Report Backs: Youth Jails: Jan 16th-20th Occupy the Dream, Schools not Jails
Monday 20th: Start details TBD
If the camp is taken down events will still happen as planned. There
will be teach-ins, music, arts, etc. all week long.
Occupy Our Homes: A lot of lessons were learned. Lela left w/o her pocket book b/c
she was rushed her out unexpectedly. Ultimately, we won because the
Sherrif's department was scared of Occupy.

Proposals: Funds requested to hold CT Butler Consensus workshop in accessible/close location
600 dollars. 200 passed for workshop scholarship.

Office Space Proposal: How do we move forward? Proposal passed to hold next GA on 1/19/12
and devote it entirely to a conversation about Office Space.

Upcoming GA times and locations: 1/19/12 8:00 at Youth Jail Site and 1/21/12 GA also at Youth
Jail site.
