Points Discussed:


 * 1) Explaining to new members what our campaign is about


 * 1) Distributing Roles


 * 1) Things we've each done already

Things we've each done already:


 * Heena spoke to her mum about getting grime artists to support our campaign. She said Heena needs to speak to someone else at Bigga Fish.


 * Heena's friend agreed to promote our campaign on his radio show.


 * Audrey spoke to friend about editing our advert - we need cameras!


 * Audrey also looked at different campaigns on YouTube for domestic violence. She found one with Kiera Knightley.


 * Estelle asked people who have experienced domestic violence - she found that it was usually caused by alcohol, jealousy and insecurity.


 * Estelle also asked about t-shirt prining. It's £3 in Elephant and Castle.


 * Campaign name agreed: Speak Out: Be Heard!


 * Slogan agreed: You think you know them, but do you really?


 * Colours for t-shirts: Audrey- pink, Estelle- blue, Lois- green, Heena- orange, Fatima- purple and Diana- red.


 * Website called Spreadtheword.com

Actions Decided:


 * Audrey, Lois and Estelle to go and get t-shirts and get them printed.


 * Diana to create website and powerpoint.


 * Lois to create Facebook page.


 * Heena to create Twitter page.


 * Fatima to make a poster using Photoshop.


 * Lois to check if she has access to a video camera.


 * Heena to write a letter to different local councils to ask for permission to teach in schools and to promote on streets to get signatures on a petition.


 * Lois to get friend to design a logo.


 * If we can't make an advert from scratch then take a clip from kidulthood to put on website.


 * Heena to ask friend to take photos for our campaign.

Possible Ideas:


 * Poster could have a picture of a person with a zip over the mouth, with a padlock at the end. The face could be half girl and half boy.


 * Audrey could add her lab documentary on the website at some point.


 * Contact similar campaigns for them to teach us some strategies and ask to use their equipment as we have no funding.
