Clarke and Stephen intend to go public about being Displaced. They’ll do this with a video message posted to both of their personal cooltalks and the Red Wings cooltalk. The video will include:

- Introduction, w/ names and as the owners of Red Wings.

- Clarkeian post-disaster pep talk for the people. Saying they got through this one, and they came out stronger for it. There will be more struggles in the future. Being afraid of them isn't the way to go.

- A little about what they and Red Wings were doing during/have been doing following the recent crisis and that going forward they intend to build on that work to provide a community base and point of contact for introducing individuals to community initiatives, as well as providing food and shelter for those struggling.

- Confirmation that they will be providing organised shelter and medical aid in the event of any future crisis in partnership with PRESERVE.

- Announcement about the fact that they want to help the people of New Amsterdam to protect themselves. They're working on helping get a project off the ground to get people trained and ready, and that there will be announcements in the future about it.

- Coming forward as members of the group with the glow, and they found one another through the glow because they realized that when they touch (showing an example) they react to one another.

- No proven knowledge of where the glow comes from, but the only explanation that they've heard is that the powers are a gift from a god. It's not something they know if they want to buy into, but it's literally the only explanation they've received.

Before this announcement, Clarke will reach out to PRESERVE and:

- Offer a donation to set up a PRESERVE outpost at a location close by to Red Wings.

- Say that there are numerous people from their group hoping to help out with training and giving first aid during crises.

- Be ready to have that outpost and Red Wings work in tandem during crises.

- Create a working partnership with PRESERVE that doesn't force PRESERVE outside of its comfort zone.

Finally, the self-defense project:

- Stephen acquired a warehouse from Jason Todd during the previous monster event, which was quickly converted into a safehouse for PRESERVE.

- Moving forward, Stephen and Clarke will be reaching out to contact New Amsterdam businesses to see if they will be interested in sponsoring a self-defense center, a place where people can learn to protect themselves in a fight, as well as draw up evacuation plans. Is this something that will work out? Will anyone be interested in sponsoring this effort? Let us know if this is an unreasonable plan, and we'll have our characters go back to the drawing board.

- The center will need a gym, mats for training purposes, a place for people to shower, etc.

- They specifically won't be training people in weapons. This may change in the future!

- We believe that Lexa, Castiel, and Glimmer will be spearheading this project. Stephen and Clarke will be training Glimmer in the business aspects, but Clarke and Stephen will be working on getting sponsorship and money going.

When this goes live:

- We'd like for this to go live on October 5, 2020 (OOC), but we understand if this needs to be factored into the monthly calendar since it's a big deal.

- We're happy to have this big post part pushed back while they work on the business and negotiations behind the scenes, so let us know if that works better for you/the game.

Thanks!!
