Core Meeting 4/13/10

We decided that we would all go to the rally on May Day, Saturday, May 1st.

We would try to mobilize some people

Truc will contact Peter about some interested students

STIRR Facebook (Judy)

Event mailing list (Karen)

Get on AARW calendar (Michael)

API Movement non-core contacts (Michael)

 

We are waiting on Karen contact with CPA about a place and time to congregate

 

2. Events As Part of AARW Series

Desired: Philadelphia Beatings

Helen Gym, Cecelia Chan

 

(Mike will pass contact info to Todd)

 

Future and contingent topics

Women Activist Issues

Health Care Reform (everyone check interest with contacts - who might come)

Immmigrant Rights (see below)

 

3. What to do with ATI and STIRR

ATI

more API Movement general members involved - it's a way to keep contact

larger circle of contacts also around it

limited API Movement core influence and role - maybe encourage participation, insert module in curriculum, provide some resources, have a representative

 

We should do it.

 

STIRR

The issue that most of us, particularly Karen and Judy are more concerned about - action and not just training

limited to the Core

 

Decision: to step back STIRR work to education about immigrant rights

This way, we can work into AARW community building events, educational workshops for workers, and maybe ATI

Judy will participate in other formations representing API Movement but let them know we're mainly focused on education

 

4. Working with API Movement general members

Partly addressed through ATI

We need to discuss more about people like Terri and Suzanne Pan, who aren't involved in ATI

 

Next meeting

6PM CPA on April 29th if we can mobilize some others to go on May Day march

Agenda will be full meeting as well as discussing organizign the others

If no one else going, then we'll meet on

 

May 11th.
