19:05:50	 From manaleltayar : I was originally a rebel, but becoming more of an advocate...
19:06:03	 From Bruce Pruitt-Hamm : I like that the 4 roles honors the place and usefulness of each of the roles at different stages and contexts of a campaign.
19:06:11	 From Dan Bailey : I like helping but want to do what will solve the problem.  
19:06:19	 From Judith B. : YES, the 4 roles enabled me to appreciate the various folks in the organizations I work with, and to remember that everything we do s important.
19:06:53	 From jal : I am a helper
19:07:09	 From Angela Swanger : Have begun as a rebel, but now learning how it was set up.  Hoping that will make me more useful to the organizers
19:07:11	 From MARY NEWMAN : I naturally fall into the helper or advocate role, but would like to branch out to rebel. . .
19:07:18	 From Stephanie - 350 Hamilton : I find that I fall into more than one.  Would you recommend choosing one over another?
19:07:45	 From Erica Burman : In Lakey’s article, he stated the importance of different roles within a group but states EQAT is main role functions as a rebel. Is it important for a group to hone in on one role as a group?
19:08:02	 From Judith B. : XR folks call each other ‘rebels.'
19:09:05	 From Bruce Pruitt-Hamm : What is key to all the roles is the "campaign strategist"; like the coach on a sports team made up of different players playing various roles.  "You gotta have a game plan".
19:11:05	 From Stephanie - 350 Hamilton : We tend to do both organizing and rebelling
19:11:20	 From Judith B. : 350MASS is still a bottom up organization and has spawn Climate Courage a civil disobedience wing.
19:13:24	 From erikamazza : where do educators fall?
19:14:21	 From Angela Swanger : Does educating others bring about more allies?
19:15:05	 From Seth T.J. (he/him) : erikamazza’s question is very interesting to me.  In my organizing, I often find myself doing things that quality as some kind of ‘teaching.’
19:16:52	 From erikamazza : ^agree
19:21:43	 From Bruce Pruitt-Hamm : I recall research on survivors on Nazi concentration camps that found that people who were deeply religious or deeply political had much higher rates of survival than those without that grounding/paradigm.  This may be part of the value of "spiritual grounding"- it may provide resilience to repression and trauma.
19:21:43	 From Dyresha Harris : Yes! Singing was in my list of things that have worked for me facing fear
19:22:07	 From Dyresha Harris : Recently learned and started teaching “Courage, My Friend”
19:22:13	 From Judith B. : DO What Must Be Done by Greg Greenway
19:28:26	 From Edwina Kadera : I would like the info on street speaking!
19:28:34	 From Bruce Pruitt-Hamm : The fear of public speaking is the most common phobia ahead of death, spiders, or heights. The National Institute of Mental Health reports that public speaking anxiety, or glossophobia, affects about 73% of the population.
19:29:01	 From margo : yes this street speaking seems very useful!
19:29:20	 From Beth R (she/her) actOR : are you familiar with Theatre of the Oppressed?
19:29:31	 From Beth R (she/her) actOR : It is built for this kind of training 
19:31:44	 From Eli Lamb : how do you deal with family members who worry?
19:32:37	 From Bruce Pruitt-Hamm : https://www.trainingforchange.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/How-to-Facilitate-Street-Speaking.pdf
19:32:58	 From Beth R (she/her) actOR : For theatre of the oppressed info http://www.mandalaforchange.com/
19:40:59	 From Seth T.J. (he/him) : I’m curious if these 1st 3 actions were planned by just EQAT or EQAT + P.O.W.ER. or other groups?  Hope I got the acronym right.
19:43:19	 From Eli Lamb : show up at p.u.c
19:43:22	 From Erica Burman : interrupt business as usual
19:43:26	 From Judith B. : A payment strike.
19:44:21	 From Beth R (she/her) actOR : role play as customers and have a loud enough conversation about the bank's unsavory tactics and how you are thinking about moving elsewhere
19:44:29	 From margo : I organize with POWER’s Ed Campaign :)
19:45:00	 From Seth T.J. (he/him) : Build solar farms & wind gardens in Peco “headquarters” and other offices.
