Subject: updated calendar

Hi all, I've included the dates the group went over last night. [See
attached updated calendar] .

Please note there is a Nuclear Free Oly ordinance petition (in favor of
passing the ordinance) that Marco has drafted and is  refining based on
recent group feedback (see current bullet points for petition language
below).  It is hoped that TJ will take into consideration the points that
Marco has suggested to ask for and give us feedback about what is actually
being proposed/drafted by the council committee that is doing this
drafting/proposed ordinance work.  Ideally, we would like the petition to
harmonize closely with what is actually being worked on in committee
language wise.

Marco expressed interest in having folks go out in 2 people teams to canvass
and get signatures.  I think this could be effective as well and would be
willing to do some canvassing for this too.  We could plug into the calendar
dates to do this if we can get some others to join in as well.  I hope
others think this is a good idea too. If so, It may also be good to have a
quarter sheet handout to leave with folks that gives them some follow-up
action steps and a few talking points for LTE's while
doorbelling/canvassing:

  a.. Send email to Oly city Council in favor of ordinance (include url for
council emails).
  b.. Testify in favor of ordinance at the upcoming council mtgs (upcoming
dates/talking points).
  c.. write LTE's. (talking points)

Also, it would be really great to get a looksey at the draft of the
ordinance so we all know what is being proposed in order to be able to
articulate this while doorbelling/canvassing.

If you have corrections or changes to this calendar  please feel free to let
me know and I will make the changes.  In addition, if you have suggestions
for strategy implementation regarding the tactics that is good to know as
well.

TJ if you can help us by looking at what the points are that Marco expressed
in his petition draft and giving feedback about how the committee is leaning
that would be great.

Here are the points that Marco bulleted for the spirit of language inclusion
in the ordinance based on the previous expressions of a recent OMJP meeting
discussion about this when TJ was present:

1) The city of Olympia will be prohibited from forming and commercial
relationship with any business involved in the manufacturing or
proliferation of nuclear weapons.

2) All trafficking of nuclear weapons or other nuclear substances including
depleted uranium (DU), through the city limits would be prohibited.

3) The city of Olympia would not use any substance in constructions of its
roads sidewalks, buildings, parks , or any other public spaces or venues
that would contain depleted uranium as byproduct.

4) The Olympia city Fire and Police Departments will inform at least 48
hours in advance if there is trafficking of any product that has the
possibility of containing DU in  it or have the residue of DU on it or if
any vehicle plans to enter city limits which may contain DUE in it or have
the residue of DU on it.

5) The city of Olympia will make it part of its duties to investigate and
implement peaceful alternatives to global conflict and work to foster
greater international security based on trust and solidarity.

Please share your feedback, especially TJ,  if you have any and thank you
for championing this issue in service to your community.
