Drawing in Groups to Help
Let's invite people and groups to participate.
Anti-Racist or Ethnic Sensitivity "training" is being scheduled. I don't think its sure that we will use a "Trademarked" trainer, maybe we will. In any case, its going to be tough, very tough. But we have to do it. Its scheduled Wed July 30 before the official event. I hope interested people will get into this discussion. Those who have a burn for this and will show up on Wed July 30 (before the official event), should indicate their desire to participate so that Sacramento can arrange to accommodate the event and the people.

Why not invite one of the dozen or so Occupy groups who work around this issue?

Certainly worth considering; the feeling as I understand it was that there are local folks with the requisite skills, but I believe that there is a group working on this locally (@delphinebrody, Sea, come to mind); that group would be the folks to ask that question to.

Sally. I talk to delphine. She’s part of this group. The Sacramento GA needs help doing this training. Why wouldn’t we want to weigh in?

Just the opposite, I thought you all WOULD want to make the arrangements, not someone form out of town. Yes, if you want help, we are here to help; @justin2, do you have a list of those Occupys? Are you offering to reach out to them?
Justin Fri 9 May 2014 3:00AM
I am not offering to help just suggesting, again we ask Occupy instead of trying to solve/ plan everything...
We have comrades. They'd love to be apart of the effort..
We just need to reach out directly if possible..

Great, it seems that you and Sea are in agreement; maybe at our next Facebook party we could ask that? Or should we just Tweet out a request? I am not sure of the logistics to get the ball rolling.

Is there a list or a way to find the dozen or so Occupy Groups who work around this issue?

Good and enlightening reading as we move forward together.

Tricia, that site looks very good.

IF I get to NatGat, I would certainly plan the extra day. However, it is unlikely that I will. I wonder if it is amenable to being streamed? (not everything is)
