When : Thursday, January 23rd, 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Where : ACLU of Texas statewide headquarters, 1210 Rosewood
What : Initial strategy and organizing session for local resolution campaign
Before the meeting,
(1) Please take a look at the “Safe and Free” section at the ACLU national website at http://www.aclu.org, including the model resolution.
(2) Also take a look at the website at http://www.bordc.org, particularly the tools section that shows the outline and planning for a successful campaign in Massachussetts.
(3) Bring a list of personal contacts and resources that you can ask to support or contribute to this campaign. (I.e. other organizations, churches, institutions, friends, etc.)
(4) The Austin Chronicle published an article about an effort already in the
works by the Austin Against War Coalition. I can’t get those people to return my emails, so if you have contacts or know who they are, please try to wrangle a status report out of them.
(5) Please rsvp if you can attend so I can tell the office how many to expect. Also, you can invite individuals that you know are willing to volunteer on the campaign, but this is not an “all hands” call for volunteers. That will come later.
