For this reason, SEAC has Alternative Groups that correspond to each of its caucuses. But Not Narrow Group. They cannot suspend a SEAC function or meeting in order to meet. Rather, they meet in response to a caucus. The group should decide whether to report their discussion back to the large group, but individuals, of course, can share their own contributions at will.
Alternative Groups are as important as Caucuses in terms of fighting oppression.
It is important that Alternative Group members take themselves seriously and not treat their meetings as an opportunity to socialize or relax. Though we need to recognize the role that oppression plays in our society as a whole, an important purpose of SEAC's Caucuses and Alternative Groups is to explore the how oppression works within our organization. Ultimately, though, it's the responsibility of each Caucus and Alternative Group to set its own agenda. The agenda of a Caucus or Alternative Group meeting depends, in a large part, on its context. If they are meeting in response to a particular event or incident, discussion should focus on that.
