SDCPJ DECISION-MAKING PROCESS:

As a coalition, the San Diego Coalition for Peace and Justice is comprised of people from a wide variety of social, political, ideological, and cultural backgrounds. In order to come to decisions that encompass the diversity of opinions in our group, we work with a modified consensus model. At times, the process can feel tedious. It is up to each of us to minimize tediousness by avoiding repetition of points already voiced and recognizing that consensus does not necessarily mean that we discuss everything until everyone present agrees on every detail. The facilitator may wrap up a topic about which there are differences simply by asking if the group can accept a dominant position, even though some people still disagree. The goal of consensus is to come to decisions with which everyone is comfortable. This allows us to maintain as broad a base as possible and to not alienate any of our members.

[SDCPJ] Request: Housing for Activists

Dear Peace Community,

The U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation (http://endtheoccupation.org/) is holding their national conference this September 19-21 in San Diego. 

While most attendees will be housed at the Town & Country Hotel where the conference will be held, there may well be a need to house out of town activists whose financial situation does not allow for the expense of a hotel room. 

Can you help host an activist for this weekend?  Please contact me, Lynn Gonzalez, at dissential@gmail.com if you can help.

Thanks!

Lynn
