			[9:10pm] jokeefe: Agenda: https://masspirates.org/wiki/October_31st,_2018_IRC_Meeting
			[9:10pm] jokeefe: ids
			[9:10pm] Pirate_Joe: Joseph Onoroski, Lowell
			[9:10pm] jokeefe: James O’Keefe, Somerville
			[9:11pm] jokeefe: Happy Halloween
			[9:11pm] DesmondRavenstone: Desmond Ravenstone, Boston (Roslindale)
			[9:11pm] Pirate_Joe: Hh 2u 2
			[9:11pm] jokeefe:
			[9:11pm] jokeefe: Anything to add?
			[9:13pm] DesmondRavenstone: I'll do a post on the MPP activist list … BTW, I've noticed there are very few participants, both there and on this IRC. How do we get more folks involved in decision-making and activism?
			[9:13pm] Pirate_Joe: I am traveling so I may be cut off
			[9:14pm] DesmondRavenstone: James, you mentioned change.org … is that regarding the banking bill now being considered in the Senate?
			[9:14pm] jokeefe: Better reminders. Calling people. Personal email invitations.
			[9:14pm] jokeefe: yes
			[9:15pm] DesmondRavenstone: IMHO if we have active projects, and individual point people ("watch officers") for folks to go to, that could ignite more interest.
			[9:15pm] Pirate_Joe left the chat room. (Quit: https://webchat.pirateirc.net/)
			[9:15pm] Pirate_Joey joined the chat room.
			[9:15pm] DesmondRavenstone: Ahoy, Joey
			[9:15pm] jokeefe: agreed
			[9:16pm] Pirate_Joey: Its Joe
			[9:16pm] DesmondRavenstone: I thought so
			[9:16pm] jokeefe: Petition at https://www.change.org/p/elizabeth-warren-prevent-warrantless-searches-of-our-bank-accounts?recruiter=9144&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition
			[9:16pm] jokeefe: Sorry. doing things out of sequence
			[9:17pm] DesmondRavenstone: We should post on Facebook, blog, activist list, and encourage folks to re-post all over
			[9:17pm] jokeefe: Anything to review or discuss besides the listed projects?
			[9:18pm] jokeefe: On to projects - 12/17 Intl Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers Protest
			[9:18pm] DesmondRavenstone: Anyone? Anyone? Buehler? Buehler?
			[9:18pm] jokeefe: DesmondRavenstone: Two developments on the Dec 17th vigil. First, a group of Harvard Law students, SWAN (Sex Worker Advocacy Network) have asked to co-sponsor; I've met some and given the okay. There is also informal feedback to have the vigil in front of Boston Police HQ, which is also within walking distance of two T stops.
			[9:19pm] jokeefe: from before meeting
			[9:19pm] DesmondRavenstone: If folks have ideas for additional co-sponsors/participants, please forward when you can
			[9:19pm] jokeefe: Have you received any emails Desmond?
			[9:20pm] Pirate_Joey: Sorry if I am less chatty
			[9:20pm] Pirate_Joey: 10 minutes to home
			[9:20pm] jokeefe: I’m sneezy myself
			[9:20pm] DesmondRavenstone: Most have been on Facebook event post. As I mentioned before meeting, Boston DSA has not responded.
			[9:21pm] DesmondRavenstone: I'll keep posting updates on activist list and blog. Again, if other leads, let me know.
			[9:21pm] DesmondRavenstone: From Facebook, 2 others say definitely going, about 1/2 dozen "
			[9:21pm] jokeefe: thanks. I can give you access to Boston Pirates and you can call/email them
			[9:21pm] DesmondRavenstone: Super!
			[9:22pm] Pirate_Joey: How much for flyers for the vigil?
			[9:22pm] jokeefe: will add you to masspirates.org/crew
			[9:22pm] Pirate_Joey: Paper the commons
			[9:22pm] jokeefe: how many and what size?
			[9:22pm] Pirate_Joey: Small and many
			[9:23pm] DesmondRavenstone: That takes people power and $$$ … do we have?
			[9:23pm] jokeefe: Under $50 would we my guess. We just need a design.
			[9:23pm] DesmondRavenstone: Is this for the event, or Party generally?
			[9:23pm] jokeefe: Yes, we have the money.
			[9:23pm] jokeefe: Volunteers need to be called.
