How might we...
- Base Building: How might we improve our engagement with our members/base to build power?
- How might we create communities rooted in freedom and liberation for all people?
- How might we develop an organizing strategy rooted in a long arc, with the power to win a just and equitable city and state?
- How might I invite a small group to invest relationally and strategically to vision over 7 generations (e.g. long term)?
- How might we develop an organizing strategy rooted in a long arc, with the power to win a just and equitable city and state?
Hypothesis
Connecting as a breakfast club, echo to GC’s founding, then envisioning our desired future will make strategic impact, immediately and lasting, in our organizing.
Design
- Zoom Event with parent organizers.
- Do this in April.
- Want 6 people at minimum, 8 people max.
- Once have POP will share out with people.
- How can people be linked? Considering food or other things.
- Agenda
- Ground in current moment and think about when young people in our orgs now or some generational point.
- As a parent, convo with other parents who are organizers thinking about own children, imagining them at your age. What’s the story of organizing responses that happens?
- In this moment, we are doing things, but not sure what is possible in the political strategic moment, not understanding it yet.
Metrics
GOAL | MEASURE
- We spend time embodying our future selves for a portion.
- People see and feel the strategic value now of doing this future thinking work. This as a necessity rather than a luxury.
- We ground in our bodies and access our imaginations (and this helps us be in the present and clearly vision our desired future).
- Imagination is more important than knowledge!!! There is drawing.
- People have a new thought or idea or connection to what might be possible. Resonance of people feeling energized and filled up and wanting to come back again.
- Heart connection with each other
- Also: Evening tweet and then turn off at 9pm.
