2) Discussion and vote on splitting the branch (30 min)
We've grown a lot in this last year and have been discussing for the past month whether to split into two Seattle branches -- a student led branch at UW and a community branch that would meet elsewhere in the city. We'll wrap up the discussion and take a vote on the proposal. Then, if it passes,we'll be breaking out in the next section into our new branches rather than just committees!
3) Breakouts (40 min)
We'll break out into new branches or sub-committees (depending on the above vote) and discuss our organizing on and off campus. There are many very important campaigns afoot from abortion rights to police brutality and as the Wisconsin solidarity movement is morphing into a larger national struggle to defend collective bargaining rights. There are actions at the capitol in Olympia as well as cross boarder solidarity actions happening at Peace Arch at the Canada WA border to begin planing for.
