Friends and comrades,

 

In this week's Dispatch, we are covering our local media campaign, a call for applications for our Regional Internal Organizing Committee, and a call for applications for the 2nd alternate for the Differently Abled Working Group of our National Human Rights Committee.

 

Solidarity,

 

Kyle Turner, Communications Officer

 

At the February GMM, the Local passed a motion to create a committee of up to four (4) members with media expertise, experience, or knowledge that will work with the Communications Officer to create a media campaign. The goal of this campaign is to engage the public through social media, video, radio, Internet, television, print, public display, handbills, interviews, or any other method the committee feels would be beneficial.

 

If you are interested in applying to be on this committee, please send an email containing your name, work location, and some details of your relevant experience/training to Communications730@gmail.com with the subject line Media Committee Application. The deadline to apply is Tuesday, February 11th, 2025 at  5 pm.
