This is an archive of the original 2023 Chapter Proposal Hub

These are the planks, amendments, and resolutions we discussed and debated at the 2023 Chapter Convention. This has the final vote totals and the final passage results.

“Planks” are the main resolutions submitted by each committee to chart their work and political orientation for the year ahead. “Amendments” are changes to these planks that members have submitted; we’ll debate these at the convention. There are also two stand-alone resolutions that will be debated which aren’t connected to a plank.
