Long Haul Survey Posted on March 13, 2009 by thelonghaul There is an ongoing discussion among members of Long Haul about how we can improve the effectiveness of Long Haul as a radical community space. We have also been talking about how we can address some long-term problems that have plagued Long Haul since its early days and that have limited how successful the project has been. We would like suggestions, comments and ideas from the community on how we could make Long Haul better, more relevant and more useful to you and the radical community. Please take a few moments to read and think about these questions. We’ll use your comments in upcoming discussions about changes we hope to make to open up and renew the space. Thanks!
