NEW WORKING GROUP – COME AND ADD YOUR IDEAS

Futureman expressed a desire to start a skills sharing group creating an opportunity for teachers/ex-teaches/elders to get together to more deeply discuss issues such as:

• How to create a better educational standard
• Where we stand on issues
• Have more conversation – and a few events
• Have a regular monthly conversation re: radical ideas where there would be guided or open conversation.
• Marcia mentioned the Chiapas model http://onthegroundglobal.org/project-chiapas/ and http://www.solidarity-us.org/site/node/226
• Spencer mentioned James Fetter
• The group could generate a list of ideas
• Activist principles
• Direct action
• Computer skills

A small group met to begin this work and Futureman has posted the outcome of this meeting  into a document available on Google.

Agreed to have a meeting of this newly formed group at 10:00 am on Friday July 18.
