One of our group projects for 2025, is to create a Policy Platform.

From a Process perspective, we want to accomplish multiple goals:

• Spur dialogue across our community about what issues are most pressing
• Dig into specific policy options and deepen collective knowledge
• Have discussion about where and how disagree with the hopes of finding common ground

From an Outcomes perspective, we hope a unifying platform will allow us to:

• Go to current local and state legislators with a series of requests
• Make proposals to Attorney Generals about how they can pursue equity
• Use joint actions to demonstrate how many people support these policies

This process began at a community session in 2024.  We took the notes from that session and turned it into a first draft for comment.  You can see the first draft here and the running feedback on that draft here.

We will work on a revised draft and circulate that to people signed up for this community feedback session.

If policy is what lights you up, we encourage you to join us. We welcome everyone, especially those looking to learn more about specific policy strategies.

Over the course of 2025, we will host a series of deep dives into each of the Platform “planks” to create the detail.  This session will be focused on the Introduction, tone and what “planks” to include.

Our first session is on Tue Feb 25 at either 10am or 4pm Pacific for our Platform discussions.
