[OccupyCU] Agenda Item

[Ricky Baldwin]

I can't make it tonight, but just wanted to say this training should be helpful.  I am with SEIU, too, but as a community activist I have always been in favor of community activists receiving training to put in our bags of tricks.  The 1% of course have people who do their media work for them, but they get lots of expensive training for sure.  To counter that, our 'side' needs to share our knowledge of such things whenever we can.

Ooh - another agenda item, long overdue: Jennifer Hornbook of SEIU (she's on this list) asked (a couple weeks ago, missed note until now) whether any of us would be interested in media training.   Would we?   I'm not sure what this would amount to -- finding good contacts?  thinking about composing a useful message?  Knowing whom to call when?  Anyway we have this offer.

Also and maybe related - I heard a sharp comment from a local woman, asking, What does Occupy stand for, other than anger?  She knew perfectly well the story of the injustice of the bank bailout, concentration of wealth, all that.  But what does Occupy *want*?  I told her about projects that various of us are up to, from Move to Amend to the jail opposition to housing, and she seemed impressed.  But she'd never heard of them.  Said we need more of a public presence.  Maybe media training could be relevant.
