Thank you Anna!

welcome Anna!

Welcome Anna, thanks for being on with us today!

Congrats Anna! Best of luck to your new role!

Will the new House rules affect the way we at RESULTS operate?

Congrats Anna!!

congratulations Anna

What a great way to prep for our meetings. Happy New Year, everyone!

House rules as of 5PM Friday https://rules.house.gov/sites/republicans.rules118.house.gov/files/BILLS-118hresPIH-118th-rules-of-the-house-of-reps-V3.pdf

Well said Anna!

Sounds like Motivational Interviewing eh Sara?

Great feedback to dig in further and have constructive conversations.

How is extremism on the left bad for us? They usually want to go further than what we’re asking for

If you have other questions for Anna - drop them in the chat!

Are the child tax credit and renter's tax credit realistic goals for 2023, or should we focus on building groundwork for future years?

How does this group plan to use EO 13985?

What about global goals? We just missed on important TB and education legislation in 2022.

How do you find information about the background of staffers in order to relate to the staffer?

sometimes on LinkedIn, google them

Connie, you'll find on our Events Calendar a webinar on research to be held on January 25. That might help as well! You can register on our website.

LinkedIn is super helpful because you can see who an aide might have worked with before

+1 Sarah L.

YES, great reminder, Sarah L.

A fun fact I search for are their birthdays (very niche)

LIINKEDIN

Thank you for the tips!

don't be afraid to think outside the box and get creative! :)

I was just thinking that. What better excuse to check in with a relationship than their birthday?

Absolutely Megan! Helps us to humanize them, and also further engage your relationship with that aide/office.

Framing is everything.

We NEED to talk with Everyone, Republican or Democrat. It's able listening and talking with Everyone.

How can we in consultation with the members of the AU with this organization in a win win situation around EO 14089: Establishing the President's Advisory Council on African Diaspora Engagement in the United States

In the CT

You can find the Roadmap materials under “Make your Group Plans" on this page of the website: https://results.org/volunteers/working-with-your-group

Can we get this group roadmap?

https://results.org/wp-content/uploads/2023-Group-Roadmap-Guide.pdf

Thank you Randy for sharing the link to the roadmap guide

Onyinyechi - your local Group Leader will have access to your specific group's Roadmap link.

Here is that link: https://results.org/volunteers/working-with-your-group

Storytelling Project - tell us your stories!: https://forms.gle/wEXaruxYauu6yTyK6

You need a giant coalition around the issue with a lot of black folk and people of color

thanks for the well wishes everyone! y'all are wonderful!

Thanks everyone

I have to live now to attend another meeting

Thanks for joining Thalia!

no problem

Hershel, thank you for highlighting the need to center voices of those affected by our issues. Critically important!

+1 Hershel, we have a growing diverse network as poverty in this country disproportionately affects many marginalized communities, including people of color

Thanks for elevating that

Hey Folks, please mark your calendars for the next Grassroots Board Town Hall on Thursday, February 9.

There are resources on our website, https://results.org/set-the-agenda

Hi @Lindsay ! What time?

Understand that we have a #BlackFolksPlan that is being updated based on the outcomes from the US Africa Leaders Summit based on this Executive Order https://friendsoftheafricanunion.com/president-of-the-united-states-of-america-executive-order-on-establishing-the-presidents-advisory-council-on-african-diaspora-engagement-in-the-united-states/ The question is how does this work with Results. Hope we can create a win win situation this year.

more about the ABC Coalition’s Parent and Caregiver Advisory Board (or PAB for short): https://www.abccoalition.org/parent-advisory-board/

Is the "Set the Agenda" Orientation the same as become as "RESUILTS advocate" orientation? It says it is for new RESULTS members but who should attend?

Y’all are killin this webinar today RESULTS staff/organizers. Great job and great way to start 2023

Are you all paying attention to U.S. Federal Reserve Bank inflation fighting actions as driven by people like Dr. Larry Summers to reach 2%. So far we have prevented them for selling off the $2.5T of GSE housing debt but their policy is all about ending consumer spending and Biden job creation.

@RESULTS team, bravo on the design of the slides and your presentation today. The visuals are really on point in being engaging and conveying all the information. Just really good.

We have a great team!!

Great job Rita and Abigail! Y’all are THE BOSSES!! So proud of Kentucky!

Dr. Dmavid Ehrenkrantz made a presentation in line with this during a side vent around the 1st meeting of the United Nations Permanent Forum of People of African Descent https://friendsoftheafricanunion.com/friends_pfpad_00001/

This is why it takes the entire RESULTS community to get these bills over the finish line!!

Great.....

Set the Agenda: https://results.org/set-the-agenda

TB cases and deaths also increased in theUSA

Thanks for the info and links, Hershel Daniels Junior!

Can register for the upcoming Policy Forums here: https://results.org/volunteers/policy-forums. (will address some of the questions above, like Bruce's re: House Rules, on these...)

For those of you who are new to RESULTS, our volunteers have worked on TB for decades because it not only infects and sickens and kills the poorest people in the world, but also because it is a leading CAUSE of POVERTY! Our work on TB is a work to end a CAUSE of Global poverty!!!

Please feel free to join the Global Allies Webinar this Thursday at 8:30PM or share with Returned Peace Corps Volunteers in your network, here's the link to register: https://bit.ly/GAP2023Webinars
