[Sdalliance] new action committee? (was Re: CRSD Outreach and SDRAH meeting Friday)

Tue Sep 5 11:02:16 PDT 2017

OK, I reread the notes and looks like we agreed to have me, Eric, Jose,
Monty, Yesi, and maybe Lydia as an ad hoc committee *separate* from the
outreach work.  I had gotten the 2 confused.

As of now I have 15 people from the past several weeks' organizing
interested in attended a meeting to continue sustained anti-fascist,
anti-racist organizing at 10am Sunday.  Almost all of them not yet  members
of any organization.  I suggested a meeting length of 90 min.

Would Eric, Jose, Monty, Yesi, and maybe Lydia be able to join us?  I
figure we can work out with these 15 what kind of work we see a need for
and then create an open committee proposal to submit to CRSD.

Do folks have ideas about *where* we can meet?  Would it be possible to get
the Brown Building open earlier?

Thanks and solidarity,

Bo
