Occupy Dallas began on October 6, 2011 with a march to the Federal Reserve Building in the city. A series of meetings that were titled "The General Assembly" or "GA" were held to plan the beginning of the event on October 6, 2011, and have been held on an ongoing basis to create a consensus on policies and planning for the occupation. Committees known as "working groups" have been formulated to utilize the expertise of volunteers who wish to assist in the event. On October 6, 2011, Occupy Dallas marched from Pike Park to the Dallas Federal Reserve Branch.
