I just printed and it looks great! We don't have a color printer, but the
aspect ratio is perfect.
I still need to make sure this will work in the Next Day Flyer template.
Britta - I may need to connect with you on that piece at some point given
that you're more familiar with their services.
Once we've got the dollar bill design prepped I'll load these to the Next
Day Flyers platform and place the order.
Not bad. Idea to prototype in 24 hours!

I love it Matt!! Made a couple minor suggestions on the Jamboard but I
think it's about ready to go.
I inverted the colors on the one I made so it wouldn't take so much
printer ink. Would someone be willing to print this out as a prototype over
the next day or so? I don't have access to a printer at the moment.
Thanks,
Renee

Amazing, Matt!
Yes I agree with Brock, the language on the back of Renee's postcard is
great :)

Per your point on a crowded back, I kind of like how this one got
streamlined. Maybe we could use this copy and layout on all designs?

Thank you Brock, that summary was so helpful!
& thanks everyone who's been working away today!
I have a draft BLM $$ postcard design. You can find it on page 5 of
last night's jamboard ...

My thought is everyone can leave comments/suggestions there & I'll
swing back tomorrow to make changes.
Please feel free to suggest / edit !! I'd love your help in making this
the best.

Thank you for the stellar summary, Brock!
We can certainly see if folks from the signal group are able to chip
in!
I also imagine a google folder would suffice. If designers can drop
finished work here
<https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1JcBDCi0Bb5lIBsuTymcI57GdkVvqWDr0>
that would be great! Renee is creating a 'week of action' doc with
instructions on where to download the graphics.
To give Henea more context - the postcards will also be part of the
#FreeThePBFunds 'Week of Action' starting 4/19:
MON - Call Jenny
TUES - Tweet Jenny
WED - Email
THURS - Postcards
FRI - March to Jenny's house with Black Action Coalition
For sake of communicating to the public about logistics:
• Ideally by Sunday or Monday we can confirm which businesses are
willing to keep stacks for pickup.
• Postcards can be distributed to businesses by Wednesday.
Does the above seem doable? If we need more time to distribute
physical postcards it's no problem, but it would affect the language on
the
Instagram posts. I hope to roll out a post by Sunday evening, and another
related post on Thursday morning.
Would you all be into listing the businesses you plan to approach and
mark if they've confirmed in this doc
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KaYoGjeTLKQ0oq78fzCxoaYH4rux7_782KfaEJ97ojY/edit>

Thank you!

Great summary Brock thank you!
We could host the print at home image via the newsletter for one.
Just a link to the image file on google drive will probably suffice?

Of course!--
Here's a summary
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KaYoGjeTLKQ0oq78fzCxoaYH4rux7_782KfaEJ97ojY/edit>
doc
with some of the outcomes of last night's meeting. It may be kind of
hard
to interpret, but here are the basics (others should chime in with
amendments/additions/questions/etc):
- We are planning to create postcards that can be mailed to the
Mayor's Office asking that she release the funds for participatory
budgeting now
- We're designing around two use cases: (1) folks are
handed/pick up a physical postcard, add a personal note and mail it
and (2)
folks print at home, attach it to a notecard or piece of cardboard,
add a
personal note and mail it
- Matt is leading design work around a dollar bill centric theme
(see page 3 here
<https://jamboard.google.com/d/1i7zDGMAyziXNdRxQC303lXBC--LVxgp2VHULcP2_7Ns/viewer?f=2>
)
- Britta is (I think?) leading design work around a second
design theme that features a dove
- Text for the back of the postcards (consistent across both
designs) is in this doc
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KaYoGjeTLKQ0oq78fzCxoaYH4rux7_782KfaEJ97ojY/edit>
- Once these are ready for printing, I'm planning to submit for
printing -- planning on 100-200 physical copies (I'll front the
money and
hopefully others can reimburse whatever they are able).
- Sharon is going to help distribution to folks, but the vision
is that physical postcards would be distributed at upcoming events
and
dropped at coffee shops, etc. (e.g., The Station on Beacon Hill)
We still need to decide:
- Plan for hosting the image for the "print at home" use case
- Does anyone want to lead a third design?
- Other stuff?
Sharon, Renee, Peter, Matt and Britta -- anything I'm missing?

