I believe the Direct Action Strategy being referred to is the training - info below - that is scheduled for Sunday from 12-5. I saw the 5pm spokescouncil formation meeting is at the same places as the Sunday training. Also the Sunday training builds on a non-violent direct action skills training that is happening on Saturday. All the info is below. These are trainings in skills, strategy and planning - not meetings. But the Spokescouncil on Sunday is a meeting. <br>

Subject: Re: [Street] [Ob-media] Action Summit Brainstorms<br>
<br>
Hi Ravi and everybody,<br>
There are 3 things on Sunday all at the same time, and looking incredibly similar: the Roadmap planning meeting, the Action Summit, and Direct Action and Strategy Planning. Can we combine??? Especially the direct action planning and the action summit - should be done by the same folks!<br>
<br>
See you at the Community Forum on Indoor Spaces (6pm at St. Paul's) tonight!<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
<br>
As people know, there will be an actions summit on Sunday at 1:30pm at E5. Before the event (and especially for anyone who is not coming), we figured it would be helpful to start some of the basic brainstorms via a shared doc. I've included these below - please add your thoughts!<br>
<br>
<br>
Action goals - This is a space to brainstorm what the goals of actions are. These are high level objectives that, if attained, mean the action was successful in some definable way.<br>
<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CB9JAs69Sy22U13zMbgJDLzGzIB7-us-byBWb5K7bwk/edit?hl=en_US" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CB9JAs69Sy22U13zMbgJDLzGzIB7-us-byBWb5K7bwk/edit?hl=en_US</a><br>
<br>
<br>
Possible actions - These are creative ideas of actions that we could do.<br>

<div><br>
<br>
Acton checklist - This is a working list of what needs to be done before, during, or after an action. <br>
