Platform Discussion
We brainstormed platform ideas. These ideas will serve as the basis for further discussion and expansion.

Quality Health care for all including dental and mental health care (expanded medicare for all)
Implement community based mental health and wellness programs for those who need it
We are already paying for everyone
Merge VA into Medicare for All
Cuts administrative costs and profits of the private system
Retrain administrative workers if needed
Negotiate drug and other medical prices
Impose consistent prices
Using compulsive licensing of patents for drugs
Ending evergreen patents
Having better funding for drug research that shifts reward system to target health problems not profits
Better research into the effectiveness of drugs
Education
Putting Students First
Innovation in funding that reduces per student disparities in funding. Raising the bottom
Encouraging critical thinking
Maximizing the tools available to teachers
Empowering teachers
Criminal Justice
Decriminalizing victimless crimes
Focus on restoration, rehabilitation & education not punishment
End Civil asset forfeiture
Fair principles and wages for prison labor
No disenfranchisement of prisoners. No taxation without representation
Adequately fund pubic defenders
Community policing & end arrest/citation quotas
No private prisons
Train police in conflict resolution, make them peace officers not police officers
Make police files public automatically
No privacy for police while on the job
End cops being above the law
Do not break the law to enforce the law
No eminent domain for private profit
Workers Rights
Pro-union, card check not vote
OSHA on every work site including government. Keep safe for all involved.
Public Transportation
Fund MBTA and other public bus systems so they can expand quality, reliability and service
Maintain roads so they are safe
End tolls & surveillance on the Pike, Tobin bridge and Boston tunnels
Government Funding and Taxation
Use systems thinking and true accounting
Housing & Homelessness
We have an affordability problem
More cost effective to provide housing for people who are homeless
Incentivize keeping housing owned by people in the community, not for use as a speculative investment
Transaction tax paid by non-occupants?
Improve renters rights: better recourse
Fund outreach to renters and owners about their rights and obligations
Drugs
End the drug war: Decriminalize ala Portugal. Focus on addiction as a public health issue.
Fund Needle exchange programs and programs to help people to deal with addiction
Treat addiction as a disease not a crime
Continue to support the legalization of cannabis and its use for those it helps
End drug testing for government programs
National Security
End TSA: No more security theater
End the wars
Data Privacy: Protecting the privacy of the individual, not the state.
Discard information once you are done processing it.
What of GDPR should be here? Not right to be forgotten.
Stop gathering of license plate/surveillance data or expire after X weeks. Do not share with private entities.
Retain public data locally.
Body/police surveillance camera data must be available by the accused at a minimum
Economy
People first; end corporate subsidies
Measure the people’s economy, not the stockmarket
Honest accounting that measures the true benefits and costs of the commonwealth
Use these metrics to make better judgements about government policy
Government policy should promote competition not monopoly
Right of Repair/You own what you purchased
Software/media you paid for and download cannot be revoked
Cannot deny someone legal process using software.
Lock you out of your house/reposes your car w/o legal decision
Should not be a felony to modify or examine the software/hardware you purchased
Companies should not be able to take back stuff you already paid for
Copyrighted works should eventually become part of the public commons (No Mickey Mouse Law)
FOIA
All data paid for by the public should be on-line and machine readable/searchable (with personal privacy exceptions)
That includes all branches of government
No scanned documents without OCR
Reduce the time for agencies to respond to requests to 10 days
Consolidate oversight and enforcement of FOIA into one separate agency
Under gov appointed by gov/elected by the people? (look at OCPF?)
Change from legal process to automatic fines for when out of compliance of the law
Use fines pay for bringing agencies into compliance technologically
This saves tax payers money, simplifies the process
Agency would have regulatory power and can set guidelines/rules (technologies/vendors that have worked)
Agency can review rules/tech of other agencies and call them out accountable for non-compliance
Immigration
Make Massachusetts be a sanctuary state
Abolish ICE
Establish a path to citizenship for all immigrants
No taxation without representation; limited voting rights
Should be a judicial process for deportation with true due process
Honor agreements regarding asylum seekers and treat them with dignity and due process
Streamline process to move from one student to worker visa status
Immunity (amnesty?) for immigrants reporting crime
Adopted Resolution on Sex Worker Rights
After making a presentation on the history of sex workers, Desmond Ravenstone proposed the following platform statement:

