The following proposal was passed by the Occupy Boston general assembly on April 5th:
The genesis of the State House occupation was an autonomous action by members of Occupy Boston. Moving forward, Occupy Boston as a community endorses the continuation of the occupation at the State House until April 14th as an Occupy Boston action. Occupy Boston stands in solidarity with actions nationally that attempt to secure public transportation as a right.

LIVESTREAM TRAINING
Saturday, March 3
3:00-5:00PM
Encuentro 5 (33 Harrison Ave., 5th floor, Boston, MA)
We will be teaching people how to livestream from their phones or computers, and how they can help produce the livestream channel.
The truth is we really need help. We need more people with the skills to broadcast live video, (and most importantly) produce live video. Right now only three people know how to produce! Let’s change that.

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.
Be there.
