In attendance: Jackson (secretary), Ty
Start time: 7:05 PM
- Event Review – We had our abortion rights discussion on Saturday. We had eight new people in the room, who all found us through the Facebook event. It was a great discussion that everyone seemed very engaged in, even with a self-described theocrat in the room trying to prosletyze us. (Thankfully, they left early when the attempt went nowhere.) Jackson collected emails from several of the attendees and needs to get an email out to them soon with a DIY abortion care zine we have access to. He will also use the opportunity to follow up with them about a suggestion made at the discussion to hold more of these pro-choice meetings in the coming months, possibly formatted as a “social activists’ support group” as one of our guests suggested.
- Library Donation – Jackson is donating a book about anarchism to the library.
- Fall Calendar
We still are planning on collaborating with OutNebraska in September, but Ty needs to follow up with Aryn soon.
We may do more pro-choice events, since there was a lot of enthusaism for follow-up on that issue at our discussion this month.
Marc suggested via group chat last week that maybe it’s time for us to do an event about mass incarceration/prison abolition.
