Greetings Everyone,

 

I wanted to express my greatest gratitude to the organizers of yesterays Statewide Conference.  It was an enormous task to put together such an event, especially considering the short notice.  I'd also like to thank the 150+ (according to sign in sheets) guests, organizers, revolutionaries, and compassionate souls that contributed their energy, ideas, and uncompromising committement to the struggle.  It was both a pleasure and a blessing to physically meet the men and women I have come to know from accross the state through our efforts in the movement.  It was most impressive to see the mass presence of the Bay Area and Northern Cali.  If elements from throughout the state were able to pull together so powerfully with such short notice, imagine the strength of the next Statewide Conference and Strike & Day of Action.  

 

Yesterday I saw the most mobilized and dedicate individuals; sowers of the fields carrying seeds for revolution.  Now we've returned to our grounds to manifest the fruits of social justice.  Though we didn't have enough time to complete the principles and demands portion of the conference for the movement, I'm encouraged to know that it was evident we all recognized, by an organic collective consciousness, to the discussed principles and demands necessary for true social justice.  What remains is symantics and deeper reflection on those which are viable and appropriate for the movement at this point in our growth.

 

To those who weren't able to attend.  Your energy was at the center of the conference.  There was expressed consideration for the perspectives of those who were unable to be present.  We all knew that there are thousands of you out there with ideals and concerns we wanted to include in the evolution of this movement.  This understanding was present throughout the conference and guided it appropriately.  

 

The notes from the breakout sessions were saved by Mandy from Berkeley and Crystal from San Diego.  Let us reflect on yesterday and how to best implement the tasks placed before us.
