QUESTIONS FOR THE FUTURE OF THE COALITION FOR DEMOCRACY OF CENTRAL NEW YORK

a) Are we an umbrella group or are we a leadership organization (which I take to mean--do we take the lead on issues?

b) How is the leadership in our own group determined and is it being run by the leadership?  should our present arrangement change?

c) How do we select guest speakers?

d) Should we/do we make our positions known to the community?

e) What is our relationship to our politicians--do we work with them or confront them?

f) Are we truly non-partisan?

g) What tools shall we use to effect change--e.g. public education, lobbying, demonstrating, nonviolent action, etc?
