Tuesday’s meeting
We had a huge turn out at the Tuesday meeting. It was a
fun, productive experience. Leo Morales spoke about our farm worker minimum wage
campaign. Then Brad talked about Music Fest 2000 (more below).
After that, we then broke into groups to discuss the
different issues we might want to add our support to this year. We came out of
our groups and contributed our ideas to the entire gathering.. The suggestions
made at this part of the meeting included protecting the Boise foothills,
confronting Boise Cascade about its environmental policies, dam breaching,
dealing with the Fine Host problem at Boise State and sweatshop labor. We ended
up taking a vote. Our issues for this year are (drum-roll) insurance coverage
for birth control, Boise Cascade and farm worker minimum wage.
