tennessee is a pretty big albeit awkwardly shaped state ... from the southwest corner (near memphis) to the northeast corner (past johnson city) it's somewhere between 500 and 600 miles (that's between 800 and 960 km for those of us from outside the silly u.s.)...so if you want to check in (in real time) with other human rights organizers and activists here in the volunteer state you got basically 2 choices - chat rooms and conference calls ...
well chat rooms are a little messy and people like myself type w/2 or 3 fingers so a conference call is really the best option ... and now there are no fee conference call facilitators whereby participants simply pay the cost of the the long distance call itself...
so what'll we talk about??? well, we'll find out what campaigns each group wants to work on so that we can coordinate efforts and maximize outcomes, mobilize for the regional conference in new orleans, see how we can support our statewide stop violence against women campaign coordinator, and plan for a statewide face-to-face in the spring (prolly' somewhere in middle tennessee as a geographic compromise), and at baseline set foundations for building relationships and trust...
so if you're around a week from today (next wednesday) call in at 8 p.m. eastern by calling 1-712-432-2323 and using code # 58156 ... we got nothing to hide...
peace out <3
