[Iswg3906.organizers] amanda's workshop

[Peter Hopperton]

Thanks for letting me know about your scheduling needs Jessica. I just got off the phone with Amanda and she needs it to be that day, but we can do it a bit earlier, from 3-7, so you wouldn't be missing out if you needed to leave early. When you go to Mac on Tuesday, are you able to pick up the honorarium and travel costs then so we have it ready for Friday? If so, maybe you and I can talk to figure out details.

I've been to a similar workshop with Amanda and Alex before, and I think it would be a really good thing to have pre-sl9 debrief, since it focuses a lot on tool and words for analyzing white supremacy, settler-colonialism, and oppression more generally, rooting it in specific organizing examples. It would have to be a different email thread, but maybe we could call a debrief for later next weekend?

I'm going to announce the workshop for central park, and we can either hangout under the awning thing if it rains or move elsewhere. I'll be sending around a more detailed callout soon. I'm buying bus tickets for Amanda, and Alex's travel will be about $25.

yeah!

Hey all, 
Thanks for following up with this Peter. I really like the idea of having this workshop, but I have a commitment with pac from 6-9 or so Friday evening. 

At the last meeting we also talked about a line 9 debrief, (which would be organized through the Hamilton line 9 crew), and then perhaps a follow up event to that along the lines of decolonizing solidarity organizing work more broadly. Do folks think there might be a way for this workshop to happen alongside one of these events? Assuming it would work for Amanda and Alex's schedules of course.

What do others think? I am a bit cloudy on our meeting and feeling like I may not be making a lot of sense at the moment because I am totally distracted/enthralled in submitting my proposal for my Friday deadline. If the workshop is happening I would try my absolute best to make it from 4-6!

Hi crew,

A while back, we discussed having a workshop with Amanda Lickers. I spoke with her again today, and she would like to come do it next Friday, the 12th, in the late afternoon, around 4pm. When we discussed it before, we agreed on offering her a $200 honorarium plus travel costs for a 3-4 hour workshop. Alex Hundert will be presenting with her.


Any ideas on space for this? Amanda and I talked about holding it in a park if the weather is good, but we should have a fallback location. I was thinking either we could do it at McMaster for that or use Central park and ask if the Nacho would be interested in hosting, or we could try to book St Peter's church at Barton and Sherman (not actually a church any more)


I'm gonna move on spaces tomorrow, so what do y'all think?
