are you guys ready? cause they are...several OA-ers were contacted by wxxa today looking for an interview about the occupation. a couple of other folks contacted me today assuming i was the PR "leader." i referred them to the website and GA boards and they can't find anything. was a press release issued at the same time as the word about friday's occupation was let out? what is the plan here?...opportunity is a knockin'! i get the leaderless thing completely, so please don't mention it, but someone or two or three HAS/HAVE to be a PR person to disseminate whatever the working group as a whole agrees on. someone should write a press release immediately if it hasn't been done yet, and there ought to be a "media & public relations" contact added to the occupyalbany.org site immediately. the police were also looking for a contact today, as well as a NYS congressperson. i still have contacts i want to share from saturday, should any be interested in having them. peace.

I totally agree with you on all of this, and I would love be a part of this (I've already said that I'm comfortable talking to the press) but because of schedule conflicts (I have a mid-term tomorrow night) I won't be able to attend the meeting, and I feel like no one is responding to me as far as keeping me in the loop...and honestly, it's quite frustrating! If there are people that know what is going on, then I feel that that information should be shared with other members, particularly those within this working group. We are currently missing some viable opportunities to get our voices heard and our message out, and it makes it look as though we're not serious. Well, many of us are very serious, but the communication is definitely lacking, and I totally support everything in your post.

Hi all
As I mentioned to all at the after meeting on Sunday I personally am out of town until Friday with limited internet. I am just getting on right now. It would be great if everyone could register for PR group proboard. I will get to work right now if no one else is taking reins. I am happy to talk to whomever but let's get this organized ASAP.

I'm no longer seeing the PR board- did it get moved? Now I'm a bit confused...
Never mind- I see that it is now its own separate board, and no longer a sub-board for Media/Technology- sorry about that!
