We have an initial proposal for what October 5 might look like in Cleveland, and a timeline for making this happen. Some of the key elements are:

*Weekly actions, something that engages people, gets them talking, gets ustalking 2 them about the call and 10.05. Suggested places to start--public square, shaker square, coventry, tremont, madison district, board of elections, main library, detroit by phoenix/marcs, westside market

*Co-ordinated banner drops on freeway overpasses coming into/leaving from downtown. This is beautifully demonstrated at www.freewayblogger.com.

*A call to performance artists and musicians who would like 2 be a part of 10.05.

*We can echo the camp democracy movement cindy sheehan is spearheading. an encampment will move from texas 2 dc in september. We can set up such a "camp" on public square as a way 2 generate interest, this will be a good test run as well for the 10.05 encampment.

*Contacting locally-owned businesses, and local activist group, setting up appointments with the owners, make a presentation re: 10.05 and why they should close up shop on this day and honor a general strike.

*Fundraising yard sales, and more

*Saturating Cleveland with posters and stickers one week prior 2 10.05, including in art departments of local colleges calling people 2 come down 2 this with their work and/or creative expression in the street. also for shops of local artisans.
