[CRNMC] Frack Free Humbolt/ CRNMC structure

[Ali Boecker]

 Hi Folks,
This request for help from Frack Free Humboldt seems like a good opportunity to consider how CRNMC functions. Are we an information network? Campaign assistance? Can we offer speakers for things like a series of KMUD interviews? Are we ready as a group to take on a county wide effort?  Or is now a time for education/networking (both in an outside of Mendo)?  If there are groups that are not "US"- how could we support them to push ahead, ESPECIALLY going with a Community Rights approach? How can we encourage our friends and neighbors, and dare I say, fellow activists, to take bull by its horns, that is... to be courageous enough to take a Community Rights approach, rather than the 'traditional' regulatory approach?
Many of us are pooped out from the race we ran last year... but there are so many issues out there... so many opportunities for people to claim their rights to decide. How can we support them?? (and... know that we are not required to do all the work!!)
Since our 'point person' committee no longer (as far as I know) serves as representatives of specific committees, (other than Robin keeping the finances together- BIG thanks!) --How then are we wanting to organize CRNMC?
Gris for the mill.
Also, this also seems like the time to honor the different appellations, and the groups specific to region.  For example, CROW is hosting the event on March 15 at the Little Lake Grange with Shannon Biggs and Penne Opal Plant on Community Rights & the Rights of Nature!   This event will be just after the CRNMC group gathering from 11:30am- 3pm, so, hang out, catch up with friends, brainstorm about how we want the Community Rights Network to function here in Mendocino! 
 PLEASE keep an eye out for a change of venue for the large gathering!  TBA!
On the Coast, we have started a migrating town hall, with rotating organizers, newly named, the Coastal Commons, and will very soon be visiting Fort Bragg!  We will let you know about date/time/venue. 
Just a few thoughts..
