Creation of a core group

Colin explained his idea to create a "core" group that would handle all the administrative business and grunt work. For example, plan meetings, reserve loggia tables, handle finances, manage the web site, etc. The group agreed that the creation of this group would be very effective, as long as it did not make important decisions for the group. Colin recommends that those who participate are willing to contribute around two hours a week, which includes a once-a-week meeting. Those interested were listed down. For those who are interested in working with the core group can e-mail [email protected] Colin will send an e-mail to those who showed interest to set up a meeting time.

Creation of a goal-setting meeting

Erin initiated a conversation about establishing a meeting for those interested to discuss the the goals of this group and possibly formalizing a common focus. She recommended going to coffee, and that it is informal. If you are interested in joining this meeting, e-mail [email protected] She will set up a meeting time and place.

Action Brainstorms (Post-Walk Out)

• Networking with poeple in Denver, and occupying a senator's office
• organizing a concert and speak-out, and inviting people from Boulder and Denver
• coalition of state-wide campuses
• small grassroots demonstrations for people to notice us
• work with adults, and possibly setup a liaison/representative to go to the adult meetings (at RMPJC).
• Indefinite loggia table! Mix up locations, be extreme.

Explanation of bombing illegality

Colin gave a succinct explanation of why this bombing could be considered illegal. He asserted that it violated many doctrines of international law, including the UN Charter and international customs that are binding in an international court. He plans on writing something up on this with work's cited and more research. When he's done he will e-mail it to the list.

Sign-up sheets and other announcements

• Rebecca passed around the sign-up sheet to table the Hip-Hop Congress, which is happening this Friday from 12-5. It should be slamming, so go go go. If you want more information about this, e-mail [email protected]
• Eric passed around a sign-up sheet to receive more information about going to protest the School of Americas. If you want more information about this, e-mail [email protected]
• If you have any event that you think would be good on this site, e-mail [email protected]
• Members of the group went and did chalking right after the meeting.
