Next BDS meeting Thurs 14 July 6.30pm

[Anne O'Brien]

Hi all,

At the last meeting on 26 June we had a discussion of what to do next. This email is an outcome of that planning.

The next meeting of the BDS Sydney network will be at 6.30 pm on 14 July, 1 hour before the CJPP meeting at the NSW Teachers Federation, 23-33 Mary St Surry Hills.

Please arrive at 6.15pm as there are many things to get through.

At this meeting we will transition from Marrickville BDS to a Sydney wide BDS network with regional groups organising and hosting BDS activities in their area.

We will begin by making a 'map of Sydney' with our selves by standing at a place in the room where you live and forming regional teams with the others around you, exchanging contact details and deciding on something to organise together.

Before this meeting, think about possible targets in your area. Find out if Max Brenner has a shop nearby, or if Caterpillar has a factory, if your local grocery is selling Israeli occupation grapefruit, if there is a Seacret stand at your regional Westfield and bring this information to the meeting.

When we form groups we will decide on a first event,  stall or action, delegate jobs and write a list of needs for how the Sydney-wide network can support you to make your event work. Then we will make a time line for these local events.

If you have anything to add to this format please email me. Please also invite your friends. Thanks, Anne and Aidan
