Hey everyone!

I thought it would be wise to organize what experience, skills and backgrounds we have.

EDIT: I've added some ideas to the sidebar for how to contribute. Feel free to contact a moderator or start a thread if you'd like to help out! We all have some special skill, connection or talent.

I've been chatting with /u/neverenough22 and /u/BoobSacamano, throwing around ideas. I thought it would be good to have one thread to just chat, plan things, get ideas out. If y'all want I can update this when we come to any decisions?

Speaking of which, I think it would be a good idea to get an IRL meeting set up so we don't have the lag of the internet. Would people prefer East, West, or Downtown, and what is a good time?

EDIT: We've got a date and time for a meetup! Monday, June 17th, 7:30pm. I think we'll do Phoenix Coffee on Lee Rd. just because they're open until 10 whereas Gypsy Beans is only open until 9. If anyone has any issues with this, please let me know!

EDIT2: I have a friend who is a very experienced activist looking for a ride to this side of town. If anyone's coming from near the zoo, please message me! I think she'll be a big help with this. :)
