DESCRIPTION:*** PLEASE CIRCULATE & SHARE WITH OTHERS***\n\n1) ORGANIZE AN OCCUPY ACTION 
 GROUP\nOccupy SF urges everyone who supports and participates in Occupy SF 
 to spread the movement by self-organizing our own Occupy Action Group; get 
 together with your friends, neighbors, co-workers, congregations, 
 classmates, or community to form a group to take action for the 99%, both 
 in our own neighborhoods and communities and to coordinate with each other 
 for mass actions and mobilizations.\n \n2) SEND A SPOKESPERSON TO OCCUPY SF 
 ACTION COUNCIL!\nChoose someone from your Occupy Action Group to attend the 
 Action Council and coordinate and network with other groups and help plan 
 and mobilize for mass actions.\nWe also invite existing groups who respect 
 our practices in the occupy movement to join us and send a spokesperson for 
 your group. \n \nOCCUPY SF ACTION COUNCIL\nFirst Meeting\nSunday Nov. 6, 
 2pm\n(& every Sunday at 2pm)\nOccupy SF, Justin Herman Plaza\n(North/other 
 side of Market St from Occupy SF encampment/occupation, near temporary ice 
 skating rink). Check at Occupy SF Welcome Table for location or if you 
 can’t find us.\nHere is one description of how a "Spokes Council" can 
 work.\n \nPlease read the full proposal agreed to by Occupy SF General 
 Assembly below.\n \nOCCUPY SF ACTION COUNCIL\n \nWHAT?\nThe Occupy SF 
 General Assembly agreed on October 28 that Occupy SF will spread, deepen 
 and decentralize Occupy SF across San Francisco’s diverse communities and 
 movements by initiating an ”Occupy SF Action Council” and inviting the 
 people of San Francisco to join us. The idea is to invite everyone who 
 supports and participates in Occupy SF to spread the movement by 
 self-organizing our own Occupy SF action groups; get together with our 
 friends, neighbors, co-workers, congregations, classmates, or community to 
 form a group to take action for the 99%, both in our own neighborhoods and 
 communities and to coordinate with each other for mass actions and 
 mobilizations. We will coordinate through an Occupy SF Action Council made 
 up of spokespeople chosen from each group that will meet once a week (or 
 more if needed) to plan, coordinate and mobilize for mass actions. We also 
 invite existing groups who respect our practices in the occupy movement to 
 join us. \n \nWHY?\n* To involve, engage and mobilize more of the 99% in 
 San Francisco. To stand up to the 1% and win positive changes for our 
 communities and the world, we need the active participation and support 
 —a truly mass movement-- of as much of San Francisco’s 99% as 
 possible.\n \n* To spread and decentralize Occupy SF from a particular 
 location/s and group of occupiers to everywhere (all neighborhoods and 
 communities) and everyone in the 99%. This will make us stronger, more 
 resilient and unstoppable by raids or repression.\n \n* Too make Occupy SF 
 as truly diverse as our city with all our amazing communities, cultures, 
 languages, histories and desires; we support everyone organizing ourselves 
 in our own communities. The Occupy SF Action Council will be a respectful 
 space for all of us to come together coordinate and take collective 
 action.\n \nHOW?\n* ACTION COUNCIL: Action Council meets every Sunday at 
 2pm (It can set more meetings as needed).\n \n* Meetings are open to all. 
 Coordination and decisions about mass marches, actions and mobilizations 
 are made by spokespeople-- chosen by their groups-- using the same modified 
 consensus process of the General Assembly [try for consensus, if not 
 possible 9/10 majority].\n \n* ASSEMBLY: Occupy SF General Assembly will 
 continue to make decisions, have discussions and be a forum for the 
 Occupation of 101 Market, Justin Herman and/or future site/s.\n \n* 
 ORGANIZATIONS: Existing organizations who respect the practice of the 
 occupy movement (like being autonomous from political parties and 
 organizations, non-hiearchical directly democratic, and nonviolent protest, 
 occupation and resistance) are welcome. Groups that wish to co-opt, 
 dominate or use the occupy movement for to further their own organization 
 or ideology are not.\n \n* ACTION GROUPS: We will facilitate and support 
 people organizing their own Occupy SFaction groups (like affinity groups) 
 by helping people to meet up with others in our communities, neighborhoods, 
 or with folks who share common interests or identities. These groups can 
 take action, do education, etc in their own communities and neighborhoods 
 in addition to supporting mass actions and occupations.\n \nOccupySF.com\n
