At OWS, there are always people standing on the park's Broadway sign with huge banners, signs, sometimes costumes, and handing out copies of Occupied Wall Street Journal (occupiedmedia.org) to passersby, engaging in conversation, talking to journalists.<br /><br />As for lit, you might want to check the NYC General Assembly site and its working groups for materials: www.nycga.net Don't reinvent the wheel!<br /><br />As for outreach, I've found that the best way to do it is to call for a march around an issue - healthcare, banks, evictions, whatever - and then do outreach based on that action.