Consistent with our belief in an open society and individual autonomy, the Massachusetts Pirate Party supports the full decriminalization of consensual sex work, with commercial sex enterprises to be treated like other businesses, and sex workers assured of free expression and free association to organize for their rights, safety and dignity.

We oppose both sex trafficking and the conflation of sex work with trafficking and other forms of coercion, and agree that sex worker organizations need to be involved in efforts to address trafficking.

This proposal was adopted without objection.

What to focus on going forward? Discussion
networking with other organizing
masscann / aclu
massmesh
open disc with rival interests
healthy debate
who dont agree
who agree
focus on: discussion vs. an argument
communications -- a platform milestone
not just irc..

Transaction tax paid by non-occupants?
Improve renters rights: better recourse

Continue to support the legalization of cannabis and its use for those it helps
End drug testing for government programs
National Security
End TSA: No more security theater
End the wars
Data Privacy: Protecting the privacy of the individual, not the state.
Discard information once you are done processing it.
What of GDPR should be here? Not right to be forgotten.
Stop gathering of license plate/surveillance data or expire after X weeks. Do not share with private entities.
Retain public data locally.
Body/police surveillance camera data must be available by the accused at a minimum

Consolidate oversight and enforcement of FOIA into one separate agency

Adopted Resolution on Sex Worker Rights
After making a presentation on the history of sex workers, Desmond Ravenstone proposed the following platform statement:

Consistent with our belief in an open society and individual autonomy, the Massachusetts Pirate Party supports the full decriminalization of consensual sex work, with commercial sex enterprises to be treated like other businesses, and sex workers assured of free expression and free association to organize for their rights, safety and dignity.

We oppose both sex trafficking and the conflation of sex work with trafficking and other forms of coercion, and agree that sex worker organizations need to be involved in efforts to address trafficking.

This proposal was adopted without objection.

What to focus on going forward? Discussion
networking with other organizing
masscann / aclu

July 13th Meeting
* srevilak updated blog theme. jokeefe and srevilak corrected any items that were wrong as a result of the update;
* jokeefe updated [https://discuss.masspirates.org/riot/#/welcome our Riot/Matrix client] to the latest stable version. Started work on a splash page for discuss.masspirates.org.
* srevilak & jokeefe tested camera / microphone setup and figured out that the reason the recording was so soft in the video we took at the Pirate Planning Picnic was that the speakers were too far away from the microphones.

jokeefe noticed that [https://cctv.masspirates.org our CCTV camera map] no longer shows the locations of cameras. Fixed.

Next meeting will be August 10th. Topics are:

* find discussion/voting system;
* update CCTV cameras to include older cameras outside North America we didn't include;
* write an app to record the location/ownership of CCTV cameras;
* set up torrents for PirateCon videos (creynolds);
* post remaining audio for PirateCon talks (srevilak).

[https://malegislature.gov/Bills/191/HD388 HD388] would make the film tax credit permanent. It is supposed to expire in 2023. The bill has 100+ signatures this time around. There isn't a hearing date for it yet.

