1. Calendar Distro: We still need to flier Meadowlark, Open Harvest, Bodhi Imports, Cottonwood, and The Commons. The Commons just needs a full sized one, which Jackson will get to them, as well as Meadowlark and Open Harvest. Ty will take Bodhi and Cottonwood. Ju Ping and Ty will also try to hit up locations around campus, as well as the Cultiva by East Campus.
2. Reimbursements: Ty spent $7.78 on fliers and he will be reimbursed. Jackson spent $37.96 on a longarm stapler and more staples and he will be reimbursed.
3. Sacred Stone Camp: We have come across a GoFundMe to support an effort from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline. We’re pitching in $50 to help them out.
4. Event Updates: We spent the rest of the time putting up Facebook events for our September schedule.

2. Meeting Moderation

Ty did a bit of research on the subject, and we discussed the findings. Major tips included: appointing a facilitator, emphasizing the “step up” rather than the “step back” (asking quiet people, especially those who are looking for an opening “what’s on your mind?”), democratically preparing an agenda at the beginning of the meeting (“what were you hoping to discuss when you decided to come to this event?”; possibly encouraging off-topicish suggestions to be scheduled at later discussions), and prioritizing making everyone comfortable enough to contribute at any discussion.

1. Event Review – We had a good showing of Godzilla. The event turnout didn’t really reflect what we were expecting, but it’s hard to tell with Facebook anyway.

2. Fall Calendar –

We decided to put it to a poll on Facebook whether our October 10th event would be preferred as a Indigenous People’s Day rally or a protest against Columbus Day. Leaning towards a protest, but it was thrown into doubt whether we should do something, or whether we should see if a Native group is working on something that we can potentially help them with instead. We also still need to decide a time for the Liberate Your Computer event.

3. Antifa Books – The Antifa fundraiser we donated to got back to us, saying they will surprise us with a book or other things but will make sure it’s not Our Enemies in Blue as per our request.

4. Moderation methods – We had a bit of trouble trying to search for the right thing, but we did discover some articles for better discussion facilitation. Ty will look through them and bring some he thinks we should look over next meeting.
