Proposed Action Plan
The following are some suggested steps:
Initial Launch Discussions Discussions can be in person and via zoom, etc.
Draft Statement of unity against US war and preparation for war including provision of weapons and troops to the Ukraine,
Mobilization at car caravan and rallies at US Senator and Represenatives offices opposing US war on Russia.
Issue Responses to events as they occur and escalate.
Create Network of organizations and individuals dedicated to joining this fight.
Staff with volunteers and ideally stipended staff to continue forward opposition to war.
Potential Organizational and Individual Resources
Approach and engage the organizations in area of Minneapolis and throughout Minnesota stressing the need for unity to act against the possible pending disaster of US war with Russia.

Funding
Critical to the success of this effort will be staffing a fully supported effort . While we can likely sustain an initial action without a significant budget – to continue forward we might want to consider some sort of fundraising efforts to sustain expenses for one or more staff to coordinate moving the effort forward.