			[9:24pm] Pirate_Joey: Des, email Jman and I'll get the funds for it
			[9:24pm] DesmondRavenstone: "Jman"?
			[9:25pm] jokeefe: guessing me
			[9:25pm] Pirate_Joey: Jamie*
			[9:25pm] Pirate_Joey: Just got home
			[9:25pm] Pirate_Joey: That was sporting!
			[9:26pm] jokeefe: so more signups. more volunteers, more outreach.
			[9:26pm] DesmondRavenstone: OK can work on some sort of design, then email the Captain for the rest.
			[9:26pm] jokeefe: I know someone who could do it, if you have the text.
			[9:26pm] DesmondRavenstone: For the Party generally … I was able to make a button and stickers via Zazzle.
			[9:27pm] jokeefe: thanks!
			[9:27pm] DesmondRavenstone: So why not set that up as merch for folks to obtain? Sticker the MPP logo everywhere.
			[9:27pm] Pirate_Joey: We could do a bake sale at the commons while we hand out flyers too
			[9:27pm] jokeefe: we have access to a button maker, but need a design
			[9:27pm] Pirate_Joey: The mapp?
			[9:27pm] DesmondRavenstone: Use the MPP logo that you use for T shirts on Zazzle -- that's what I did.
			[9:28pm] jokeefe: We have those. thinking of custom ones for the event
			[9:29pm] DesmondRavenstone: Size of buttons? (so I can plan/plagiarize designs)
			[9:29pm] Pirate_Joey: MAPP supports your sexy rights!
			[9:30pm] DesmondRavenstone: A pirate with a red umbrella?
			[9:30pm] jokeefe: inch/inch a half. just make it circular and I can scale
			[9:30pm] Pirate_Joey: That could work too
			[9:31pm] jokeefe: make several. it isn’t hard to make them.
			[9:31pm] jokeefe: several designs
			[9:32pm] DesmondRavenstone: When would we be looking to do the Common table/bake-sale/leafleting?
			[9:33pm] Pirate_Joey: Weekend two weeks from now?
			[9:33pm] jokeefe: don’t know. Common gets a lot of out of town people, so less effective than local squares
			[9:33pm] Pirate_Joey: Another location perhaps?
			[9:34pm] DesmondRavenstone: Govt Center / City Hall?
			[9:34pm] jokeefe: spreading them around would be best.
			[9:34pm] Pirate_Joey: Less activist and we will be back there with the protest. College students make good activists
			[9:35pm] DesmondRavenstone: Posting on lampposts etc … yes, with contact info.
			[9:35pm] Pirate_Joey: We could start with a small bake sale and then walk and paper
			[9:35pm] Pirate_Joey: Like from Harvard square
			[9:36pm] jokeefe: postering is a good idea
			[9:36pm] DesmondRavenstone: We could pick strategic areas to post leaflets
			[9:37pm] Pirate_Joey: Higher cost for posters?
			[9:37pm] DesmondRavenstone: Harvard Square, also Central Square, Downtown Crossing, Park Street, Boston U and other schools'
			[9:38pm] jokeefe: 8 1/2 x 11 is fine for posters
			[9:38pm] jokeefe: Those sound like good locations,
			[9:38pm] DesmondRavenstone: agreed, letter size
			[9:38pm] Pirate_Joey: Then let's do a stack
			[9:39pm] jokeefe: 1/4 page flyers are good with 1 page posters for putting up on polls. I can get quotes.
			[9:39pm] Pirate_Joey: Please do. Do you have paypal?
			[9:40pm] jokeefe: why?
			[9:40pm] Pirate_Joey: So I could transfer the money?
			[9:40pm] jokeefe: a check to the printer should be fine.
			[9:41pm] jokeefe: fewer fees
			[9:41pm] Pirate_Joey: Question mark?
			[9:41pm] Pirate_Joey: Ink is money too
			[9:42pm] Pirate_Joey: I have spare paper if it helps
			[9:42pm] jokeefe: thanks
			[9:42pm] jokeefe: Shall we move on to H.R.6729?
			[9:42pm] DesmondRavenstone: Sounds good
			[9:42pm] Pirate_Joey: Please
			[9:43pm] jokeefe: petition is at https://www.change.org/p/elizabeth-warren-prevent-warrantless-searches-of-our-bank-accounts
			[9:43pm] jokeefe: we need a picture