Action items:

* Tell our supporters how to oppose it
* Look out for a hearing date
* If possible, reach out to other groups to organize a lobby day

=== Update Platform ===

[9:06pm] jokeefe: great
[9:06pm] Pirate_Joe: We have a deposit of 450 cash the needs clarification
[9:06pm] jokeefe: was thinking we should have one finalized by End of February
[9:06pm] jokeefe: bit late I know
[9:06pm] Pirate_Joe: Well, we have collected a good start already from last year that went unused.
[9:07pm] jokeefe: when did we get $450 in cash that wasn’t itemized?
[9:07pm] Pirate_Joe: plus we mostly operate through in-kind donations so it's pretty barebones
[9:07pm] jokeefe: yeah, need to get away from that
[9:07pm] Pirate_Joe: It was in December
[9:08pm] Pirate_Joe: On the 31.
[9:08pm] jokeefe: Oh!
[9:08pm] jokeefe: That was Steve’s donation.
[9:08pm] jokeefe: not in cash. it was a check
[9:08pm] Pirate_Joe: I thought so but for some reason she had it filed as cash.
[9:09pm] Pirate_Joe: I promised to contact her on Thursday to clarify
[9:09pm] jokeefe: oh, ok. weird
[9:09pm] jokeefe: well know we know.
[9:09pm] Pirate_Joe: Currently we have 2003.90 available for use.
[9:09pm] jokeefe: thanks for bringing it up
[9:09pm] jokeefe: So we have money to spend on local events.
[9:10pm] jokeefe: good.
[9:10pm] Pirate_Joe: I'll put to gather a budget by the end of Feb with all expenses when my main pc is back up and running.
[9:10pm] jokeefe: shall we draft a budget by Valentines Day?
[9:10pm] jokeefe: that works
[9:10pm] Pirate_Joe: I will try to get it done asap
[9:10pm] jokeefe: Thanks!
[9:11pm] Pirate_Joe: <3
[9:11pm] Malt:
[9:11pm] Pirate_Joe: Tbh, I'm not as concerned because the balance is growing not shrinking.
[9:11pm] jokeefe: yes, a good position to be in
[9:12pm] jokeefe: Boston Sex Worker Petition - we are at 128 signatures. will talk it up in next email anc.
[9:12pm] jokeefe: posting on social media. will put up a new blog post too
[9:12pm] jokeefe: Regional Meetings
[9:13pm] Pirate_Joe: I recently secured a place in Lowell
[9:13pm] Malt: no progress on worcester, i have been swamped these weeks
[9:13pm] jokeefe: Boston-area one is coming along for Feb. JoeT is looking for a place. Will anc it in the next email. Aiming for Friday.
[9:14pm] jokeefe: Video Newsletter - Next one Sunday?
[9:14pm] Malt: this sunday i am busy hosting a party
[9:14pm] Pirate_Joe: https://lowelllibrary.org/services/meeting-rooms-study-rooms/
[9:15pm] Pirate_Joe: We can secure up to 2 meeting per year for free so long as it's open to the public
[9:15pm] jokeefe: which we are
[9:15pm] Malt: totally unrelated but i just found out i might be running a comedy article on the Something Awful frontpage
[9:15pm] jokeefe: good for you
[9:16pm] jokeefe: one off or a regular column?
[9:16pm] jokeefe: Pirate_Joe - are there openings in March?
[9:16pm] Pirate_Joe: I was going to try to convince a few local officals to speak at our event for how to run. Then spend the rest of the time making it a crypto-party.
[9:16pm] Pirate_Joe: Yes, the only draw back is that it will have to be on a Saturday.
[9:16pm] jokeefe: you could or we could teach them ourselves
[9:17pm] Pirate_Joe: Why not both?
[9:17pm] jokeefe: Saturdays are good.
[9:17pm] jokeefe: It is your event.
[9:17pm] Pirate_Joe: It would serve us well to get the support of our local council
[9:17pm] Pirate_Joe: There are 9 seats in total
[9:18pm] Pirate_Joe: Even if I take one, that leaves 8 other seats so having local support will be a very good idea
[9:18pm] jokeefe: Sure, but this is for Pirates to talk amongst ourselves

