run-around. They said that we were supposed to have applications in last March.
No call back from New Parks Department, Arroyo, or Turner’s offices yet.
John H mentions that Arroyo is committed to this—get him to help us. Mark
asks if a permit is really necessary. Yes, due to need for electricity for
bands, and sound; need to build broadly means that we need to include people
who are not yet willing to be arrested; we want to be able to include
immigrants, who wouldn’t participate if getting into legal trouble was a
possibility.</p>

List of new endorsers includes but is not limited to: ACORN, Traprock, etc.,
(Sorry Christine—you listed them so fast I couldn’t jot them down
fast enough! There were about a dozen new endorsers. Very impressive!) Mentions
that tabling was done at the <st1:place w:st="on">Galloway</st1:place> event.
Meetings were set up with Jobs with Justice, QueerToday.com, etc. Amy C is
drafting a contingency letter about how groups can endorse and get involved.
Devising a strategy for leafleting (lower income neighborhoods, colleges, etc.)
We need flyering volunteers for Hempfest, Cindy Sheehan, Jericho Boston, and
Midea Benjamin. Cost of flyers an issue. Need to follow u with Equal Exchanges.
Need Speakers for 10/8 fundraising event. Need to get Cindy Sheehan to endorse
and announce. Visibility Saturdays a good idea. African American churches
should be approached for their endorsements. Chuck Turner/District 7: we may
not be able to meet their conditions for endorsement (he wants us to include
50% cut in military budget as a demand, he wants (as do we) more diversity in
the coalition.) <b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'><span style='font-weight:
bold;mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>As a part of this discussion, we voted to
restore Hurricane Katrina relief language as a demand, linking it with the <st1:country-region

near unanimous vote (1 abstention), but the precise language was left up to a
committee that was to discuss it over the weekend. John H would head this up. </span></b>Another
proposal to include language demanding Bush’s impeachment and Chuck
Turner’s military budget demands would have to wait until the Monday
meeting due to time constraints. </p>

this Saturday at Nate’s place. 280 capacity. Need people to flyer
JP. We can’t count on a cut of the proceeds from the bar take. Brian
is still working on getting us a Bank Account, should be a couple of days
more. We passed the hat and raised $63. </li>
