Partial notes from GMO Campaign meeting ​Nov. 28:

• ​Discuss future direction of GMO Campaign meetings with possible expansion of focus and name
  ​:​
  ​
  

Proposal that we open up the focus of this meeting to include GMOs, climate change, Standing Rock, toxic chemicals and other related topics, and to change the name of this meeting to “Earth Action Campaign” – We have reached unanimous consensus.

 

• Discussion - 2017 MAM event
  
  
• Should we hold a MAM in 2017?
  ​  MAM date is 5/20/17.​
  
  
• ​I​
  deas:
• Concert after march (MAM)
• Concert at another time with climate change and environmental focus (not MAM)​
• GMO summit to bring together GMO groups and activists to coordinate, strategize, and work together  
  
• W​e don’t have enough time to pull a concert together for May
• Or we can have a different concert in July (focus on GMOs, climate change)
• We could have a march or arrange buses to SF MAM
• Or a party here at PJC
• Idea of a summit of different groups (climate change conference)
• July event could be a summit
• Do we want to do a concert in the summer (when it won’t rain)?
• Local bands
• We can do more with more money
• H​ow realistic is it to put on a community concert. She put on a concert previously.  Test the water with someone from a well-known band and other people
  ​, ​s
  uggested we contact WACCO
• Prevailing thinking of the group is to have a
  ​MAM ​
  march that ends at a party at the PJC
• Possibly have a concert in the summer or a climate change summit with all the local groups focused on that topic
  
  No Decision was made

Dear Wonderful People - I will be running for some office in 2018 unless I discover a better way to make a difference. I will be considering running for District 10 Assembly again, but starting much earlier... My decision process will involve all those who helped in 2016 who want to be involved, plus any folks who want to help in 2018. I do have a life, a very wonderful and full life overall, so I have a lot of things to catch up on, but I certainly have time and effort I am willing to put into the political process. Please use your sadness and your anger in positive ways. I have infinite hugs for all of you AND I totally welcome your grief.
Deep love and gratitude to each of you!
Roni
