In attendance: Jackson (moderator), Ty (secretary)
Start time: 7:00 PM
1. Event Review – We had a Popcorn Politics event, which went well and the discussion was good. We did get one person back who had only been to one other event here prior, the Russian Revolution discussion. We got some feedback on that event, though we’re not entirely sure as of yet how to use it and improve events to come, but it’s something we can ponder, process, and evaluate for further discussions like it.
2. Meeting Cancellation – Next Monday there is a forum on organized labor that we don’t want to compete with (and that we most likely will go to ourselves). So we are opting to cancel next week’s weekly meeting. Jackson will also share as much on the Facebook, as well as share info on the forum in question. Jackson also brought up that he will be gone on April 9th, so we are preemptively canceling the meeting that would have been on that date as well.
3. No Ban, No Wall – ISO is sending two people for the “No Ban, No Wall” immigrant rights discussion that we are cosponsoring. UNL isn’t charging for the room rental, and ISO is really only asking for gas money, so any money we donate will be going far to cover this event. There is talks, with the low expenses, of spending our extra funds on snacks for the event.
4. Button Order – A friend of Ty’s contacted us on behalf of his pride group to make a bulk order of pronoun and pride flag buttons. We’d need some more details, but since the friend needs an answer back from us by this Friday, Ty’s going to determine whether we offer to do it, or opt to direct him to another button source, and report back the next meeting we had on what he decided to do.
5. Friends of AK Press – We are officially Friends of AK Press! Ty reports back with the email we received saying as much, and we will begin to scheme soon about the anarchist literature we want to purchase for the library!
