2023-08-02 WE Protect Freedom! Meeting Agenda

It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.

Everyone is welcome to contact Jason or Sherri to add their presentations to this agenda, or be added to the list in person. We're only beginning to learn, put into practice, and intentionally bring more civilized efficient order and effective action for greater results. Please read the recommended reading before the meeting. Ray will print out 20 copies of a simplified version of the more detailed online agenda.

We can try to start the meeting on time, keep it to 60 minutes or 90 minutes max, 120 minutes under extreme circumstances. The following time allotments minutes are guesstimates to keep us on track and for the chair to maintain a schedule at their discretion. Unfortunately we the Q&A + discussions won't be as long as folks may want - but they are free to network to discuss outside the meetings.

This singular meeting and agenda is an experiment in action and organization. Nothing here is written in stone. If people hate it, dislike most of it, appreciate some of it, or actually enjoy many aspects of it, meetings hereafter may reference and utilize whatever elements they wish. Meetings like this won't ever happen again - unless people want it. Keep in mind that this first attempt may have awkward things that may improve with practice, or be better in a different way. In short - try not to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

  1. 00-00 Opening declaration.
  2. 00-01 Read: Agenda.
  3. 01-03 Read: Last Minutes.
  4. 03-04 Q&A + discussion
  5. 04-07 Ray : Meeting management: PostIts, uninterrupted presentations, chair controls, hand gestures, etc.
  6. 07-10 Q&A + discussion
  7. 10-13 Jason : Terminology: Do-ocracy.
    • Over a year ago at the Green Room, the do-ocracy concept was appreciated after being introduced by Jason who learned of it via autonomous Burning Man communities.
    • Jason mirrored an existing CommunityWiki article then forked it by adding a few paragraphs to Do-ocracy.
    • Doing things without engaging, including, and involving the larger group will only ever be self-interest projects cloaked as community work.
    • Informed discussion without action is just as effective at resisting tyranny as cowardice, inaction, and ignorance.
    • Ambitious or not, finished or not, large or not, recent or not, successful or not - all of Jason's efforts are "authorized", founded in, and justified by our do-ocracy principles.
    • These concepts along with the room and long overdue need for change, organization, and action are the fundamental catalysts that ignited Jason's current explosion of development activity. Not to mention the global perpetual war demanding effective resistance.
  8. 13-18 Q&A + discussion
  9. 18-23 Pastor Alin : Outdoor church + police.

  14. 41-44 Q&A + discussion
  15. 44-47 Jason : Presentation: Drilling down to define what we're about, an initial overview of WE Protect Freedom! issues for consideration and future development discussions. Impossible time constraints force us to deal with, discuss, and resolve these across future meetings:
    • Better organizing our agendas, goals, management, etc.
    • Initiate actions, calendars, event planning, mission statements, etc.
    • Preparing assignments, homework, research, etc. in order that knowledgeable people come prepared to meetings for actionable organizing, rather than needing teaching or just socializing. (We may form a social group if we like - or leave this as a social group and form an action group. Perhaps revive the Sanctuary Social Club?)
  16. 47-50 Q&A + discussion
  17. 50-52 Jason : Discussion: How open do we want to be? Starting the conversation.
    • Keep our community informed of what we meet about.
    • Keep it open for folks to join (anticipating and preparing for infiltrators).
    • Share information openly online (ie. Projex.Wiki, FreedomAllianceCanada.ca), in emails, and Facebook.
    • What information is not open, private, or needs guarding?
  18. 52-57 Q&A + discussion
  19. 57-59 Jason : Meeting management: Running meetings efficiently with civility - A Short Guide to Consensus Building.pdf verses Robert's Rules of Order
  20. 59-62 Q&A + discussion
  21. 62-63 Jason : Meeting management: Establish time constraints for presentations, develop flexibility protocols, get a call bell, and improve the #Agendas documentation.
  22. 63-64 Q&A + discussion
  23. 64-69 Jason : Read: Potential future agenda items. Even if these potential future agenda items haven't yet been presented, folks may want to be aware of upcoming topics, research them, get involved, get prepared, and/or have more to add.

  1. Jason : Presentation: Branding, ongoing presentation and discussion. (See also: Branding developments)
  2. Jason : Discussion, event planning, management, and networking resources: Who wants to plan and organize future events as well as establish our calendar of events?
    • Openly share the calendar online aggregated in one place that may then be copied, decentralized, linked, mirrored, propagated, referenced, etc.
    • Include participation with overlapping and regional communities, political parties, groups, and individuals to share whatever they wish, on their terms, with minimal conditions or strings attached.
    • Perhaps create other private calendars?, for reasons yet to be discussed and determined.
    • Example events: Future guests, Labour Day plans, Halloween Party, protests, rallies, social events, etc.
    • Start by organizing our calendar and lists, perhaps on a spreadsheet, featuring event categories, guest categories, featured local folks, topical issues, notable dates and anniversaries, needs, wants, wishes, resources, peripheral pavilions, other communities, volunteers, and communications.
  3. Jason & Others : Discussion and brainstorming: Future Alarms For Sheeple! Develop a campaign of simple slogans, signs, cards, flyers, etc. to preemptively predict and attack the Great Reset with the Great Rejection and Great Resistance - focusing on future weaponized problems (15 Minute Cities, Starvation Agenda, Currency, Housing, Immigration, Drugs, Crime, Grooming, etc.)
  4. Jason : Discussion and brainstorming: Common Law ideas, education, resources, etc.
  5. Jason : Discussion, event planning, management, and networking resources: Who wants to plan, organize, and establish our cross-community newsletter?

    • Include participation with overlapping and regional communities, political parties, groups, and individuals to share whatever they wish, on their terms, with minimal conditions or strings attached.
    • Newsletter contributions would cover who they are, actions, events, future plans, goals, ideas, etc. with a focus on freedom actions (resisting tyranny) and prepping (alternatives, analysis, arts, autonomy, care, communications, community, culture, defense, DIY, economics, education, employment, energy, entertainment, faith, food security, gardening, health, homesteading, helping, information, justice, local news, making, organizing, politics, resources, solutions, transportation).