Hi all,
Thank you for all your amazing ideas, and for introducing these
important long term considerations! A few extra thoughts come to
mind:
• I wonder if the images we make for the PB postcard campaign
can also be formatted for Instagram.
• Brock, thank you for rallying around CB 119981 and the
important data points from the State of the Defund event! Council
is unable
to make any votes on the bill because SPD hasn't responded to
requests made
by the Consent Decree monitor. The Defend The Defund group is
currently
strategizing around this and there's definitely a need for help on
the
social campaign front! In case anyone in this thread is interested
in being
involved, there will be a 'new engagement' meeting tomorrow
(Wednesday) at
7pm. Please see details below. :)
• *Longer term consideration* - Related to Matt & Britt's
bullet point on 'assignments': because there's a natural overlap
between PB
and Defend The Defund efforts, I see an opportunity to parse out
which
group takes on certain campaigns / calls-to-action in order to
make the
most of our collective labor. For example, during a recent Defend
meeting
we talked about creating a campaign that highlights existing
community-led
harm prevention efforts to illustrate how PB money can be spent. I
wonder
if campaigns like this can find a natural home under PB Creators.
We can
then cross-promote and boost content with the orgs we've been
coordinating
with, namely Decrim Seattle and Black Action Coalition. I
acknowledge that
tightening our coordination with the Defend group also assumes
that we're
interested in building a consistent team who can work together
longer-term.
I apologize if this sounds overwhelming to folks not already in
both groups -- I'm personally fumbling through how to be more
economical
when engaging in overlapping efforts. I welcome discussion, but
also
understand if my last bullet point is better off shelved!
Best,
Sharon

Hi everyone,
Working on PB postcards for a campaign to pressure the city
sounds like a great plan for Thursday!
I was talking with Britta today, and here are some ideas /
things to think about that came up in our conversation.
Looking forward to seeing you all!
Matt
*Suggestion for Thursday's meeting:*
- 10 min: group brainstorm to devise one or two (at most!)
messages / slogans / central points for everyone to focus on
- 30 min: break out into pairs to work on design ideas
(one person working with words, the other with images)
- 10 min: back together to share work-in-progress / get
feedback
- Homework: work up rough ideas into finished artwork
Once we have some designs we like:
- Do we want to print copies & distribute?
- How do we get them to people who may mail them in?
*Longer-term questions (not for this Thursday!):*
- Are we more interested in:
1. building resources / entry-points / events for people
who want to do a bit of creative PB support, or
2. building a team who works together over a
longer-term on creative PB support?
- Do we want more concrete messaging guidance from PB /
Abolition movement leaders? (i.e. assignments?) If yes, how do
we arrange
this?
- Who is the audience for things we make?
- How do we get things out into community? (what are the
conduits?)
- Are there people we want to bring into this work?
- Once there is PB $$$ and BiPOC artists and designers are
being commissioned, what kind of support can we offer that
would be
genuinely useful?

Hi all,
I love all these ideas. I think a postcard campaign would be
SO GREAT for getting more attention back on PB, which is
obviously needed.
Matt and I also talked earlier about making sure we have a
good amount of time to create together. Dare I suggest we should
each
create our own postcard on Thursday?

I'm definitely down for a postcard campaign and agree that
it seems more urgent given the precarious state of PB funding.
More info
from LéTania or others is welcome.
Do we know, for example, when CB 119981 might be back on the
committee agenda? I looked at Legistar
<http://seattle.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=4733027&GUID=DD73B325-1099-47BB-BEFB-32BDA3246B7A>

Hi,
I think these are great ideas, Brock. I'm wondering if we
may want to focus on participatory budgeting as it seems the
Mayor and
others are trying to stop it. I was thinking we could do a
postcard
campaign (Brock's idea from last meeting). I talked with
LéTania about it
and they think it's a good idea and will get us some more info
if we want
to go that route.

Hello all --
I am looking forward to the meeting on the 15th. Two quick
thoughts for the agenda:
- On the Defund teach-in (happening right now!), folks
were sharing some useful data points related to the budget
and other things
(e.g., SPD budget currently makes up 25% of the City's
general fund budget.
Only 1.3% of SPD responses are for violent crime, etc). It
made me think
that one thing we could focus on this week is
identifying/gathering useful
data points and talking through/creating some infographics
to illustrate
them?
- I also think it might help if we focus creation
around drawing attention to/encouraging action around
specific near term
event (e.g., Council action on CB 119981).
Excited for other ideas and to catching up on Thursday!

Dear Seattle PB Creators,
Let's get together for another creation session next
week!
Save the date: April 15, 7-8 pm.
Last week, we spent a good amount of time talking about
group logistics and news. I hope this time we can spend a
majority of our
time together creating in some form. Canva and/or a jamboard
might be good
places to springboard from.
Please reply if you have ideas for how to structure our
time together and/or would like to help plan.
All are welcome and encouraged to contribute.
Best,
Peter
