Hi Ben. I'm about to head to bed, but I'

m finishing a write-up of some ideas I want to toss your way. I'll send it to you tomorrow - have a time to talk about it tomorrow evening?

I think i should yeah

Here are some thoughts I've had about continuing to improve our network.

Fitness
Our physical well-being goes hand-in-hand with our mental preparedness and commitment to our brothers. Meeting the fitness standards provided by the organization is demonstrative of respect for both yourself and your fellow activists. To ensure that all members of NW3 are physically fit for the tasks at hand, fitness tests should be conducted monthly. Additionally, network members' scores should be tracked to gauge improvement, maintenance / stagnation, and decline. Failure to adhere to fitness standards should result in referral to the Lifestyle Recovery Program.
Activism
We all lead personal lives independent of the organization; every man attending every outing and event is not realistic. That said, this is an activist organization, and there should be some standard for activity at the individual level. As a network, we need to develop some standard for acceptable activity not only to ensure constant promat presence in our area, but also to track our network's activity in general. Dips in activity can be met with conversation and solutions, bumps can be met with conversations about what might have led to increased activity, and individual contribution can be monitored to ensure each man is keeping his head in the game.
Planning
Group activities are one of our strongest assets. They build understanding, cohesion, and trust. Asking a guy or two to become something like "action planners" could be a huge boon for us(Note 1). Their job should be, in coherence with the ND, to digitally or physically scout locations for stickering, postering, and stenciling. They should include a short, paragraph-long write-up of the location, needed supplies, needed manpower, expected exposure (both to the activists during the action and for the organization after the fact), and rough time / date windows. After being greenlit by the ND, the planners will reach out to network members and solidify the action in accordance with member availability.
(Note1)This is an expectation of all activists, but formally asking someone to adopt this responsibility will most-likely increase our activity level.
Meetings
Meetings allow easy dissemination of information from top-to-bottom regarding both what is expected of the activist and what the activist can expect. It also allows members to touch-base with some frequency. Additionally, meetings compel the activist to adhere to fitness, activism, and planning standards if they are expected to report on a regular basis. A weekly basis seems as good a start point as any.

Hi Ben, wishing you well. How's your healing process?

Going about as well as it could be, you ready for next weekend?

Hey! What's the word? You better not be ghosting us

Been visited twice about activism at the capitol building. They want my phone, not giving it without a warrant. Delete TG messages - spread to the guys. Will return all items when safe.

By who? Have they taken anything from you?

You need to say: am I under arrest? Am I being charged with a crime? Do you have a warrant? May I have your name? I do not want to speak to you
