Summary

Last Saturday's #NoBanNoWall protest. Around 25k people turned out in Copley Square. Several pirates turned out. We brought a banner, talked to a bunch of people. For events like these, would be nice to do up custom flyers. Steve will draft something. There's another rally happening this weekend, in Somerville: https://www.facebook.com/events/156443441518875/.

Cambridge allows all residents (including non-us citizens) to vote in local elections. Would be nice to see that spread to other municipalities. Could be something to campaign about this year.

Could also campaign about asset forfeiture.

To summarize (possible campaign items for 2017)

  1. non-us citizens vote in local elections (and perhaps 16--17 year olds)
  2. no civil asset forfeitures
  3. stop the expansion of surveillance
  4. run for office

Local ordinances. Meeting with Somerville soon. Medford initiative starting up. Arlington warrant article hearing on Feb 6th.

Next cryptoparty is on Feb 22, 2016. Would be nice to write some how-to guides, and open source, so others could use them.

Possible cryptoparty @ Somerville public library on Feb 5th (to dovetail with rally on Feb 4th)? Jamie will try to reserve 1--3pm.

Reddit. Jamie will set up hosting order. Steve will set up access for Puer. Puer will work on setup.
