    11= Leadership Committee Mid Year Priorities Report 2016/2017 =
     2
     3== Introduction ==
    24
    35Every year First/People Link holds our annual membership meeting where our members define the priorities for the coming year and elect a leadership committee (LC) to guide the organization in implementing those priorities.
    … …  
    57This report documents the progress, mid-year, of the Leadership Committee in implementing the priorities identified in our November 2016 membership meeting (https://mayfirst.org/en/priorities/).
    68
    7 The Leadership Committee began by assessing the priorities, grouping similar ones together, and coming up with an overall plan for the year (https://support.mayfirst.org/wiki/projects/leadership-committee/2016-priorities-summary). In short, the LC decided that most of the priorities could be addressed via a single, unified campaign for the year. Called "Technology and Revolution," May First/People Link launched this campaign in the early Spring of 2017 via a web site (https://techandrev.org/) and through a number of convergences held in a variety of settings.

    917The campaign brings together activists from all parts of the movement to discuss the relationship between technology and revolution and charts a strategy for moving forward. The goals of the campaign are to contribute to a movement wide strategy, build tighter relationships between experienced movement organizers with limited understanding of technology and techie activists with limited movement experience, and practice developing inter-generational, mixed race and gender environments that builds respect and power.

    1119As of the end of June, the LC has organized six convergences, bringing together over 200 organizers and activists. And we have many more planned throughout this year.

     21=== Progress ===
    1222
    1323As part of this campaign, we have made tremendous progress with the following priorities:
    … …  
    1626 * Story-based approaches to education on technology use - all convergences start with a pop corn exercise that encourages visioning the future we want, and encouraging a broad narrative approach to developing strategy
    1727 * Improve participation of MF/PL members and deepen political development based on realities in each center - through the Technology and Revolution campaign, the gathering at Highlander, and our continued participation in the Media Action Grassroots Network, we have developed critical new relationships with members and seen new leadership arise within the LC.
