In attendance: Andy, Jackson (secretary), Salem
Start time: 7:10 PM
1. Event Reviews – We had two events this past weekend. We had our movie night for Transexual Menace on Friday night. We had a good discussion, and met some new friends and old friends that we hadn’t seen in a long time. We also had our “Now What?” discussion on Saturday afternoon, which was organized on a couple of days’ notice last week, to give our community space to come in and process the return of Trump after our recent elections. We drew several new people in for that discussion, and we went on strong for 3 1/2 hours!
2. Upcoming Event – We’re bringing back our workshop on “Talking to Your Racist Uncle” in time for the holidays. We think it will resonate with our community especially given the aftermath of our recent election. Jackson will get online advertising going for it, as we have materials from doing it last year which should be easily repurposed.
