MINUTES::: Campus Progressive Meeting - Notes 25 February 2004, Elisa Attendance: Adam, Amanda, Duy, Elisa, Jaime, Mike, Neil, Yehuda, Zahra, and three friendly faces from the LaRouche campaign – Mike, Steve, and Nick (?) Tonight’s theme:
Agenda items (in chronological order of their scheduled times): March 4th: Protests and marches to Taco Bell headquarters in Irvine and Kentucky. Mike is going to send out an e-mail with more information and details for interested parties from the Long Beach area. March 15th: Social Students: Lacking on the details, but there is some sort of organization expo on Monday, March 15 from 3-8pm. Zahra will get more information. In the meantime, we have the following volunteers: Amanda at 6:30, Adam at 5:00, Jaime at 6:00, Aida at 5:30, Elisa at 4:00, Yehuda – TBA. We’ll be handing out flyers and brochures. March 18th: Teach-out on War in Iraq. We’re waiting on University Police to give clearance that our guest speakers are not terrorists. Let’s give ‘em a big “thank you” for keeping us safe. Speakers will begin at 12 noon and be able to speak for 15-20 minutes, 5 additional for discussion. We’re looking into alternatives to the Event Planning-supplied PA system to keep costs down. Zahra’s investigating chair set-up. Neil or Yehuda can operate the equipment (saving us tons of money). Jaime, Neil, and anyone else interested are designing flyers. Here’s the basic information that we need on the advertising: CAMPUS PROGRESSIVES COLLECTIVE present
March 20th: Handing out leaflets (rather than tabling) for the March 20th ANSWER-organized protest against Bush and the War and all the other evils in this cruel, cruel world… We’ll focus on that as the date draws nearer. March 29th: Video screening of Uncovered: The Whole Truth about the Iraq War. More cost-effective options for obtaining the video equipment are being explored, but everything else is set: Monday, March 29th at 6pm in the Beach Auditorium. Film runs approx. one hour. FREE admission. Flyer designs welcome. Weekly: UFCW: Grocery workers strike support. Amanda and Jaime are our two dedicated representatives, and anyone is welcome to join at the Albertsons on Redondo from 11-2, Sundays. On-going: FUNDING: Though we’re trying to cut costs wherever we can, some are unavoidable. We’ve received generous donations from Peter Carr Peace Center, Sherna Gluck, and fellow members. If you have not yet contributed, consider helping out, even if it’s a dollar or two. Donations will be deposited into our organization account at the ASI Business Office. :::
