Was it released for public consumption at all?

I invite any members of GOFIRST who were actually attending the presentation this was distributed at to give a first hand account of what happened. I've seen a few of these members describing what happened on other social media platforms but seem to be afraid of posing here lest they be crucified, which is exactly the problem at hand.
The issue isn't specifically volunteering. These kids just want to get involved and have their voice heard on the directon Minnesota is going. Volunteering is simply the avenue they have of being involved. This document, along with the general culture, has implied to them that if they voice views that don't agree with the leadership, their only method of getting involved (volunteering) will be relegated to more menial roles.
