Re: Poa I would like the group to consider
Dan Barr
community and get good PR.
I have contacts in almost all of the local low income/homeless
organizations and would be happy to facilitate whatever i can. I
would suggest volunteering at the ministry with community instead of
at the mission, however. as the mission has some controversial aspects
in both the homeless and housed community.
after we discuss a bit and figure out what direction we awant to go,
it would be no problem to get a release prepared and put pout.

here it is
"- After arrival back from our trip to OWS.. I have a few hundred
items
of clothing.. Before we do this or actually make a release I would
like to a public statement
proposal.. to western, Bronson, Borgess, KVCC, Davenport.. you get
where
I'm going.. To help come up with a networked effort change Kalamazoo
from 6th meanest city in the U.S. to top 10 nicest.. we need to get
numbers.. to do this we need to get
interest and leaderless or not infrastructure.. we do this and put it
in the students mind as they go home.. I would also like to consider
looking into volunteering at the mission.. or else doing some kind of
public works with them. .Occupy is pushing this as national action we
will be forming in solidarity also We get some people on board and
then
city comission
meeting at 7pm.. we should then say something about kalamazoo is
currently the 6th meanest city in the U.S. and we would like to offer
Occupy kalamazoo to be willing to help the city comission with
changing this statistic, any programs willing to help us standing with
us
and just simply give them an email address
and perhaps a phone number .. specificlly do not make it so they have
to answer on the spot.. I think it is important to offer them this in
respect and give them a chance to get good PR and move forward..
election is over they do not have to be on the fence.. If they do get
a hold of them we are making great great progress.. If they give us
some kind of .. there are already things in progress.. or they do not
contact us .. we know we will have resistance and can prepare
accordingly..
- also am communicating with 6 animal shelters to volunteer with..
this also needs to have A release from Pr/media which we can
coordinate, also am going to committ sometime and summarize how
different occupies answer questions about what occupy means and what
it is trying to do.. what it stands for.. If we get any kind of
interveiw we should be prepared and have a good idea of what our
answers are before the moment we are asked :).. I will summerize but
also would encourage you to do your own research and decide what it
means to you and what you may learn and if it changes your
perspective ..
- Now this is my proposal I love direct democracy.. I want your in
put,
idea's for amendments? This cannot be what I think.. we should be
presenting what we think and I feel this is essential if we are going
to be realistic in change. .If we all agree we should present it to
GA
and then implement action. but only if we all feel we are
represented..
I just look at what I put as a default.
Next I would like to ask you to think tank.. Come up with your
creativity and make a decision.. look at this as an introduction to
the group.. Give your name.. Give why you choose to be here.. Telll
us
what you want to see change... and most importantly.. how you feel we
should approach it.. This is important for us to get to know each
other and know our team.. Thank you all and in Solidarity :)
