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

it was unclear to me.

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.
Looking forward to seeing you all,
Renee

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

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
