I can't be at the meeting tonight but think that mark's idea for an
"unmediated (ie direct democratic, non-mainstream media based) national
conversation about democracy, social and economic justice in the run up to
May" is brilliant and I strongly support it.

> economic justice in the run up to May.
> Specific aim: to engage the 99 thru our leverage, unique democratic processes
> and by going out to all sectors of civil society locally yes but at same time
> on a unified national Occupy basis. My proposal is therefore that sectoral WGs
> ( eg trade unions, church/faith, student/education, unemployed and precarious,
> co-operatives, relevant others etc) mobilise here in London and nationwide
> under one strategic plan, discussed and agreed between now and end of
> Sheffield national Occupy meeting later in Jan.
> Battle plan effectively to encourage conversation and mobilisation thru
> assemblies ( ie open, inclusive public meetings ) everywhere imaginable.
> If relevant WGs are amenable to this idea or something similar it could be
> considered at GAs soon ( this weekend?) with all the relevant WGs in
> attendance together, fleshed out and then taken to the Sheffield gathering as
> a concrete proposal (battle plan..)       If you agree with this idea Steve,
> Chris and anyone else attending pls could you put it forward ( no need to
> mention my name unless you wish to)                       Cheers, Mark
