RUF Suggestions for HUFF 7-3-25
Http web addresses are for background reading or listening for those with computer access. Hard copy passarounds may cover some of the same subjects for those without. Many agenda items are really signposts & reminders of where we’d be going if and when we find the person power, time, interest, and resources. We are gathering information and evidence to challenge the Dominant (False) Police, City Manager Narrative, and the new “Normal”. Organize! If anyone has questions, please raise them. AGENDA SUBJECT TO CHANGE A more updated series of suggestions may be available at the 1:30 PM meeting later today.
