Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce that I have conversed with part of the team and we have our first project idea! While we are still going to have our first meeting very soon, this project is super easy to start off and contribute virtually.
But first an update: Have you seen any of our signs downtown? We're hoping they're catching people's eyes, and we have gotten a few more fans on Facebook! We are super thankful to Rainbow Youth for helping hand out flyers at Capitol Pride last Saturday. Currently we are discussing where to hold the first meeting. Suggestions have been parks and coffee shops. We need your input on everything, don't be shy!
The project:
This will be an on-going project for, hopefully quite some time. Everyone is encouraged to participate in order to start getting involved in the spirit of the organization. What will happen is everyone is going to think, long and hard, about a topic that is very important to them, be it gay rights, racial discrimination, domestic violence, campaigning for Obama 2012, etc., and we will each create a plan of action as to how we would go about getting the word out, and making a difference.
We will then create an ever-expanding book showing each project and each project's progress. We will pull out examples for our presentations (which will happen shortly after our first meeting), and we will all work individually and in unity.
Everyone can pitch in on anyone's project, dual projects are acceptable, and eventually the projects that have brilliant potential can become one of our group's main group projects.
What to do now: Start drafting, post all of your updates and ideas and brainstorms on our facebook page, send them to the email for feedback, or post them to this blog. It doesn't have to be well thought out yet, you can even post lists of possibilities. We just ask, please, participate and spread the word.
Thanks for all of the support thus far,
Sydney Agee
