BMDC is being attacked by individuals who are using our internal conflicts to further their agenda of demolishing our group. Please see this for what it is. If you have any questions about Sunday's meeting being anything other than a hostile takeover I urge you to read the chat from the meeting and listen to the audio that has been posted. This attack raged on for over 5 hours! There was slandering, harassment, personal attacks on many members of BMDC, disregard for our voted agreement for due process and procedures, silencing & shutting down certain members from speaking, proposed expulsions of at least 5 BMDC members, demands to dissolve the group entirely and multiple threats! I was personally threatened by a person who has been part of a group of people who have been stalking & harassing me for months! Insults were hurled at almost everyone present who did not participate in this planned but failed takeover. Although we need to recognize this attack for what it was, this is a huge distraction from our work. We need to focus on the important work of BMDC. The people behind the attempted hostile takeover have already made clear that they want BMDC to be under their control or they will do anything they can to end the group. Members of BMDC who truly care about our group and the work we do need to unite despite any differences we may have and continue to stand against this attack!
