Re: Next steps with the BLM statement

Léonie,

I suggest that we focus on actions, including outreach and inreach, 
before attempting a statement again.

It would be helpful to have time to gather and continue to discuss.

When is our next meeting? There isn't one today, is there?

Thanks,

- Judy
