Arizona – The Arizona t-shirt contest concluded with the winner being the design seen below. The AZPP formed an IT Committee. Arizona also participated in the “A Future Without War” event, tabling and handing out literature.
Committees – Platform committee presented a comprehensive plank for “Markets and Economy,” covering various items such as minimum wage, taxation and a stance on predictive markets. The plank was heavily discussed before ultimately it being voted on to send back to committee on a 4-1-2 vote, with the “Nay” coming from Florida and abstentions from Ohio and Arizona.

Pirate National Conference – We are less than one week away from the 2026 PNC […] Hoist the Colours and Spill the Tea (20 Years a Pirate!). It’s not too late to sign up, you can do that here.
Pride – Two statements are expected later this week; one coming from yours truly, Jolly Mitch, and a second collective letter from our Trans Pirates. There is no timeline for release, only the knowledge the statements will come prior to the conference.
The meeting last night was a long one, but highlights (the whole thing) can be found here. There will be no meeting following the conclusion of the Pirate National Conference; our next meeting will be June 14th.
