Woo!
Facilitator's Intro
Facilitator wants to stay nimble, be open to new ways of talking about these things.
Motivation: Hears, what would we do w/o police? Wouldn't thugs rule? But they already do, with their badges. What to do w/o cops, realistically? And how do we provide the good stuff w/o the bad? (avoid the phrase "community policing")
Facilitator's Bottomline
These are the shared premises of the class. See Premises here.
Our Vision for a World of Community Safety
Brainstorm about a world w/o police, where people provide for each others' safety. See Vision here.
The Values We Share
Brainstorm about our values, (some shared and some unique) to find our shared views. We start from here rather than assuming anything. See Values here.
The Challenges We Face (What are the big pieces of this?)
A brainstorm about the large challenges we face. The numbers is parenthesis represent the results of a straw poll: "Which of these things do you consider a priority to work on, something you are willing to put energy into, and potentially has attainable results?" See Challenges here.
Small Group Work
We gathered into small groups based on the challenges we saw were important and achievable. We were tasked to look at the following aspects of the big piece that we grabbed:
- Goals
- Roadblocks
- Strategy
- Deadlines & next steps
