I propose that we align on a time for our next meeting at the 6/11 chapter
meeting!
Thanks y'all, hope to see everyone Sunday.

Thanks Jep. I agree that the rally is more important than the meeting. I'm
not on slack, can you send me an invite (guess it's about time I learn how
to use it).

Hi All,
If you haven't been invited to join Portland DSA Slack, please let me know
and I'll send you an invite. I think it is now important that we all are on
Slack because we don't want to be left out on general discussion, events,
etc.
In case you are not on Slack, below is a message from Cari Luna. This
means that to facilitate DSA's participation, we should NOT hold our next
work group meeting on Sunday, June 4th, despite the best turnout so far.
Portland DSA's June Chapter Meeting is on Sunday, June 11th. Any ideas on
when we should meet? Leadership is one of the agenda items, and I will also
report on potential connection with NAACP (National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People).
Thanks,
Jep

"Hi all,Last night we took part in a productive planning meeting for
Sunday’s Portland Stands United Against Hate rally. I encourage all of you
to join us at the rally, and to help spread the word about it. Safety was
a major topic of conversation at the meeting, as you might expect.
Organizers have met with Mayor Wheeler and a representative of the police
department. This rally is permitted. The police will form a line on the
outside of our rally and another line on the outside of the right-wing
extremist rally. So there will be two lines of police officers and a lane
of traffic between the two groups. Our rally is expressly intended to be
non-violent. The intention is to show Portland’s opposition to racism and
bigotry through our numbers. A big turnout is key.Two other rallies are
also being planned that intend to be more confrontational. There will be an
antifa rally closer to the right-wing rally, as well as another group who
intends to rally in the same space as the right-wing extremists and hold
the plaza to try to keep the far-right out. Portland DSA will be meeting
at the rally to stand together with our banner. Stay tuned for the location.In
the meantime, please help spread the word about the rally. The far right is
trying to stake a claim in Portland. We want a huge turnout to dwarf theirs.
