[Sdalliance] CRSD Meeting Sunday the 11th

[Ryan Stray]

Just to be clear, I'm not opposed to direct action workshops, the PRC, or
ASD. My earlier statement was specifically regarding interactions a member
of PRC staff had with CRSD and it's nascent Defense Committee, which they
opposed strongly and attempted to ensure didn't actually do any trainings
OR direct action. As a result of this, most actions that have been
organized by members of CRSD have had to be performed outside the
organization, hence why CRSD as an org has yet to be involved in direct
action. However, a number of us are planning actions, such as at the
upcoming anti-conversion therapy event.

As for the specific trainings ASD and PRC are organizing, I'm in favor of
individuals attending, but as i attempted to state in my last email,
neither of these orgs have ratified any CRSD documents inside their
organizations, and as such I don't see why we should move our Delegate
meeting to prevent overlap. I am in favor of CRSD attempting to avoid
schedule overlaps in the future however.

As an aside, emails inside this listserv should not be forwarded outside
it, as per the Communication Committee charter. I'm leaving those that were
already added to this email chain however, in an attempt to be clear that
my earlier comments were not opposed to the two orgs cosponsoring or
individuals running this event.
