[Wamvan] Walking for Rape Relief

[E J]

I don't want anyone who wishes to participate in the discussion/debate
surrounding VRR to feel left out of it, so I think it could be saved for
June when Frieda gets back.

However, I do think it would be very beneficial for the organizers to meet
as soon as possible to discuss and outline the core values of WAM Vancouver,
as Kalamity suggested above. I know we've already established that the group
is to be trans-inclusive, intersectional, etc. (as per the international WAM
statements and our own values as a group), but we may need to formally take
a position on some of these issues in order to ensure that everyone's on the
same page and to avoid future conflicts.

For what it's worth, given VRR's track record, I have a feeling the
international WAM would not endorse or support it. (Just being honest
here.)

Is it possible to divide these into two separate discussions?

I'm free on the 22nd and 23rd.

Elyse
