DESCRIPTION:The GA Clearinghouse\n\nMany Occupy Oakland committees as well as many 
 other groups in the Bay are in the midst of organizing actions and events 
 for this spring and summer that we are all excited about. We have been 
 looking forward to sharing information and getting feedback from one 
 another and believe that the General Assembly is the proper space / time to 
 have this discussion. \nThis is why we will have an organized process for 
 sharing actions/events on Wednesday April 25nd at 6pm at the Occupy Oakland 
 GA at Oscar Grant plaza (14th and Broadway).\n\nGoals:\n1.	Support 
 coordination & communication for Spring/Summer Actions and Events and 
 increase capacity for those projects. \n2.	Encourage action feedback and 
 coordinating calendaring of events\n3.	Re-vitalize the GA's process for 
 this spring. The hope is to get a lot of people there, because this is a 
 new approach.\nGeneral format:\n•	Groups present what they are working 
 on, folks can give feedback, and individuals hear about lots of actions and 
 can find ways to hook up them.\n•	Coordinating breakout discussions for 
 groups working on similar themes\n•	It will NOT be a decision-making 
 space. No large group decisions made that day.\n•	We see this as an 
 experiment and if it works then hope make it happen periodically\n\nCALL 
 FOR PRESENTATIONS AND CONTENT:\n\nThe structure we have come up with so far 
 is that the day will begin with multiple groups giving 5 minute 
 presentations about the current work they are doing followed by some time 
 for questions.\nPlease send us a description of your work. It does not have 
 to be anything formal, just a few words to give us the gist of your 
 project, so we can facilitate scheduling of the day's events.\nWe are 
 asking for your input on how this assembly can benefit the work you are 
 doing. Some questions we would like to ask include: Would you be interested 
 in being a part of a facilitated discussion with other groups who work on 
 projects that fall within a theme you associate your work with?  (For 
 example, if you do work against police brutality, would want to be a part 
 of a breakout centered around that idea). If so, what are some themes you 
 think your work falls under and how does the work you are currently doing 
 fit under these themes?  Do you know any other groups that share similar 
 interests who you would like to coordinate with?\n\nPlease send your 
 projects to actionclearinghouse@gmail.com by Sunday April 22nd.  All 
 project need to be represented by at least 3 people. Hopefully we can find 
 room in the day to accommodate all proposals but unfortunately we can't 
 guarantee there will be time in the day for everything. We promise to do 
 our best.\n\nClearing house group\n\n
