Hearing there is another #NoWallNoBan protest scheduled for this weekend. Could be a good opportunity to hand flyers out especially if we can tell people about an upcoming cryptoparty.

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.
