DESCRIPTION:Greetings!\n \nIMPACT! is excited to announce the next monthly gathering of 
 Sonoma County community organizations and activists this Sunday, March 1st 
 at Noon. The meeting will be held at the Peace and Justice Center in Santa 
 Rosa. (467 Sebastopol Ave.). Last month, approximately 40 people, 
 representing about 27 different organizations, met to hear about each 
 other's projects and discussed ideas for collaboration between movements 
 and causes, such as the Spring Into Action! campaign (a month of actions 
 and events from April 1st to May 1st). This time, we want to focus the 
 meeting on more discussions aimed at building solidarity between our 
 organizations and creating a unified movement for social justice here in 
 Sonoma County. How can we bridge the gap between our causes? How can we 
 create lasting and sustainable movements locally? What actions can we take 
 in the future to strengten our movement and build solidarity?\n\nThe 
 proposed agenda looks something like this: 1.) Introductions (no more than 
 one minute per person). 2.) Upcoming actions/events in March, 3.) Spring 
 Into Action! Campaign (groups that are interested in participating in this 
 should come ready with ideas!), 4.) Brainstorm for the future of this 
 network- What options are there for continuing and expanding these monthly 
 gatherings?\n\nPlease spread the word and bring as many people as you can! 
 In these dire economic times, we need a strong, unified social movement 
 that can counter the corruption, robbery, and death that the current system 
 is throwing at us. The government likes to bail out the rich; we need to 
 bail out each other. But we can only do it if we are together. We hope to 
 see all of you on Sunday and at all future gatherings!\n\nThis meeting 
 should last no more than 2 hours.\n\nIn Solidarity,\nCarl, 
 IMPACT!\n707-338-5318\n\nP.S. Other awesome things going on in Santa Rosa 
 on Sunday:\n1.) "Rediscovering Cooperatives"- part of Go Local's effort to 
 "Reclaim Local Economic Power." There will be discussion and information 
 about cooperatively-run enterprises, locally and abroad. There will also be 
 a local organic cheese and wine reception. It costs $20. It will be held at 
 the Glaser Center (547 Mendocino Ave.) in Santa Rosa from 3pm-6pm.\n\n2.) 
 Meeting of the October 22nd Coalition- Campaign to Ban Tasers. 5pm, Free 
 Mind Media (546 Pacific Ave., Santa Rosa). Please join us to discuss our 
 ongoing effort to ban Tasers. We have recently organized a successful 
 march, collected nearly 600 petitions, and had a meeting with the Sheriff 
 to discuss our concerns. But these are only the first steps. Join us on 
 Sunday if you want to volunteer on this urgent campaign.\n
