Do market research on RWC residents. Find out if they know about ORWC. If they do know about us and agree with our values, why aren't they involved? What would it take to get them involved? What issues are important to them? Encourage people to shop locally; make connections with local business owners in RWC; attend City Council meetings and tell them what we want (positive input); celebrate Local Businesses - Share the Love(-ish) events; make connections with small business collective already already in the fight; Staff a table in front of one or more banks every day during the busy times to lobby people to move their money to local institutions.

Do it well enough and long enough to have a significant and irritating effect on the bank.

Then call the press (if we even need to at that point).
Host a "Foreclosure Town Hall" to educate people about how to fight the banks, while focusing media and community attention back on this important issue.Do a group tour of bike routes in the area, so people feel more comfortable biking for transportation.Have administrative roles or duties that rotate to different people after a certain time period.
- and develop procedures so that these roles can be easily passed between people while their fulfilment is easy and consistent.
GA Council Working Groups host Potlucks for Occupfolks to gather and discuss what is important to them, their communities and the larger Movement. Encourages creative solutions through a series of collaborative discussions focused on prioritizing goals, actions and possible outcomes

Create an outreach committee whose job will be to collect contact information- especially e-mail addresses- for all community members who attend any ORWC events. Send a weekly (or occasional) newsletter to the contact list describing upcoming actions they can participate in. Hold occasional (or regular) INDOOR coffee nights that members of the email list can be invited to. Maybe have a theme for discussion at these get-togethers. Black Friday events; media; letters to the editor; Positive action: Identify local financial organizations to which we think people should be moving their money. Put a table outside these banks to lend support to them and help inform the public about how to keep their money in local institutions and give less support to big corporations.Make contact with Stanford Law School, which already holds legal clinics on various issues. Find out if they would be interested in starting a legal clinic where law students could counsel community members who are in danger of foreclosure.Have an event where people can bring broken items and we work together on fixing them, like these folks do: http://fixerscollective.org

Re: Black Friday events above- there is usually a "shop local" day during the holiday season; find out when it is and help distribute flyers to the community to support that event.
