Interdependence Day on June 16^th at Bushnell Park, Hartford

Structure

Seven Sisters has decided to hold a series of small town halls with individual groups over a period of a few weeks:  May 1^st – May 20^th.  The purpose of these town halls is to help in establishing the content of the event by exchanging ideas on speakers, musicians, and even brainstorming with you on methods for organizing your community.

We will supply each group with an organizing questionnaire to be completed before the Town Hall in order to have a focused discussion about what your groups needs may be, and solidifying these things on the day of the official meeting.  We will then share the results of each town hall with the proceeding group and post the results of each town hall on our blog and Facebook.  Together, in this way, we will have planned Interdependence Day!

The First Step

Appoint yourself the organizer of your town hall or recruit a friend to do it; gather a committed group of people who want to demonstrate to the oligarchy our power; contact us (ct7sisters@gmail.com); and together, we’ll determine a date and time for your Town Hall and send you the organizing questionnaire.

In preparation for the Town Hall

Ask yourselves:

• How is our community MOST affected by current economic and social conditions?
• What is our community’s GREATEST need?

Then figure out how and what your community can contribute.

Also, we’ll ask you to bring to the table suggestions on the following:

1. Speakers
2. Musicians/Storytellers/Dancers/Choirs/Drill Teams, etc.
3. Information booths (so it’s important to know what political, social or neighborhood organizations you think should be there representing.).
4. Carpools/Buses (we’ll have two streets closed off for event parking, so let us know you’re coming!).
5. Creating a plan for inviting your neighborhood and communities.
6. Devising slogans, posters and fliers to advertise to your community.

Let’s bring all of Connecticut out for a day in the park, celebrating our growing resistance to the oligarchy!
