Some of the other Truth-related groups are thinking about setting up a permanent venue for all our groups to use and function as a HQ for the whole movement in Sydney. So far, Zeitgeist and We Are Change are keen and I'm pretty sure TMA would be too.
The basic idea is to save all the groups money on venue hire by renting one commercial space that we can all use and contribute in proportion to usage to the rental. With the number of groups we can get involved and the amount of hours the venue could be used day and night, it will really bring down the costs of meetings for all the groups and help forge a stronger sense of community, provide groups with meeting space, storage space, tea facilities, noticeboards, maybe phones, etc. We are initially thinking of an upstairs of a shopfront in Redfern/Waterloo, ideally leased to a café below for food and drink availability! Very affordable rents here and heaps of shops available. Nice and close to trains and buses.
your feedback?
