ICYMI: Updates from the 2/1 Meeting
ICYMI
Arizona – Arizona recently passed new state bylaws. We are also actively seeking volunteers to assist with collecting signatures to get Blase Henry onto the ballot. If you are in the Tucson area and are interested in helping out, please reach out!
Candidate News – Hunter Rand has officially made the ballot for his race for Sparks City Council. Hunter, who recently received the endorsement of the U.S. Transhumanist Party, joins Tim Grady as having received endorsements from both members of the All Hands for a Free Future coalition. Love live the Handies!
International – While the rule has previously been implied but not codified, the board officially moved to have any international relations coordinated directly through the Pirate National Committee and not via state parties. The PNC also voted to confirm that we are no longer members of Pirate Party International, voting to leave via unanimous vote. As stated in the Part II of the Through the Spyglass article: We are not members of PPI. This vote was to tie up any loose ends and confirm our departure for the record.
Pirate National Committee – there is a vacancy at the Public Relations Director position following a resignation. The role is expected to be filled by the Feb. 22nd meeting. There will be no meeting next week due to the holiday (Super Bowl Sunday). The Feb. 15th has been moved to livestream, meaning the Feb. 15th and 22nd meetings will both be livestreamed to YouTube.
Volunteers – We are actively seeking volunteers from Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, North Carolina and West Virginia! We are actively seeking volunteers from every state, but we are especially seeking volunteers from those five states.
Special thanks to Ty Clifford, Vice Captain of the United States Pirate Party, for chairing yesterday’s meeting in the absence of the Captain.
