We hope you all will join us then for a fun time talking with other Pirates and identifying where the downtown Boston's surveillance cameras are.

	We are horrified and saddened by the attacks on nonviolent protesters in Charlottesville. The videos of white supremacist marchers attacking protesters who engaged in nonviolent civil disobedience or beat innocent protesters are horrible and show how bankrupt their ideas are. James Alex Fields Jr.'s car attack on peaceful protesters which resulted in the death of Heather Heyer and the injury of over 19 others is particularly appalling.

=== Move Surveillance Camera Picnic to 8/26 ===

There are two rallies scheduled opposite each other during the time of the picnic. Have received comments from supporters and attendees that we move the picnic to another day. In light of the attacks in Charlottesville and the heinous attack of peaceful protesters by a white supremacist, I suggest we move the picnic to Saturday, August 26th, 11am-3pm. Also suggest we hand out fliers about the picnic this Saturday.

=== Having a presence at the rallies ===

Sam and James recommend that we have productive visible presence at the rallies. Sam suggests that we setup one of these:

==== Eyecare Station ====

Needed: Water bottles, liquid antacid.

Pepper spray has been pretty ubiquitous at these events, we could help supplement medical staff by providing liquid antacid to people affected by pepper spray. There’s the chance we won’t be needed, but if we are needed, it implies the situation has Escalated Somewhat. Maybe we don’t want to be there when that happens.

==== Know Your Rights pamphleting ====

Needed: Informational pamphlets.

Might be cool if we found/created some broadsheets to hand out to the police about the rights of people to film the police and gather for protests. Or, if we had something to give to members of the alt-right about how to exit hate groups, that might be effective.

==== Tech Tent/ Livestreaming Station ====

Needed: Tent, portable internet connection, generator or batteries

I don’t think we’ve got the supplies on-hand, but for future events, a People’s Media Center might be a great way to network with local activists and news folk. On the other hand, that’s a decent amount of expensive equipment to keep track of if things start going south.
