Emergency Ukraine meeting: schedule/agenda 11/15/22
- Welcome to all (in person and listening on Zoom) and introduction by our host: we encourage listening with open hearts and to engage in dialog rather than grandstanding, etc.
- Study Group role going forward
a. Few meetings apart from actions. Our role will be more supporting, informing, helping, catalyzing.
b. We aim to keep a frequently-updated information page.
c. We don’t have to agree with everybody about everything. We want to work with people who want peace.
- The situation we face in Ukraine (Study Group, Steve Starr by Zoom)
a. None of the broader social and environmental goals we seek can be achieved without a practical modus vivendi with Russia, China, and the other “enemies.” The entire fabric of our society and environment is at risk.
b. We are focused about a) war escalation by the U.S. and its allies and b) additional U.S. funding for the war. We can’t affect what the Russian and Ukrainian governments do except as U.S. action may affect them.
c. The action timeline is in part short. Two time periods are useful: < 1 month (lame duck Congress before Christmas, ground in Ukraine not frozen, and < 3 months (embraces first weeks of new Congress, initiation of possible winter offensives).
d. FAQ, &A -- and concerns
- Possible public speech and actions
a. Possible actions. These are actions which we each feel are or might be realistic for us.
b. Possible allies down the road (we aren’t waiting).
