An invitation to all Occupiers!
Move to Amend is planning an action for Friday, January 20, 11:30am-1:00pm, at the the Federal Court Building Plaza in downtown Minneapolis (just a few blocks north of The People’s Plaza). They have a permit to assemble. There will be speakers and street theater.
Move to Amend would like to have enough people to do large individual letters that say “END CORPORATE PERSONHOOD!”. A large freeway banner is being created that will say “GET CORPORATE $ OUT OF POLITICS, MOVETOAMEND.ORG”. Plans are to use the banner during both rush hours at yet to be determined overpass locations, and at the event midday downtown.
If you are interested, the next planning meeting is Wednesday, January 4 at 7:30pm at the lobby coffee shop in the Open Book building (1011 Washington Av S, Minneapolis).
Currently, over 70 actions are be planned at federal courts across the country. For more information about the amendment or to sign the petition, visit movetoamend.org.

Currently, as you can see, we are starting to form a quick yet quite friendly page for all out there to see…
We are the O-Team, or OccuTeam. We are the RV riders that fly (Drive really) to the aid of Smaller Occupations, and help with Teach-ins in technology, medical, spreading the love, and just about anything we can! If you need us, just call…
The OccuTeam is a small 11 person group, to include members of the Occupations currently in Wisconsin (WI) and Minnesota (MN, Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Cloquet, and other Minnesota cities), and was formed by consensus, to help others after our expierience in Iowa at #OccupyCaucus.
We are currently working on a cost effective way to produce the final result of a rapid response vehicle, that can also be used to transport our instructors over long distance while still allowing those that need it access. To do this, we are using multiple technological advances, and the mighty brain power of the nations Occupations to get many things put together… For just a preview, I want to show what we are looking to do with a quick intro:
1) Purchase and retrofit an RV style vehicle to assist the OccuTeam
2) Create a freedom tower, that can be used to link to either LAN, WiFi or Cellular based signals to push our message out to the world. (Livestream / UStream)
3) Rapid response to needs, just like any media van, to get to the sites needed with the equipment needed. The ultimate plan is to include two specially modified aerial vehicles to be used for forward reconnaissance in a tight situation. (G20 style actions, get the video, and keep our team safer. At the same time, keep abreast of possible issues such as large police and or military blockades.)
4) Expand and modify the above plans to fit within the Occupational guides to continue as observers, and help those that need it.
5) Create a steady stream of usages, which will make it more valuable of an asset than the idea already is.
6) Potentially create a fleet of these OccuTeam RV’s to move multiple teams around the country.
There are plenty of more ideas as to what we can do with this, but like stated in the beginning, we haven’t met to FULLY flesh this out. This is the first step in bringing the idea to a head and getting it moving from ones head to actual print and action.
