OB Closes Fund for Traveling Occupiers

The General Assembly of Occupy Boston consented to the following proposal January 1, 2012:

On December 13, 2011, Occupy Boston’s General Assembly consented to a proposal to pay for travel for Boston occupiers who chose to travel to other encampments, including Providence, or Washington, DC.

To date, Occupy Boston has spent $3,325 on this proposal.

In addition, a 12/20 Mutual Aid proposal, amended on 1/1/12, suggests spending up to $4400 by January 29.

Since the eviction, Occupy Boston has earned $1840 in donations.

I propose to freeze the travel proposal, immediately, and render it no longer viable, and no longer pay anyone for travel, excepting two return tickets to be bought by 1/2/12 for two occupiers traveling to Washington, DC for an approved reason.
