Suggestions for HUFF 7-17-25 Http web addresses are for background reading or listening. Organize! If anyone has questions, please raise them. Out of exhaustion, frustration, or the call of Mother Nature, breaks may be called. The chair may be rotated if folks want. If the Agenda looks familiar and unduly repetitive, some of it is for the benefit of new folks or returning ones. Athena or another volunteer may make a record of announcements given early in the meeting so those late to the meeting can be advised. Many items are really signposts & reminders of where we’d be going if and when we find the person power, time, interest, and resources. Gathering information and evidence can help challenge the Dominant (False) Police and City Manager Narrative. Documenting and complainant numbers are repeated for convenience. Remember that folks—unhoused and unhoused—coming to the meeting may have bought into bad narratives. The focus on our meetings are ending discrimination against folks outside by research, exposure, and direct action—as far as we have resources.
