- Critiques of nonprofits and public-private partnerships
D. Lodi Pride
Motion to approve the following plan for Lodi Pride (info here):
Note: On the vendor application (linked here), it says that payment for application should have been paid prior to May 1st.
[IMPORTANT] Motion Change
Motion to NOT table at Lodi Pride and instead to pass out flyers as a group.
Seconded: Tanner
Discussion
After @ckposadas brought up the $75 application fee, all the members turned against the plan due to WCU’s relatively low funds.
E. July 4th parade
Open discussion about participation in this year’s Stockton July 4th parade as a vendor (info here). Feel free to open the floor to other events you think WCU should participate in July.
Appended motion to join the July 4th parade. Here were the proposed ideas:
- Thomas Paine booth (left leaning perspective on American traditions/founding)
- Tenant Union booth (“now it’s your turn to fight for your independence”)
