Group Chat FROM: Andrew Jacobs WHEN: Sunday, 19th May
Hey there! This is Andrew - I just moved into town with my other half, Luis.
A few of us have been talking about this shit with the way folks of mixed heritage have been treated in the media of late, and want to do something about it.
We're thinking of having a gathering in the next week to talk shared opinions. I've got a couple of friends of mine coming over from NYC because they're in the process of unionising and mobilising over there, and shared strategy might be helpful.
I MUST emphasise this - any discussion is aimed solely to uplift those who need it. No speaking over the views of those directly affected by bigotry. If you're in the "I want to help, just don't know how" camp, it's OK to be here and just listen.
Anyway, give me the heads up if you're interested and we'll work out when might be best. It's not an exclusive invite, so if there are people you want to include in all of this, and you trust them, add them into this group chat.
...though, and I say this with love, don't put it out on public blast just yet, because some of the people coming have public vs private identity things going on that need to be kept quiet for now.
Laura and I are in. I'll check with my siblings and add them in later.
I'm in. Chuck will be too, I'm sure, but I'll let the lass answer for herself.
Can get the Kappas onside if needed.
