    OB Calls Out Corporate Abuse Contributing to Climate Change

    The General Assembly of Occupy Boston passed the following proposal on February 18, 2012:

    Occupy Boston, unlike the US government and other industrialized countries, acknowledges that climate change is a result of centuries of lax legal rules and egregious corporate abuse specifically aggravated by the fossil fuel agribusiness and toxic chemical industries.

    We call for action against the corporate assault  on the planet and to affirm that all living things have the right to a healthy ecosystem and the right to clean air.

    Occupy Boston Supports Student Summit

    The following proposal passed the General Assembly of Occupy Boston on February 7, 2012:

    Students Occupy Boston would like to propose a request of $250.00 in funds from Occupy Boston to help supply our upcoming student summit at Harvard University on Sunday, February 12th.

    We will have nearly two dozen schools from the Boston area and beyond attending including universities and colleges as far away as Vermont and New Hampshire. This will be a large student event that is expecting over 300 participants with keynote speaker Noam Chomsky. Most of the time spent will be on uniting and organizing students into a more cohesive and effective unit that can be mobilized on a variety of scales that will seek to provide increased solidarity and support of Occupy Boston and the rest of the Occupy movement. Therefore, any monetary aid that can be provided by Occupy Boston will surely pay dividends that no monetary donation can accomplish!

    Additionally, a donation box will be set up by Students Occupy Boston; funds will be spent as conservatively and transparently as possible, with receipts; and any remaining funds up to $250.00 will be returned to Occupy Boston by Tuesday, February 14th. Any amount over $250.00 will be used for future actions of Students Occupy Boston.
