Call to Action: Occupy Boston Eviction 12am Tonight
Thursday, Dec. 8 – Some Occupy Boston protesters began packing up their belongings today after Mayor Thomas M. Menino issued a midnight deadline for them to leave their Dewey Square encampment. Ariel Oshinsky, a member of the encampment’s media working group, said there had been discussion of striking the camp, but no decision had been made. At the same time, she said, “I think a lot of us plan to stay and hold our ground and fight for what we think is right. Nonviolently, of course.” She said food, tents, and other valuable materials were being removed from the camp today so they wouldn’t be destroyed and wasted in a police raid. Protesters were also making sleeping arrangements for the encampment’s “most vulnerable members,” in case they are evicted from the camp, she said.
