Start time: 7:05 PM
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.
