2/20/23 Minutes: Spring Calendar, Site Redesign, Earth Day Booth Materials

In Attendance: Ty, Marc (secretary), Jackson, Wyatt
Meeting Start: 9:00 PM

Before the meeting formally began, we shared a meal with friends, hence the very late start.

Spring Calendar

  • We’re on the wire regarding the spring calendar, so we made some quick decisions. Our calendar of events for spring will be:
  • March ? – Black Musicians and Liberation – we still need to confirm the day/time for this with the panelists. We will promote this event separately.
  • March 17 – Movie Night: Killing Us Softly 4, a classic of feminist documentaries
  • March 25 – Community Discussion: The State of Trans Rights, cohosted with OutNebraska
  • April 15 – Boothing at Lincoln Earth Day
  • April 21 – Movie Night: Snowpiercer, an environmental disaster sci-fi film that also goes into class analysis
  • April 29 – Garden Workshop: Planting Native Plants – we will show attendees how to include native species of plants in their gardens and help them thrive
  • May 5 – Movie Night: Salt of the Earth, a movie that explores gender/class dynamics with striking workers
  • May 26 and 27 – Yard Sale Fundraiser

Website Redesign

  • Marc showed the staging website to Wyatt and got feedback; he will make some minor changes, but otherwise the site is basically ready to go. Some content does need to be written up and added.
  • We hope to get the site to a presentable place before Earth Day, since we’ll be promoting our site there.

Earth Day and Lincoln Pride Boothing

  • We discussed potential button/sticker designs to give out at the event, as well as information to include for the “Behind the Greenwashing” activity at the Earth Day event.
  • Ty has submitted the form for Earth Day
  • We encountered a hiccup while trying to submit a boothing request to Lincoln Pride; Marc will reach out to the event coordinators for further guidance.

Meeting Adjourned: 10:00 PM
