How might we...

• Base Building: How might we improve our engagement with our members/base to build power?

• How might I invite a small group to invest relationally and strategically to vision over 7 generations (e.g. long term)?

• How might we create communities rooted in freedom and liberation for all people?

• How might we develop an organizing strategy rooted in a long arc, with the power to win a just and equitable city and state?

Hypothesis

Connecting as a breakfast club, echo to GC’s founding, then envisioning our desired future will make strategic impact, immediately and lasting, in our organizing.

Design

• Zoom Event with parent organizers. 
• Do this in April. 
• Want 6 people at minimum, 8 people max. 
• Once have POP will share out with people. 
• How can people be linked? Considering food or other things.

• Agenda
  •  Ground in current moment and think about when young people in our orgs now or some generational point.
  • As a parent, convo with other parents who are organizers thinking about own children, imagining them at your age. What’s the story of  organizing responses that happens? 
  • In this moment, we are doing things, but not sure what is possible in the political strategic moment, not understanding it yet.

 

Metrics

GOAL | MEASURE

• We spend time embodying our future selves for a portion. 
• People see and feel the strategic value now of doing this future thinking work. This as a necessity rather than a luxury. 
• We ground in our bodies and access our imaginations (and this helps us be in the present and clearly vision our desired future).
• Imagination is more important than knowledge!!! There is drawing.
• People have a new thought or idea or connection to what might be possible. Resonance of people feeling energized and filled up and wanting to come back again.
• Heart connection with each other
• Also:  Evening tweet and then turn off at 9pm.
