In attendance: Jackson (secretary), Ty (moderator)
Start time: 7:10 PM
1. Event Review – We ran our latest installment of Popcorn Politics here on Friday night. Pom Poko drew a pretty good crowd, and a decent (if somewhat sad) discussion.
2. Package – We received a package of buttons and stickers from the June 11th Collective. June 11th is International Day of Solidarity with Marius Mason & All Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners. We’ll give them out. This might also be a good idea for an event for our summer calendar.
3. Speakers’ Money Update – We tried to donate $50 to the ISO speakers when they were here a couple of weeks ago, but their travel expenses were so light that they gave us $20 back. This will be updated in our treasury log.
4. Marx’s Birthday – We agree to commit $50 out of our treasury to covering expenses for the party
Things we want/need: red food coloring, punch, (borrow) punch bowl, chips & salsa, pickles, cheese or smoked salmon/crackers?, party hats, balloons, streamers, a Karl Marx cardboard standup?
5. Summer Calendar
Blackout days: June 16 (Juneteenth), July 5-8 (ISO conference), last three weeks of August (Ty out of town and start of UNL school year)
June 11th (International Day of Solidarity with Marius Mason & All Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners)
Friday, June 1st – Black Cat House Five-Year Anniversary!
Saturday, June 9th – Prison-Industrial Complex discussion (the 11th is International Day of Solidarity with Marius Mason & All Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners)
_In the Intense Now_ will probably not be on DVD in time to commit it to the summer calendar. We should check back when planning for fall.
Health care as a discussion subject?
Reading discussion on anti-Semitism?
Ty would like to screen the movie Moonlight for June (Pride Month) and Shin Godzilla for August (Popcorn Politics?).
Meeting adjourned: 8:27 PM
