ICYMI: Updates from the 3/1 Meeting
ICYMI
Arizona – the Arizona Pirate Party hosted their first in-person rally yesterday at the Marana Aquatic and Recreation Center. Blase and new AZPP Young Pirates Rep Jane both gave speeches. You can look back at last night’s rally here.
Committees – IT committee met last Wednesday and discussed a move from or a bridge connecting to Discord, with the end goal to ultimately move away from Discord entirely. Work projects for new designs, merchandise and other Pirate related visual elements have been sent down to both Outreach and Press Committee as action items.
Massachusetts – the Massachusetts Pirate Party has been at work electing a new Pirate Council. Ballots were sent out on February 13th and were due back on the 27th.
Nevada – As of today (3/2), Hunter Rand has formally filed for his candidacy. Just out the Facebook post announcing it here.
#ProjectNoCap – Per Captain’s request, the next meeting the Pirate National Committee holds (on 3/8) will feature a discussion on formally endorsing Mr. Beat’s #ProjectNoCap. While not formally adopting to our platform (at least, not currently being considered at present moment), #ProjectNoCap would fall under the “Opening Up the Government” aspect of our platform. Come 3/9, the Pirate Party should have an idea of how committed we will be towards the project moving forward.
Volunteers – As if our search for volunteers is ever over. We’re seeking Pirates from all 50 states and six territories, but especially those from Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and West Virginia. If you don’t see your state, don’t think we don’t want or need you, too. In fact, not seeing your state might be even more reason to get involved. After all, Michigan and Colorado are newer additions, meaning folks come aboard all the time. See what sticks, see if this is right for you (it is).
