Direct Action 2 months, 1 week agoI’m going to go to the Women’s Caucus and suggest these actions but I’m waiting for my request to join to be approved. I thought I would also post the actions here to see if there is interest. These would be actions that we don’t have to plan the whole thing just participate. I usually prefer to focus on issues rather than divide into groups.…[Read more]

In all those words I forgot to say that for the PP action in Jefferson City they have vans available on a first come first serve basis. They leave out very early in the morning. The rep said if we can give her an accurate count and a lot of people want to participate they will try to get more vans. They just need an accurate count.

Direct Action 2 months, 3 weeks agoFYI on Cellies: They are great for communicating with people in the group at a moment’s notice but can become inundated with messages if not used correctly (as I think we saw in DC). Obviously each group can make the decision itself as to whether they are publicly viewable or not. Just so everyone knows though, just because the celly name and…[Read more]

Cel.ly s increase communication and are an excellent tool for those with access. We need to review available cel.ly s and ask each associated WG (in the case of individual WG cel.ly s) if they would like them listed. I know there has been a difference of opinion on this. We need to increase communication and accessibility, while respecting each…[Read more]

If we can be in agreement that persons initiating such texts/calls will provide printed fliers, this sort of thing could be…[Read more]

Direct Action 3 months agoIs anyone on here? I still can’t figure this thing out. I’m trying to find the Occupy Our Homes info that Mike referenced at DAWG. I looked in Forums, DAWG working group but I guess I’m missing something. Was going to read it before today’s meeting but can’t find it.

For years, the right wing has been trying to stop Black people, other people of color, young people, and the elderly from voting — and now some of America’s biggest companies are helping them do it.
