1. Issues for Discussion

   • How to End Silencing
   • Check Your Facts
   • Check Your Priorities
   • Develop rational arguments and make them available as flyers
   • Turn your validity claims into sound bits. That's all demonstrations are for. To let people hear your voices.
   • Expect realistic change, like awareness of issues, not instant gratification.
   • And don't forget to enjoy the demonstration. Life, and power, and understanding that power are all processes. Process can be lots of fun when we all work on it together.
