DISCUSSION TOPICS FOR APRIL 10th MEETING [8:00 p.m. start time]:  

+ EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT to monthly meetings?  

Examples:  Guest speakers?  Training program?  Watch Red Wine Blue resource videos & discuss?  Watch a film & discuss?  Host a book read & discussion?  Do some form of “craftvism” [make march posters, etc]?  Make videos to share the SLDTD message on social media?

+ “CALL TO ACTION” Pop-Up meetings? 

Examples:  Write postcards to elected officials? Write letters to the editor of local newspapers?  Call elected officials? Support other state’s election phone banks?  Assemble Card Campaign packets for distribution?  Plan a march, rally, town hall or some other type of community event?

[These items can also be done on our own as schedules dictate, but it’s always nice to gather together😊]

+ COMMUNITY SERVICE COMPONENT?

Examples:  Support a food pantry?  Plan a voter registration drive?  Support the local migrant population?

+ NEW MEMBER RECRUITMENT?

Examples:  Make a list of other like-minded people in our area who you want to invite to join SLDTD.

+ COMMITTEE CHAIRS?  Be thinking about what roles you might like to assume to divide the work.  Each of us have unique talents to lend to our cause of defending democracy – better to share the responsibilities to prevent burnout.

*  NEXT MEETING?  Should we meet virtually every week?

8:40 p.m. – Adjourn/Social time 
PLEASE NOTE: Zoom allows 40 minute meetings for free. I can add a second meeting starting @8:45 p.m. if we think we'll need more time.😊

KEEP ON KEEPING ON, LASSIES!
