Reminder to outside penpals!
Greetings, everyone!
We are reaching out with a reminder from the Structure Working Group that the deadline to submit Purpose Statements from our inside AND outside penpals (via this form) is coming up soon on November 1!
There were many questions about the status and future of Abolition Apostles at last week's transition meeting, and that's why completing this task is SO important!
If you aren’t familiar, here’s context from our last communication:
Our Structures Working Group is leading us through a process of building organizational structures that support our work moving forward. The first step in that is determining a core purpose, so that we can build relevant structures that align. They want to hear from everyone on the inside and outside who’s in our community about their thoughts—here’s how:
Ask your penpals for their thoughts. Here are instructions (in part Spanish and English and in English) on what and how to ask. Please submit their responses by November 1, 2022 using this form.
Share your thoughts as an outside community member, whether or not you have a pen pal. Please share via the same form as above. Please submit by November 1, 2022.
Email us if you want to get involved: abolitionapostles@gmail.com!
We need to gather info from as many penpals as possible and synthesize that into our purpose as a collective. It will help us figure out what work we need/want to be doing and how to move forward.
REMEMBER: it takes a long time to get communication back from our inside friends. Sending them the purpose statement letter sooner than later will ensure we can stay on track to get this work done.
Thank you for your attention to this rapidly approaching deadline! Please reach out if you have questions.
In solidarity,
The Structures Working Group
