It looks like we will not have enough participants for a useful discussion so I am canceling this meetup. There is a "public" huddle at 11:15 am at 705 Monterey Blvd (a cafe), which I have signed up for - I'm sure anybody would be welcome to attend even if you haven't signed up beforehand. Hope to see you there! The Women's March website has posted the second suggested action (description here), which is to get together with friends and neighbors and decide what issues are most important in your community, and what actions to take about them.

Looks like there are a few of us in the North Bay who might want to get together for commiseration and action (along the lines of 10 Actions/100 Days, but I'm open to other suggestions!). Thoughts on places, days, and times? Edit: Let's try for 1:30pm at Aqus on Sunday, Feb 12. [more inside]

This will be the first community activism meeting of ALERT L.A. Affinity Group(Facebook group link). Structure isn't created overnight, so we're getting together now, so that when action is needed, we already have people and plans. [more inside]

In the aftermath of the election, I've been looking for ways to be more active and effective in our local political scene and come up confused/disappointed. Local party organization seems closed/inactive, but I also am a TOTAL NEWBIE. This meetup will be to discuss our coping strategies and action strategies for the next four years. Brooklyn Inn, 148 Hoyt St. Subways: A/C/G to Hoyt, F to Bergen, 2/3/4/5 to Nevins (10 minute walk), many trains to Atlantic-Pacific (10 minute walk)

The New York Pirate Party is organizing a protest where we all gather outside Lincoln Center, dress as pirates, and sing copyrighted songs while holding up signs reading "THIS IS ILLEGAL". This Saturday, we rehearse the event. [more inside]
