Boston DSA Members' Meeting-- After Dewey Sq: Where is The Occupy Movement Going in MA?

Panelists:
Chris Faraone, The Boston Phoenix
Katie Gradowski, Occupy Boston
Betsy Boggia, Occupy Natick/Occupy the 'Burbs
Moderator:  David Knuttunen, Occupy Newton, Occupy Boston's Free School University, and Boston DSA 

Chris Faraone began his writing career by free-lancing Hip Hop reviews for such publications as Yellow Rat Bastard, The Source, the Weekly Dig and the Boston Herald  before becoming a staff reporter for the Boston Phoenix, where his coverage of the Occupy movement on both coasts resulted in his debut book---99 Nights With The 99%.  Katie Gradowski is an organizer with Occupy Boston, where she focuses on outreach and anti-foreclosure work as well as the Occupy The T campaign. Her “real job” is in Somerville, where she helps run a kid’s community science workshop and “spends time making things, tinkering, and taking stuff apart”. Betsy Boggia has helped establish Occupy Natick. She also  has long experience with  grassroots organizations, political campaigns, local non-profits  (most recently with Girl’s LEAP Self-Defense),  has  been a legislative aide for State Senator Cheryl Jacques, and a co-founder of the Greater Boston Chapter of the Million Mom March for sensible gun control.


Free and open to the public. Non-members are welcome. There will be a brief business meeting before the panel discussion during which Boston DSA members will elect a new Executive Board.
