[sudo-announce] Last Week of Omni Commons Crowdsourcing Campaign!

Hey Sudoers, We have one week left in the campaign and only need another $12,855! Thanks to the generosity of our community, we’ve received $40,000 in major donations plus $27,145 in grassroots funding through our crowdfunding campaign page. That means, together, we’ve raised $67,145--approaching our overall goal of $80,000. We depend on you to make this happen: - Donate, even a small amount! Every dollar counts: https://omnicommons.org/donate - Social Media! Get on Facebook, twitter, etc. and let people know that it's the last week and that they should contribute. Tagging specific people is a really good way to get people's attention. - If you want to canvas in-person this week, contact Chris at 510-692-1349 to coordinate (3:30pm-7:30pm Thu-Fri, and all day Sat-Sun). - Reach out to any bloggers, journalists, media outlets of any sort that you know and see if they’d be interested in covering the close of our campaign or if they’d be willing to share our donation link omnicommons.org/donate on social media, we’re: - https://twitter.com/omnicommons - https://www.facebook.com/omnicommons - Make personal phone calls, or write personal notes to people close to you who would be willing to contribute! - Copy and paste the following email message and send to others: Subject: Only One Week Left to Contribute--Open the Omni Commons!

Everywhere on the planet, those spaces, places, and resources that we share and hold in common are being targeted and exploited for personal gain and corporate profit. It is up to all of us to preserve whatever commons we still have, and to forge new ones whenever possible. The Omni Commons has tremendous potential to become a critical community space. In order to ensure our doors can open, and remain open, we need your help today. https://omnicommons.org/donate <http://omnicommons.org/donate> Love and Solidarity, The Omni Commons Fundraising Working Group
