Summary

Last cryptoparty went well. Tried out ring.cx and ricochet.im. Ricochet was pretty easy to use.

Somerville BLM protest had good turnout -- better than the police union's demonstration.

Aaron James campaign. Went door-knocking last Saturday. Five of us. Handed out 200 or so flyers. Aaron will have another campaign event on Aug 30th.

Freedom Rally. There will be several tents advocating for legalization. They are looking for speakers.

Pirate Picnic. Email, blog post done. There's also a facebook event.
