I apologize if you're getting this twice. I saw what looked
like a bounced message from the entire list, so I'm not
sure people got this.
Martha's draft agenda looks great. I have a couple of
suggestions/additions.
1. Publicity/outreach is probably the *first* step. We
must get the word out to as diverse an audience as
possible.
2. We must think of who is or isn't willing to do
civil disobedience. One shouldn't feel bad about
opting out of it, there should be no pressure to do
civil disobedience because there's an immense risk
involved. I don't mean tear gas or batons, I mean
the risk of being arrested and its coming up on your
record. For many people (such as immigrants) that's
not an option. Just to make it absolutely clear that
there is no pressure about this - I won't be doing
civil disobedience myself.
Regardless of who is or isn't doing civil disobedience,
we must *all* do some kind of nonviolence training. So
setting up non-violence training is another thing we
should put on the agenda. Though that's not top
priority, we can do it closer to the wire.
