Hey friends they want to change it to Tues 7th June. Sorry for the change.
Also, while Out in the Park haven't been very inclusive in the past, some of us are thinking of joining, to try to change this, including peeps from No Pride in Prisons.

Hey @leilaniavisesio and @lucywheeler is there something about the event we could change to make it better. I haven't followed Out in the Park but keen to learn more about it. Or at least about why we've got abstentions... always want to see people stoked about an event taking place. Is there something we could ask them to do if they want to hold the AGM at Tory St?

@murdoch
That has been O.I.T.Park's rhetoric the last few years (about being more diverse and community minded). I personally don't buy it or attend. I have had bad experiences as a potential organizer or working for the group. I djayed one year only to have my music cut off and played over by one of the board members and organizers. I got an apolgy from the person who hired me and that was it. I think it's awesome that some people want to join and maybe shake it up! But I'm happy to create my own events and with my community.

Thanks for the background @leilaniavisesio - I had some idea of that but its good to get it first hand, so thanks.

Hiya @leilaniavisesio I'm sad (but, sadly, not surprised) to hear that Out in the Park treated you this way in the past. That's really stink and not ok.
So would you prefer that the proposal wasn't accepted for them to have the AGM? I need to tell them what the result is, whether the space will be available to them or not. The reason some of us from No Pride in Prisons are proposing to join in with organising (on certain conditions which have been made clear to the existing people there) is that we do think we might be able to shake it up a bit (better than not trying.) Yep it might be an uphill battle, especially dealing with one or two of the people in that group, to do things differently. Also a lot of individuals have left that organising team and a few new ones have come in so it's diffferent configuration already.
I'm sorry if the words I used in the proposal weren't helpful. Today a post from Gender Minorities Aotearoa highlighted the need for affirmative action empowering minorities, rather than empty rhetoric about diversity. If u like I can provide the notes of main points at the consultation this week with Out in the Park which was attended by some rad friends, and which i think u would like.
