[Radical_childcare] the statement

[Emily James]

Hi All,

Agree, the statement is important, but yeah, maybe it needs something
specific about what provisions people should plan on and what might still be
needed for Camp -which is sounds like you know, but just need to formalize.

There was a brief announcement at the gathering, with a very flattering
description of the radical childcare group, but unless I missed it, I didn't
see any of you there?

There is still one more gathering before Camp, but if you go through the
process group, much progress can still be made. It might also be worth
checking in with the workshops group, to see if you can tailor something to
the kids space.

So, so excited that you are doing so well.

Emily
