For the monthly Linkup meetings

1) Invite African Americans and Latin Americans

2) Roundtable discussion rather than speakers on platform

3) Food and drink of substance (not just pretzels and pop)

4) Venue more comfortable than a union hall auditorium

5) No more powerpoint presentations, but videos are OK.

6) Take it easy, relax and enjoy spending time with people

7) Less agenda structure. Be more inclusive of new people

8) Less candidate support and more issue support

9) Less hierarchy and open steering committee meetings

10) Less direct connection with county and state Democratic Party 

11) Collaborate with non-party organizations and grassroots groups

12) Participate in Spring Statehouse Peace Rally (Iraq War Anniversary)

13) Establish Progressive Caucus for ODP (Carano brothers at PDA)

14) Initiate DFA election protection and voting rights activities.
