To everyone attending via Zoom or in person: please make sure to make it known where your sympathies lie, via the Chat if it is enabled, a Sign or visual aid if video is enabled, or in your Zoom Screen Name at the very least 😀!

I don't know whether there will be media coverage, but we all know how they like to twist things, we all know how hard the media disbelieve that there is lefty support for women on this issue, and how they will seize any excuse to spin things in a pro-trans direction, for example seeing that there are a lot of people but it not being obvious on whose side they are on.

I saved a video of a long string of comments in the chat. 90% were supportive of women’s sex-based rights.

So the zoom was hacked and taken over by activists showing porn videos. Is there a way to restart this meeting with that TRA removed? I have no way of contacting the organizers but would really like to hear what Jonah Wheeler has to say.

To be fair, that was probably not someone from any "side."

Is anyone on this zoom? I tried to get into the link and no-go. Disappointed.

Hacked a second time when we returned, and we had no contact with the venue that time.

Was on. Meeting was hacked.

Hacking implies exceeding allowed access.

What's happened is that the Zoom hosts failed to use their tools to limit who could speak, unmute, or screen share, and that (*gestures vaguely*) is basically what happens when you don't use moderation tools in a public Zoom session.

Had to leave the zoom. Too many people had not muted themselves, so ambient noise and conversations made the sound completely garbled.

But you missed the porn/spam/scat/gore raid!

Seriously, the LWV folks need to learn the ropes of Zoom moderation before trying again.
