During this meeting, we'll set the foundation for a strong, radical working group. We'll talk about this WGs mission and purpose, what mutual aid is, and how to do this right. We'll set a vision and make plans together. You don't have to make a commitment to the working group to attend, but keep in mind we will be making plans and laying the ground work for a team.
