<div dir="ltr">I read the piece on tech-related gentrification (<a href="http://oaklandwiki.org/Emerging_Tech_Hub">http://oaklandwiki.org/Emerging_Tech_Hub</a>) with interest. I've added in a section discussing Sudo Room as a center for techie planning and coordination. It is known that techies often frequent the space.<div>
<br></div><div>The wiki is looking really good- although it does make me suspicious. Whoever is running it is most likely a techie (they are running a wiki), and most likely lives in Oakland. Troubling.</div><div><br></div>

The property owner, or the agent of the property owner, may also submit the declaration to a local law enforcement agency that shall enforce the declaration as an order for immediate possession of the premises pursuant to Section 1166a of the Code of Civil Procedure.</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p>There were two groups meeting at Sudo yesterday doing anti- eviction work. </p>
<p>AB- 1513 was written as a state wide anti-squatting bill, but its so broad and so bad that it affects everyone. The earlier afternoon group meeting yesterday was squatters from a number of different households likely to be directly affected if the bill passes.</p>
<p>AB- 1513 creates a means of extra judicial eviction. If it passes, a property owner (or someone representing themselves as such) can declare residents to be "unauthorized occupants" and get them immediately evicted. No court process, no rights for the residents. This is immediate eviction more or less on the honor system for the owner.</p>
<p>This can apply for families in foreclosure battling banks, for tenants on shaky ground fighting their landlords, for squatters, homestraders, community gardens, people living in mobile homes and vehicles...</p>
<p>The bill as it was originally written also had this creepy felony enhancement making it "felony punishable" for residents to refuse to leave after being ordered, or using violence or threats of violence during the extra-judicial eviction. The felony component (almost like hate crime enhancement for real estate) was stricken down and is no longer part of the bill, but I mention it because this is some sick twisted shit.</p>
<p>I encourage anyone interested to look up the text of AB- 1513 and give it a read.</p>
<p>The big update from today is that the bill is getting moved around between committees so Tues is not the hard deadline we thought it was. </p>
<p>We want to kill the bill at the committee level where there's fewer votes that we need to shut it down and kill it dead.</p>
<p>Find us at the Anarchist Bookfair Sat and find out more about how to help! We'll be by a big banner raining turds, warning of the coming "eviction shit storm"....</p>

<div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks Jeremy for the Oakland Wiki shoutout! <br><br></div>Yar, the people who came to Sudo last night at the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project data vis team. <<a href="https://antievictionmap.squarespace.com/" target="_blank">https://antievictionmap.squarespace.com/</a>> I'm in direct contact with them and will forward the OW article along. They are potentially interested in using LocalWiki (Oakland Wiki is a part of the LW network) as a tool for collective storytelling and resource-sharing. We'll be presenting to them next week. I can keep the list posted. ;]<br>
