The community leaders have a right to set the tone and focus for the group. The community can support, accept, ignore or fight their decisions. This community is not a democracy.

By linking BLM and EJI the Go leaders are speaking for both of those groups - which is wrong in my opinion - unless maybe they had prior approval. > On Jun 15, 2020, at 9:07 AM, Sam Whited <s...@samwhited.com> wrote: > > If the argument were what specific charity to put in the banner this > might be a discussion worth having, however I get the impression that > many of these people are arguing against including a banner at all. > >> On Mon, Jun 15, 2020, at 10:04, Robert Engels wrote: >> I think a more specific point to be made is that it is a few select >> people speaking for the community.
