• Folks zoomed in from Juneau, Fairbanks, Anchorage, Kenai, Dillingham, Gustavus, Petersburg. A mix of people who have been in this convo for a while and important fresh voices & perspectives.
• We looked at Stand up Gustavus and Petersburg Friends & Neighbors as examples of local groups that could network with larger groups
• We want more functional networking of existing political organizing efforts from around AK
• Some people zoomed in looking for a group “with motion” to plug into 
• We talked about the benefits and also risks of working with a larger party that already exists such as the Working Families Party. It is very difficult to get a group past inevitable disagreements into a workable organizational structure without a pre-existing pattern and support. But it is also very difficult to have to brand an effort to Alaskans that may carry baggage or be insensitive to Alaskan issues
• We had consensus that it would be good to form a “political group” which is the precursor to forming a political party in Alaska. 
• We talked about being inclusive of mutual aid, and about organizing at the precinct/neighborhood level. What can we learn from existing political parties? Why don’t they work for us?
• Next steps: Synthesize some of our previous take homes & visions into a short document that could be shared with others to gather feedback; continue to hold weekly “Cozy chats” to network our groups and share thinking. Big thank you to Supanika for helping folks gather and facilitating ; )
