Hey Kara, thank you so much for nominating me for hero of the week. I am completely stunned and surprised. I never figured that what I’ve done on a small scale would be a. big thing , but evidently , it is. That is what is so amazing about life. Even when you think a contribution is small, it really does matter and you have no idea how actions can affect people. I am so grateful and privileged to be part of the TYT Community. Thank you for showing me a light in the darkness. Cheers, Jack

I’m glad you are felling better. We had 2 guests this week. One was a friend of David’s, a man by the name of Paul Sonn. Paul gave us some great info on the Ohio ballot initiative to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour. It is $10.25 right now, $5.25 for tipped employees. Apparently, they have gathered the required number of signatures, but should get more before the 7/3/24 deadline. He will connect us with the group leading the effort so we can discover ways that we can assist them.
The other guest was named Lena. I just looked at my notes and realized I forgot to write down her last name. She lives in the Atlanta area and spoke about several issues, especially a “divisive subjects” ban in local schools. The language of the law is so broad that teachers don’t know how to avoid running afoul of it, and possibly getting fired. Cenk asked her if she would come back a second time and share more with us.
Micheil is still pulling off miracles. The Trump Czar website has been completed on his end. TYT staff are now putting on the final touches. But Micheil isn’t resting on his laurels. I don’t understand most of the technology, but Micheil has it ready to be delivered on more than a dozen platforms once TYT is ready to push it out. Also, Cenk asked us to think about next steps regarding new initiatives. I’m sure I missed a ton of stuff, but that’s the gist of what occurred in the town hall.

Oh, wow–thank you so much! I really appreciate it! Now that I’m home I can maybe actually do something. 
I hope you are doing well, and I look forward to seeing you next week.

Thank you.
Hi there, I’m Andrew Daniele aka Cenk’s Raging Emotions and I just attend my first Town Hall last week and it was awesome and I will be back as this is so cool.
I’m posting this though hoping it will get to Cenk. I am an eCommerce, email/sms marketing, and website sales specialist currently working in the industry for almost 15 years and my wife has been in this industry since 1998 (you do the math on that one).
I would love 60 minutes of Cenk’s time to provide some insight, criticisms, and (most importantly) solutions that will improve improve you websites, shoptyt store, so that you all can bring in more money and these are easy fixes that should have a rapid return.
I am offering this advice free of charge in every way other than simply your time. I am not looking for a job as I currently make low,(very low) six figures doing this very thing for a pretty big company that you have heard of and will share on a more private platform. I’m not embarrassed of the company I work for as they are, actually a pretty good, liberal (possibly progressive even) company as much as a Capitalist Corporation can be.
I just want to help keep TYT afloat. My suggestions and guidance has little to no cost other than a little manpower, really the most things are rearranging things on your website, in your store, and social media eCommerce that would make you more efficient, cut your costs by cutting out middle companies like Meta from taking cuts of your profits, and increasing your sales and memberships.
If you’re interested please let me know, you all have my email address from my profile on the TYT app. Shoot me an email so set up a meeting.
Thanks!

Any Discord member can start an “Event”. Just click on Events and then choose “Create Event”. From there it will walk you through everything. When I did it last week I chose “Somewhere else” for “Where is your Event?” and then put in the Zoom Link

For some reason, I cannot create an event.
Hi all, I hope the townhall went well on Wednesday. Sorry I missed — I’m out of town and couldn’t connect at that time, first time I missed an entire town hall. 
I’ll look out for any posts or emails about any action items before the next meeting.

We missed you last Wednesday! Just so you know, there won’t be a meeting this Wednesday, June 19, in honor of Juneteenth. The next meeting will be on the following Wednesday, June 26.
Lena talked about her project Teacher Strength, which she, Maggie, and Micheil (@goon_squad_captain) have already done amazing work on. There’s a Zoom meeting for this project next Sunday, June 23. I’m sure any of them would be happy to share more information and a link if you’re interested. (I can send you stuff too.) I’m going to try and help out with the project in any way I can. Hopefully, I’ll see you then!

No OH Town Hall this week in honor of Juneteenth.

Thank you so much, that’s kind of you to say and also kind to give a round-up of what was discussed!
i’m glad to hear Teacher Strength is moving forward. I’ll have to think about whether or not to join in on this project. As a public employee in a red state with family who work in public education, I have to be careful with anything that might end up having my irl identity attached to it.
Thanks for the heads-up about Wednesday’s meeting being canceled too — I think it’s the first time TYT is taking Juneteenth off in honor of this, which is great and more places should do this!

I am going to ask a favor for the Townhalls:
I know like me there are a lot of people who would like to attend them but can’t for one reason or another. If we could get a re-cap of the meetings each week that would be great and also allow for a more discussion of the things talked about during them here in the forums and even over in the Discord( I can repost the re-cap over there).

Jack, you’re such a great contributor to the town halls. I feel like your our voice of moral clarity. It’s always great to see you there. I’m not quite sure why, but I view you as a little symbolic of our town halls. Great to have wonderful, open hearted people like you on our side!

Cenk , right back at you brother! I love seeing you tirelessly get your message out with such moral clarity. I hope that we can connect to the youth movement in such a way that will make a difference, because they are the ones fighting for a future. BTW, I loved the interview with RFK. You never see anything close to the heights of that interview on mainstream media. See you soon, Jack
