tammy looking more for experience with horizontal movements – brainstorming with other folks about trying to do what we‘re trying to do (rather than focus on issues, which is also important)
Walt – movement building strategist
working group is for existing working groups to share what they’re working on with other working group

sometimes just calling for something is the best way to make them happen
thinks of movement building group as telephone, connecting people together

Can lots of occupation sites and GAs have movement building/internorrupcy workgrousp
cohesive strategy
tammy – validity of having movement building working groups as primatry and important way of movememnt building
occupy cafe – open forum for anybody that wasnts to discuss it at any sacle
3)anticonsumerist campaigns
phx – targeting wal-mart and otehr places people camp out in anticipation of black friday. (why are you allowed ot sleep in public with intent to buy something?))

buy nothing day – tie in to online shopping
make facebook pages/etc with directories of local buisnesses craftspeople
actions at malls and etc, outreach with alternatives to shopping
come up with new family traditions
if you are having store actions, good tactic – light weight banners, attach to balloons and float to ceilings
extend past buy nothing day to go into whole month
