Dear Lisa,

Thank you thank you thank you for all you bring to CoorCom. Your wisdom, historical memory as our longest standing member, and organizational skills are so appreciated. I looked to you so many times when I was unsure about things and deeply appreciate the steady, present, and committed energy you bring to our meetings and work. I will miss sharing this space with you but am so excited for you to get your Wednesday nights back. Hope to see you in many other SURJ spaces! <3 Michelle

Dear Amanda,

Thank you SO much for your amazing energy, care, and thoughtfulness that you bring to CoorCom. I feel so grateful to have had the chance to get to know you in this space. You are an INCREDIBLE facilitator and I have deeply appreciated your perspective, care, and presence in our meetings. I will miss seeing you here but hope to run into each other in other SURJ spaces or maybe in the trees! <3 Michelle

Dear Rachael,

I LOVED getting to share our whole CoorCom experience. Your perspective, candidness, joy, and thoughtfulness have been so meaningful to me during our time here together. I really appreciate how you engage with this work and often felt inspired by and so resonant with your perspective. I'm so glad we get to continue organizing together in other SURJ spaces while both also getting some evenings back! <3 Michelle

I learned so much from working with you. You're so sharp and dedicated and thorough and super kind. I love organizing with and alongside you—and sorting through files 🗂 all night, of course. Will definitely miss seeing your face on Wed eves.

Lisa, thank you so much for the incredible attention to detail and thoughtfulness you bring to our collective work! There are so many instances where you brought historical perspective, caught something we were missing, or just generally got us organized. It has been awesome to see you in action and benefit from your leadership, and I hope we can continue to cross paths in the days ahead <3 <3 <3 - Amanda

It has been such a treat learning from and working with you. I love the force you bring to this work and and your razor sharp intellect—and eye wear fashion. Will miss our exciting sessions in the google drive. 🤣 Enjoy your Wednesday nights!

Rachael, It has been a blast to get to work with you on CoorCom! Thank you for all of your leadership in this committee, and in our chapter... it has been inspiring to learn from your work and experiences on Repeal 3 Strikes, especially during the time of transition to the new coalition. I've appreciated the realness and humor you've brought to our committee, too, and I hope we can continue to cross paths! :) Amanda

Michelle,

I so enjoyed being on CoorCom with you & having breakout room conversations! I appreciated learning more about Policy's work and benefitted from the thoughtful questions you always brought to any topic being discussed. I especially admire how you organized us all to remake the orientation process at the last minute. And you were a welcome calm and steady presence during our meetings. I hope our paths will cross again in SURJ-maybe even in person! 😍

Amanda,

Thanks so much for thinking deeply and thoughtfully about CoorCom's work and voicing your views. You often shared insights that made me reconsider issues and broadened my perspective. I appreciate your taking over monitoring the SURJ Leads List and making sure key items reached all of us, in addition to maintaining CoorCom's relationship with Paul. Also, thanks for modeling great facilitation skills. So glad to have been on CoorCom together & hoping we'll have more opportunities to work together. 😍

Rachael,

Thanks for always being straightforward, engaged, and fun to work with! You've patiently helped me with many communications questions and demonstrated leadership both on CoorCom and in the R3S campaign. I appreciate your ability to think outside the box and your push to encourage all of us to take a break and prioritize self-care. Looking forward to our final organizing wrap-up with Jordan & hoping we'll continue to cross paths in SURJ. My one regret is that we never got to hear you play accordion. One day, I hope! 😍

Dear Lisa,
You have been such an incredible force in CoorCom! I appreciate your humor, energy, and dedication to clarity. Of course you are highly organized, and wow, that has really made us better as a group. I will miss your spirit and curiosity most of all at our meetings. Thank you so much for being such an inspired and thoughtful leader. I have an abundance of gratitude for all the work you have done, and am honored that I got to serve a term with you. Love, Sara Melish

Dear Amanda,
You are such a rock star! Your facilitation of online events--from Anti-Racist Ancestor Organizing, to the latest All-Com for Abolition and Economic Justice is so focused and on point. Your leadership in our committee is so caring, grounded, and thoughtful.  Thank you for being a guiding star in your own right.  We will miss you, but I am happy you will have more time to work on exciting things with Basebuilding.  Looking forward to working with you in other ways.
Love, Sara

Dear Rachael,
I really appreciate your super fun, and welcoming vibe.  I was really moved by your thoughtfulness and perspective around Repeal 3 Strikes.  It helped remind me that change is ok, and a necessary aspect of organizing with integrity. Thank you for centering the radical nature of rest.  I second Lisa, about the accordion!! No one has ever introduced themselves as a middle-aged white lady at a meeting and made it sound and look so cool.  I am older than you and its downright inspiring. You brought the funk, and the finesse.
Love, Sara M

Dear Michelle,
I am finding myself overwhelmed with warm emotions on this appreciation padlet, and so much of that has to do with the way you model appreciation and relationship building in our meetings! The care and effort you have taken in transitioning new members into CoorCom, and innovating the onboarding process blows me away.  You are receptive, present, brave, and CREATIVE.  Incredibly grateful for our time spent together--may it continue in the future!
Love, Sara M