19:46:50	 From Kendall (she/her) : ^^ that’s a great idea!
20:05:04	 From Kendall (she/her) : can you talk about how to prep your group for a decision making process in the moment/during an action on things like deciding to escalate?
20:06:34	 From Stephanie - 350 Hamilton : I'm not sure I understand how you were trespassing if the office was open to the public.  Could you explain that?
20:07:09	 From Stephanie - 350 Hamilton : Ahhh gotcha
20:10:57	 From Judith B. : have you seen the projections being used against Chase? Like a banner drop but bigger!
20:12:21	 From Julia Brandenberger : will you be going over how to fund your campaign? Do you have full-time staff? How do you pay for a banner and bail funds?
20:14:45	 From margo : how does EQAT approach paying the fines that result?
20:14:48	 From Bruce Pruitt-Hamm : Projection action resources available thru Backbone Campaign: https://www.backbonecampaign.org/projection 
20:16:06	 From Corina  : very cool
20:17:25	 From margo : do you choose strategically who gets arrested?
20:18:06	 From Bruce Pruitt-Hamm : Contingent pledge campaigns can help with transition from small group to mass actions; e.g. "I will X when # of people have also pledged to do X".  As numbers go up, greater safety is implied; thus potential recruits can choose their appropriate safety level to take a scary action- like CD or other actions. Organizers can get a sense of how many people are willing to act before placing the call for an action and wondering if enough people will show up.
20:18:21	 From David Langham : Are there specific criteria to determine when you have reached the goal of the PECO campaign?
20:23:27	 From Stephanie - 350 Hamilton : How do you approach members of the group who have been campaigning much longer than new members, and may not feel training is necessary?
20:24:07	 From Dyresha Harris : Could you post the question in chat or in break out message?
20:25:29	 From Corina  : I apologize to my group I am too divided right now. 
20:26:53	 From Eileen Flanagan : What next step might you take to implement things you are learning in the class? Hopefully something that feels like a stretch, but not too far.
20:27:48	 From Eileen Flanagan : A follow up question might be, what helps you deal with fear, if you have any about your next step?
20:38:15	 From Beth R (she/her) actOR : great resource for current actions: https://americansofconscience.com/
20:39:02	 From Xeo Sterling : The group I was in seems to be looking at connecting with other people as a next step / stretch. Some of us are looking for a larger network, some of us are thinking about the most helpful ways to engage / connect the people we already know
20:54:16	 From Suzanne Cohen : Good legal support
20:54:32	 From Judith B. : Find that personal discord with close allies is much more frightening than standing across from an officer instructed to stop me.
20:54:56	 From MARY NEWMAN : Finding a community of like-minded activists is one of the first steps I’ll take and I’ll need to research and network to accomplish that.
20:54:58	 From Stephanie - 350 Hamilton : If you're in a situation where arrest is a possibility, remind yourself of your legal rights, and what you should and do not have to share with the police. 
20:55:07	 From Brad Laird, he/him, South Bend, IN : the National Lawyers Guild can be a good resource.
20:55:21	 From Dyresha Harris : Conviction. It’s easier and easier the more confident I am that I’m right. So, for me, feeling well informed about the issue really helps.
20:57:36	 From Stephanie - 350 Hamilton : Thanks for doing that. It was very thoughtful.
20:57:38	 From Dyresha Harris : Direct action seems to invite attack. How do you counter when people push back not just defensively but actively going after individuals or org.
20:58:04	 From Lauri Langham : what keeps me going is the feeling of the sense of rightness in doing the right thing (activism)  regardless of successes, for all generations to come and all forms of life
21:00:55	 From Kendall (she/her) : thank you!
21:01:01	 From Bruce Pruitt-Hamm to Eileen Flanagan (Privately) : Very nicely done!  thank you!!
21:01:04	 From margo : Thanks so much, Eileen!
