The ASBS voting was an exciting process, as it was a first and important
step to deepen and broaden participatory decision making in our
movement. I
thank the current board members who have been
bold and launched this
process. I also thank the election facilitators who have worked
restlessly
to make this happen. Thanks to candidates who
have contributed to a
productive, engaging exchange of ideas with community members.
The election of Nataliia and Shani is of course wonderful.
Congratulations!
From what I can tell, the Brazilian community
--which has gone through
such
a hard period in recent times-- is wholeheartedly
celebrating for you!
Cheers,
João
