Work

This past weekend, Occupy the Hood Boston held its first two major events, a Community Speakout and Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality, following a frenzied week of organizing the community counterpart to Occupy Boston. Occupy the Hood Boston is an effort by a coalition of community members, organizations, local elected officials, clergy, unions, elders, and youth who want to focus some of the attention and energy of the occupy movement on the issues and people working to directly address them in the most affected communities. Quick flyers for both: We were also there to support and document. Friday – Occupy the Hood Saturday – Police Brutality Rally Following that we worked with Occupy the Hood National on a website for OTH’s across the country. http://www.officialoccupythehood.org/ We also developed a Boston specific logo using the national brand as a base. We also worked on creating the special Occupy the Hood Boston section of blackstonian.com. Stay tuned for more. Find info on OTH Boston at blackstonian.com/occupythehood and @othboston. You can find all of this work in our portfolio.
