2 - This meeting we are going to dive into how the donut was used in Amsterdam so that we can think through how we might use it here in California. Please review the video HERE (a bit long, but you can speed it up) and check out THIS report. If you are still becoming familiar with basic Doughnut Economics concepts, please go HERE, watch the video and read through the page.

3 - There are LOTS of different ways we (this group) might apply Doughnut Economics in California: educating students, political lobbying, think tank policy generation to name a few. Please come with a few responses to the following prompt: What are ways this group might apply Doughnut Economics to push California toward having a regenerative economy? We'll do a chat dump and word-cloud with your responses similar to last meeting.

4 - Slack is going to be our ongoing workplace for progress as a team. We'll discuss what that work looks like in our meeting, but go ahead and join our Slack space if you want to poke around. HERE is an invite link. If you are new to Slack here is a 1 min video intro and stick around after the Thursday meeting if you have additional questions about Slack.

5 - So many of you have emailed with offers to pitch in and help - it's been amazing. I think we are finally getting organized enough to take you up on it. After the meeting we'll need people for the jobs below - take a look! More info on these roles during our meeting. If you don't see anything there you want to do there will certainly be more to do or you can certainly create your own projects to run with.
