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

[Monty Kroopkin]

I can attend too. I think this meeting also means it is better to send the CRSD docs out to the sdrah list asap. If Justin has them already all together, it would be good to send them out tonight. I would rather see the meeting on Sunday be one where people have already read our material. - monty

If an ad hoc committee of CRSD members is wanting to have a meeting next Sunday to talk with interested non-members about 'rapid response' work, and talking about writing up a proposal for that, is it a proposal to be ratified by CRSD or to submit to sdrah? It is great that so many new people are wanting to get something going along these lines, and want to do it with CRSD. Let's think through how ?  Thanks, Monty, I agree.  Good comments and questions.  Let me try to answer:
My understanding is that the only thing SDRAH agreed on was to create a listserv.  As far as I can tell, there is no certainty that a next meeting of SDRAH will happen soon or at all.

I've spoken to over 20 people now who are going to meet Sunday 10am to continue sustained anti-fascist, anti-racist organizing, some of whom are expressly interested in becoming involved in CRSD. Members of DAF and PSL have also confirmed they will attend.  I don't plan to push Sunday's group to immediately decide on whether or not to be part of CRSD (it would take time for CRSD to approve that anyway), but will rather try to help people decide what we want to do regardless of banner, while being honest and open about the fact that I do hope it becomes part of CRSD.

So yes, this would be an ad hoc committee for rapid response that could hopefully become a regular committee of CRSD. I think it's right to seize the time.  People are pouring into the streets about DACA now, and many are ready to go far beyond being added to a listserv.

How does this sound?  Can you and/or Eric from IWW join us (I know Lydia cannot)?
