Note from Wayne: I would like to propose a new agenda item for our meeting. That we move beyond doing drawdown events to inspire, educate and motivate the ranks of activists. That we pro actively connect with groups, county wide and build and/or join in a coalition to march around the county getting cities to declare a climate emergency which in turn can lead to a change in development, land use, transportation, fire restoration, housing, homelessness and energy policy, all of which though giving lip service to climate change are currently institutionally and legally structured in ways that delivers contradictory outcomes. The continued development of market rate housing and road construction are only two examples of digging the hole deeper.
Regarding agenda -- last phone meeting we decided to look into using the old seed bank building in Petaluma as a location for a Drawdown introduction in town that would be much more visible than the one at the Oasis. Connie and I went to the location today and spoke with Kate who is booking that building for Nick Papadopoulos. Nick's plan for the building is to be a community hub and as such he is very interested in collaborations with community group. Connie will try to get in touch with Nick before our meeting and Wayne will get in touch with a range of groups such as Daily Acts, Conservation Action, North Bay Organizing Project, Margie Helm and St. Vincent Church to see if a co-sponsorship can be arranged that would match Nicks desire for community collaborations and create synergy.
