Thanks, Renee! I think it looks great!
Matt -- please let me know when you have made updates to the dollar bill
design.
Related -- do you all think we should share the draft designs with folks on
the Signal thread for additional comment before we place the order? I don't
want to slow things down too much, but LéTania's comments are a good
reminder that language matters.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Okay, I updated the postcard with the following language:
"Mayor Durkan: Stop getting in the way of Participatory Budgeting! Let
people fighting for Black liberation lead the way to the most equitable PB
process Seattle has ever had."
Let me know if you have edits. Otherwise I will assume it's good to go.
Thanks!

Great catch, Renee. Thanks for flagging this change before we go to
print.
And huge thanks to you too, Matt, for finishing up the dollar bill
design! It looks amazing! As a newbie to Next Day Flyers, I appreciate the
order specifications too.
Does this mean the hashtag is changing from #FreeThePBFunds to #FreePB
(or something that doesn't reference the funds)?
Assuming for a moment that the answer is "yes," here are some thoughts on
how we might tidy up the designs. Other ideas/clarifications/questions are
welcome!
- On the front of dollar bill design, change #FreeThePBFunds to
#FreePB (or something else that doesn't reference the funds)
- On the back of both designs: replace the header sentence "Mayor
Durkan: Release the funds for participatory budgeting!" with "Mayor
Durkan:
Stop getting in the way of Participatory Budgeting!"
- Also - I really liked the "stamp out white supremacy" in the top
right corner of the dollar bill design. Maybe we could add that to the
back
of the dove design if it's not too much trouble?
I am not skilled enough to know how to make the edits otherwise I would.
I'm on standby to get the order placed so let me know when they are
updated.

Hi all,
Matt, the postcard is beautiful! I asked LéTania to give the postcards a
quick look before they go to print. Here is their feedback:
*"One change. Instead of free the funds we are using free PB.Durkan
doesn't have the funds yet. Sorry for the confusion.Here's some language we
are using if it's helpful:Hi Mayor Durkan,Stop blocking the community
process for Participatory Budgeting (PB)!Stop getting in the way of PB!Stop
trying to put PB resources into different places!Stop trying to take over
the PB process!Stop trying to speak for community!You signed off on a
budget that allocated $28 million to PB. We are ready for you to get out of
the way and let people fighting for Black liberation lead the way to the
most equitable PB process Seattle has ever had."*
So we will need to do a quick edit of the postcard language and email
and phone scripts. I can do this later tonight unless anyone else wants to.
Thanks,
Renee

There are two separate files to upload, one for the front & one for
the back.
Size: *4 x 6" * (note: I made it this size because it's the largest
which you can still use .36 cent postcard stamp with)
Front side: full color (you don't have a choice here with
nextdayflyers)
Back side: *Black or Greyscale*
Paper Stock: *14 pt. Cardstock* is good
Coating: I'd go with either *High Gloss Front / Uncoated Back *or
*Uncoated
Both Sides *("uncoated both sides" might look best with this
design, but it's a little more expensive. High gloss front will look good
too. But definitely make sure you have the back uncoated! This makes it
easy to write on with any kind of pen or pencil.)

Hi friends --
I did a test on the Next Day Flyers platform today and it looks like
the layout for Renee's doc works great. I haven't seen the PDF proof (I
need to place the order to activate that process), but it loaded to the
site just fine and it recognized page 1 as front and page 2 as back.
Matt -- if you are able to get the dollar bill design to fit the
same format as Renee's doc we should be good to go.
Also -- looks like ~$50 per 100 so I'll plan to do 100 of each. We
can always order more if needed.
Just let me know when the designs are updated and in the

I made a few comments and suggestions regarding language in the

docs. In general I tried to emphasize that PB is part of the defund
SPD
movement. In particular, on the postcards it might be worth saying
"This
process must center those most impacted by violent policing" instead
of
just violent "systems." Maybe we could even say something stronger
than
that, or include "Defund SPD" on both postcards somewhere.

I still need to make sure this will work in the Next Day Flyer

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

Not bad. Idea to prototype in 24 hours!

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

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?

I'm definitely down for a postcard campaign and

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!

The beauty of anti-racism is that you don’t have to pretend to be
free of racism to be an anti-racist. Anti-racism is the commitment to
fight
racism wherever you find it, including in yourself.
And it’s the only way forward. — Ijeoma Oluo