[9:06pm] Pirate_Joe: We have a deposit of 450 cash the needs clarification
[9:06pm] jokeefe: was thinking we should have one finalized by End of February
[9:06pm] jokeefe: bit late I know
[9:06pm] Pirate_Joe: Well, we have collected a good start already from last year that went unused.
[9:07pm] jokeefe: when did we get $450 in cash that wasn’t itemized?
[9:07pm] Pirate_Joe: plus we mostly operate through in-kind donations so it's pretty barebones
[9:07pm] jokeefe: yeah, need to get away from that
[9:07pm] Pirate_Joe: It was in December
[9:08pm] Pirate_Joe: On the 31.
[9:08pm] jokeefe: Oh!
[9:08pm] jokeefe: That was Steve’s donation.
[9:08pm] jokeefe: not in cash. it was a check
[9:08pm] Pirate_Joe: I thought so but for some reason she had it filed as cash.
[9:09pm] Pirate_Joe: I promised to contact her on Thursday to clarify
[9:09pm] jokeefe: oh, ok. weird
[9:09pm] jokeefe: well know we know.
[9:09pm] Pirate_Joe: Currently we have 2003.90 available for use.
[9:09pm] jokeefe: thanks for bringing it up
[9:09pm] jokeefe: So we have money to spend on local events.
[9:10pm] jokeefe: good.
[9:10pm] Pirate_Joe: I'll put to gather a budget by the end of Feb with all expenses when my main pc is back up and running.
[9:10pm] jokeefe: shall we draft a budget by Valentines Day?
[9:10pm] jokeefe: that works
[9:10pm] Pirate_Joe: I will try to get it done asap
[9:10pm] jokeefe: Thanks!
[9:11pm] Pirate_Joe: <3
[9:11pm] Malt:
[9:11pm] Pirate_Joe: Tbh, I'm not as concerned because the balance is growing not shrinking.
[9:11pm] jokeefe: yes, a good position to be in
[9:12pm] jokeefe: Boston Sex Worker Petition - we are at 128 signatures. will talk it up in next email anc.
[9:12pm] jokeefe: posting on social media. will put up a new blog post too
[9:12pm] jokeefe: Regional Meetings
[9:13pm] Pirate_Joe: I recently secured a place in Lowell
[9:13pm] Malt: no progress on worcester, i have been swamped these weeks
[9:13pm] jokeefe: Boston-area one is coming along for Feb. JoeT is looking for a place. Will anc it in the next email. Aiming for Friday.
[9:14pm] jokeefe: Video Newsletter - Next one Sunday?
[9:14pm] Malt: this sunday i am busy hosting a party
[9:14pm] Pirate_Joe: https://lowelllibrary.org/services/meeting-rooms-study-rooms/
[9:15pm] Pirate_Joe: We can secure up to 2 meeting per year for free so long as it's open to the public
[9:15pm] jokeefe: which we are
[9:15pm] Malt: totally unrelated but i just found out i might be running a comedy article on the Something Awful frontpage
[9:15pm] jokeefe: good for you
[9:16pm] jokeefe: one off or a regular column?
[9:16pm] jokeefe: Pirate_Joe - are there openings in March?
[9:16pm] Pirate_Joe: I was going to try to convince a few local officals to speak at our event for how to run. Then spend the rest of the time making it a crypto-party.
[9:16pm] Pirate_Joe: Yes, the only draw back is that it will have to be on a Saturday.
[9:16pm] jokeefe: you could or we could teach them ourselves
[9:17pm] Pirate_Joe: Why not both?
[9:17pm] jokeefe: Saturdays are good.
[9:17pm] jokeefe: It is your event.
[9:17pm] Pirate_Joe: It would serve us well to get the support of our local council
[9:17pm] Pirate_Joe: There are 9 seats in total
[9:18pm] Pirate_Joe: Even if I take one, that leaves 8 other seats so having local support will be a very good idea
[9:18pm] jokeefe: Sure, but this is for Pirates to talk amongst ourselves
[9:18pm] Pirate_Joe: Of course we will do that anyways.
[9:19pm] jokeefe:
[9:19pm] jokeefe: Malt, what about Worcester in April?
