+Movement Mesa - NYC
+Present Abi, Alfredo, Hillary, Stefan  (Josue on phone)
+
+Problem: Website
+looks insider, DIY, text heavy.
+Design – make things prettier
+Functionality and Organization – make things clearer. Things are hard to find.
+Interaction – get people to use the website themselves
+
+Proposal:
+1. Upgrade Website
+
+We are currently running an older version of Drupal. We need to change this to allow bigger and better things including both internal and external outreach.  
+
+Problem: Increase member consciousness
+Members think we are a service provider not a political organization. Low turnout at MM. Welcoming members – currently get an email from Alfredo. How do we maintain relationships with organizations? We could do joint trainings with organizations. Online and phone conversations on topics of interest to our members.  
+
+Proposals:
+
+2. Member Dialogs – "People Links"
+
+Talks coordinated with current members
+ * reach out to members to find out what issues are of interst to them including topical issues and organizational struggles.
+ * develop program from membership input and reach out to MFPL as well as organizational members' constitutencies.
+
+3. Welcome Video
+Short introduction to what MFPL is and what does it mean to be a member. Should be sent out to all new (current) members and placed prominently on front page of website.
+
+4. Tech Connect
+Ongoing outreach to members about new capabilities, features, etc. 
+
+Problem - Lowdown and email list
+We do not know how many people are reading the lowdown also people are dropping out. Is the lowdown the best way to maintain regular communication with membership. What are the other ways we can communicate with membership (email, phone, mail, in person)?  
+
+Proposals:
+
+5. Intentional Media Work 
+LC will create plan for intentional media work to increase MFPL's exposure and ideas.
+
+6. Create Outreach Organizing Team 
+
+Team Projects
+        a. Mapping the Membership
+   Analyze the membership to identify core membership, and prioritize further outreach. Focus efforts on groups we can bring into the core group.
+
+        b. Organizational Recruitment
+        Reaching out to organizations that should be members.
+
+7. Support Social Forum
+Continue working with USSF though political participation, planning, and technical support.
+
+-------
+
+1. Somos una comunidad en la que nos une la oferta de servicios.  Queremos cambiar esta situación. Sabemos que es un proceso a largo plazo y se debe lograr desde abajo.
+
+2. Necesitamos fortalecer nuestra identididad en México.  Eso se puede lograr a partir de la valoración - sondeo entre las organizaciones e individuos miembro. Es decir, un instrumento que permita saber quiénes somos, a qué nos dedicamos. Con una herramienta para el sondeo, su sistematización y la difusión interna de sus resultados, nos conoceremos mejor y podremos generar mayor comunidad local.
+
+3. Es necesario elevar la participación de los miembros en México a partir de procesos que permitan mayores conocimientos sobre la utilización de  herramientas, a partir de generación de grupos de trabajo para intercambio de experiencias por prácticas específicas,así como a partir de fortalecer los procesos de comunicación local y transfronterizo.
+
+4. En resumen, observamos importante fortalecer tres puntos. La identidad, la expresión (participación) y la acción.  
+
+5. Observamos que es importante fortalecer la comunidad actual PL/MF al paralelo de buscar mayor membresía. 
+
+6. Para elevar la membresía es importante resaltar los siguientes elementos como oferta para los nuevos miembros: perfil amplio de servicios para la acción, seguridad, perspectiva politica, multiculturalidad, capacitación,  comunidad integrada, identidad, y espacios de participación.
