MEETING MINUTES FOR 7/1/22 (POST 1/2) SUMMARY OF PRESENTATION: Mission Statement (as said in this meeting, may be subject to reiteration): The AIF is a decentralized pro-democracy/anti-fascist organization operating in the United States. We are big-tent community for patriotic folks working to undermine the encroachment of all forms of authoritarianism. We wish to reclaim the meaning of the word 'patriotism' from ultranationalists, racists, alt-right, neo-nazis, and radical-religious. We fight to encourage the people of the United States of America to strive for liberty and justice for all. Immediate goals: -Establishing relationship between collaboration discord and chapters -Current leadership structure -How to address concerns/questions Immediate action items: -Make printable pamphlets for distribution at protests -Poster and sticker designs based on current issues -Completing the job board's structure and rules -Addressing meeting locations 4th of July activism: Your local area may have protests this 4th of July. If you don't have any plans, we encourage you to take part. You do not need to fliers, stickers, or even any Iron Front markings. We simply ask you to be active in your local community. OPEN FORUM DISCUSSION: Important points: -We need to create a list (possibly 10) objectives and items we stand for (examples: pro-lgbtq, pro-choice, removal of the electoral college, to what degree is communism acceptable/unacceptable, stand for Puerto Rico and colonies/protectorates to gain state rights, etc...). A manifesto should be created to identify the points we stand behind and the tenants of Iron Front. -Libraries could serve as rallying points and spaces for Iron Front, we treat libraries as the equivalent of a cultural epicenter of Iron Front. They deserve to be respected, defended, and maintained. -Defining the third arrow, what does anti-communism mean? -What steps and actions can we identify for a more democratic future?

(ex: school board meeting is low danger, protesting in front of a city hall is high danger) Operation Security/Organization standards: -No Doxxing on this discord. -Resources will be less for chatting and more for pulling information. Discussion can happen in the jobs channels or general. (edited)
