Nothing new to report. Continuing with existing work.

Platform

Platform working on a position on Abortion. Will present position at this meeting.

Outreach

Lessons learned from the PATRIOT Act protest/live streams:

Likes
  • Panel setup is good (though other options can still be explored)
  • Frequent social media posting is good
  • Our attempt to reach out to other organizations was a good idea, let's reuse it
  • It was good to put faces to our party
  • We had a fallback plan and executed it
Lessons Learned
  • At some points, we were too casual to have serious or insightful discussions. We should try to become a bit more professionally political (doesn't mean we have to lose our style)
  • We did not give ourselves enough time. We should be mindful of that, and when doing projects under a time constraint, we should scale effectively.
  • To that point, we should use our time to come up with more of a plan
  • We should ensure that our streaming setup is more resistant to technical difficulties, and that there is no single point of failure if something goes wrong.
  • We stretched ourselves very thin. We should try to delegate more effectively so we can carry the weight of our ambitions.
  • We should establish more of a central goal from the get-go. We should also communicate better in the planning stages so that we all have the same idea in our heads.
  • Keep the 10% rule in mind
